The price of Ethereum (ETH) has dipped slightly today, dropping to $1,954 as the cryptocurrency market as a whole rises by 0.5% in the past 24 hours.
ETH is now up by 4% in a week and by 13% in the past fortnight, following the weekend's jump beyond $1,900, which now puts it up by 83% in the last 12 months.

As such, now may not be the exact time to buy Ethereum, with investors potentially being better off waiting until it has finished correcting.
In the meantime, traders may prefer to look to other opportunities in the market, with
