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.
This will not happen, because the price of bitcoin should grow not to 17 thousand but to 30 thousand or more. But this year it is not possible.
