Nothing is impossible and not even in this volatile market. It can surpass it as it has already begun with a good chance to do well this year. I hope most alternative coins that have been sleeping for years will also perform well this year. The outlook sem to be great for the year 2020
Of course nothing's impossible but for ETH to break $1400, BTC first needs to break $20k. That's just how it's gonna be for the entire crypto market. BTC won't determine the exact fates for alts, but alts will only moon when Bitcoin does. And not all of them will wake up, we'll still see alts die in a major way.
Thats not possible for eth ya we have seen eth got pumped during btc rally but according to chart and current market scenario this year i am not seeing hyped rally for eth. If ethereum upgrade will create some hype it will take it to 300-400$ mark and i think it is good for it as we will again see growth for eth Blockchain and its token will follows its trend.
