<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhnvRJwl3Vk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Analyst Benjamin Cowen</a> recently discussed the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/market-price-prediction-ethereum-2019/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ethereum</a> (ETH) to <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/bitcoin-price-prediction/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin</a> (BTC) valuation, explaining its importance as a measure of the altcoin market’s health, especially as we approach 2025. He believes that Bitcoin dominance will decline by 2025, making it a good time to focus on ETH. 
The analyst has been tracking the ETH/BTC valuation for years and turned bearish on it in May 2022. Recently, ETH/BTC has been close to a low point, and he suggests that it could be near the bottom. However, there’s still a possibility that ETH/BTC could dip below 0.04 before the year ends. 
He compares the current situation with past years like 2016 and 2019, opening up about similarities and differences. He suggested that while the market could follow patterns from those years, 2024 might play out differently due to factors like the Bitcoin halving and rate cuts. He concludes that ETH/BTC could bottom out in September 2024 but remains cautious about predicting the future. Despite being bearish on ETH/BTC for a while, he still considers Ethereum a strong investment option, second only to Bitcoin. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-here-s-a-breakdown-of-his-analysis-nbsp">Here’s a breakdown of his analysis:&nbsp;</h2> 
ETH/BTC Ratio Movement: He opened up about the possibility that the ETH/BTC ratio might drop below a major support level, possibly reaching 0.04. He referenced historical patterns from 2019, saying that after a similar drop, the ratio experienced three consecutive red months. 
Impact of the Bull Market Support Band: If Ethereum (ETH/USD) rallies to the bull market support band before the end of the month, it could change the ETH/BTC ratio. This could echo the 2019 scenario where ETH experienced a significant drop before eventually bottoming out. 
Federal Reserve’s Role: The analyst suggests that if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by 25 or 50 basis points in September, it could influence the ETH/BTC ratio, possibly signaling a bottoming out. The historical comparison to 2019 indicates that a significant cut could have accelerated ETH/BTC’s recovery. 
Unemployment Rate &amp; Historical Inflation: He draws parallels between the current economic situation and historical periods, particularly the 1970s, suggesting that current unemployment trends might allow the Fed to cut rates more aggressively without the risks faced in the past.
