why not. surely ethereum would hit at $2500 and for this bitcoin need to reach again $17,000 or more. Altcoin price depends on Bitcoin price so why ether price is low now.but Ethereum is also most popular and usable coin in this crypto world.so this coin has a huge demand and soon we may get a huge pump of ethereum.
That's not an assurance ethereum will reach to that value, but if ever there's a great news for bitcoin this will have probability to increase in sooner time. The demand depends on the popularity of eth as well as it usability, specially on most etherscan transactions grows much higher.
