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.
That is some funny math if Bitcoin doubles ETH mysteriously jumps from $220 to $1400, For a 536% Bitcoin would need to break $63636
