With the entire alt-coin world stuck trading sideways while Bitcoin goes looking for NASA's Hubble telescope, alt-coins holders are wondering: "when will it be our turn?" We can look back to Dec 2017 where Bitcoin hit its previous ATH @ 19.7K to determine when Ethereum (and co.) got their shot: a month after Bitcoin took off.
The similarities between ETHBTC then and now are oddly similar: During Bitcoin's Dec 2017 peak, ETHBTC sat at .0265 During Bitcoin's Dec 2020 peak, ETHBTC sits at .0265
Where did ETHBTC go from there? It gained 300% over the next few week to a tick under .1 (i.e. 10%)
I don't believe we see gains quite like that, but even a rally to the top of the 2020 ETHBTC growth channel would bring ETHBTC to .055 (i.e. 5.5%). Note: the slope used in the current ETHBTC is really close to that of the 2018 rally, and matches the bounce from the bottom of the 2020 channel.
If we believe BTCUSD is to see a ~30% pullback from its peak of $24+K, we should see Bitcoin around 17K-18K. We can then calculate where we see ETHUSD using this ETHBTC forecast.
WIth that, I do think Bitcoin and ETHBTC have good chances of being higher than 18K and 0.055 respectively; and it's only proportionate that with Bitcoin outpacing it's previous ATH by ~25% that the other coins would as well. I think an Ethereum ATH is on the table for January (disregarding all of the bullish news - ETH2.0, ETFs, CME, Microsoft, etc.)
