Usually when the MSM starts to give a heads up on something, it means that they are about 6 months behind when it all started. So now I'm assuming that the price rise we've had since the beginning of the year has likely been attributed to insider hedge fund investors already getting in ahead of the rest before the "official announcement".
There's just no way that all this money coming in is from Average Joe & Jane.
Interesting comparison that reflects current trend:

I'm not really surprised. The hype and excitement around ETH is waning. Likely from people finally waking up and going "Wait a minute.... you mean the whole premise of ETH is that I've got to buy some first before I can use an ETH-platform based app, when there will be other similar apps out there I can use for free? So what is the motivator behind that again? Why would I want to do that?"
Also, I always knew this year that the alt pumping was just a way to distract people away from the Bitcoin show.
