Ethereum price is down 0.5% in the last 24 hours to trade for $2,289 as of 1:20 a.m. EST with trading volume plunging 45%.

But Real Vision CEO and former Goldman Sachs executive Raoul Pal sees ETH having a strong 2024, when he says it will outperform Bitcoin (BTC).

For all the ETH bears… in Feb 2021, BTC first hit $44,000 (where it is today) and ETH was at $1400 (now $2250), 9 months later ETH was up 245%, BTC was up 45%…

According to Pal, the bull market price pattern that happened between Ethereum and Bitcoin in 2021 could repeat in 2024.

“For all the ETH bears, in February 2021, BTC first hit $44,000 (where it is today) and ETH was at $1,400 (now $2,250),” said Pal, adding, “Nine months later ETH was up 245%, BTC was up 45%.”

With such a sequel next year, Pal believes ETH could outperform BTC, which in his opinion would mark a key macro trend of 2024 with data from EXPAAM (Exponential Age Asset Management) accentuating the thesis.

Pal also expressed belief in the prospects of better macroeconomic conditions for risk-on assets like Ether, which could play a big role in sending Ethereum price on tear, as it happened in 2021. “It’s all about liquidity and the business cycle leading the risk curve,” he said.

Pal also delved into the Ethereum versus Solana topic, expressing expectation for SOL to outperform ETH in 2024.

No.

Ethereum Price Prognosis As ETH Breaks Out From A Bullish Technical Formation

Ethereum price has broken below a bullish technical formation, with ETH showing weakness as trading volume reduces. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) falling shows that momentum is dropping. If the trajectory continues, it could soon cross below the signal line, a crossover that is often interpreted as a sell signal.

Traders heeding this call could spell doom for ETH holders, as Ethereum price could extend the fall. Increased seller momentum could see ETH drop lower to lose the critical support at $2,147.

In the dire case, the slump could extrapolate for the market value of the largest altcoin by market capitalization to foray into the supply zone that now acts as a bullish breaker between $2,049 and $2,107. A break and close below the midline of this order block at $2,075 would confirm the continuation of the downtrend.

In highly extreme cases, the fall could see Ethereum price test the $1,935 support , below which the big picture bullish outlook would be invalidated.

Converse Case

On the other hand, judging from the position of the Awesome Oscillator (AO) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), the bulls still have a presence in the ETH market.

Should they increase their buying pressure, Ethereum price could foray back into the bullish technical formation, with consolidation within the ascending parallel channel promising more gains for investors.

In a highly bullish case, the gains could see Ethereum price extend, test the midline of the channel and in highly ambitious cases, flip it into support and use it as the jumping of point to test the upper boundary of the channel as it clears the range high at $2,403. Such a move would constitute a 10% climb above current levels.
