(@Josh_Rager) February 14, 2020 These are BTC prices for ETH, not USD which is why the potential is much greater. Ethereum has been in the depths of its first major bear market which has lasted over two years. Once it finally breaks out of this there will be huge gains against both fiat and bitcoin. Even with the latest momentum, Ethereum is still 80% off its previous all-time high whereas BTC is less than 50% down. Ethereum therefore has a lot further to run in the short term while bitcoin may not get the momentum until the year after the halving as it has done previously. The analyst added that he would wait for a retrace before buying in and is very bullish on ETH this year which has a lot in the pipeline. Additionally, it is usually the high cap crypto assets that recover first if this is to be the beginning of an altseason. Rager mentioned that ETH can be used to stack sats but its likely use will be for collateral in DeFi markets. The amount of ETH locked up in DeFi has surged over 80% in the past seven months and this trend is set to continue which is all bullish for demand and prices. How high will Ethereum prices go in 2020? Add your predictions below.
