The chances of this happening is extremely low. Unless there are critical bugs or attacks that completely disrupt the Bitcoin blockchain and data integrity. But these are unlikely also as we know Bitcoin core developers are consist of those smart individuals that have been with Bitcoin since the beginning and earlier days.

Most BTC hodlers are somewhat Bitcoin maximalist. And most of the people treat BTC as digital gold and use it for store value. So, as BTC supply cap are fixed, the only way BTC price will drop is with big exchange hacks and BTC dump to liquidate after that.

Ethereum on the other hand have no fixed supply. The market and participant for Ethereum are much more larger compare to Bitcoin due to its use case for Smart Contracts. There are tons of developers and smart contracts being developed now. The demand for ETH will increase potentially. But because of the uncapped supply, unlikely ETH price will surpass BTC in any forseeable future.
