In the last bull run, when the Bitcoin price surged and crossed $100,000, the Ethereum price was expected to follow the same trajectory as it had in the past. But that was not the case, and the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap was barely able to cross its previous all-time high price, but by only around $100.
