​​Ethereum Key Milestones and Price Drivers

Ethereum's price performance in 2024 lagged behind Bitcoin, partly due to growing interest in networks like Solana, which captured attention with emerging narratives such as memecoins, AI agents, and prediction markets.

The primary catalyst for Ethereum's price growth was the approval of a spot ETF. However, trading launch paradoxically triggered a price decline, highlighting the classic "buy the rumor, sell the news" effect. Interestingly, Ethereum saw a significant price surge following Donald Trump's re-election victory.

Looking ahead, Ethereum's price trajectory seems tied to its ability to lead in adopting new narratives. Without dominating these trends, its performance appears comparatively subdued.

​​Bitcoin Ahr999 Index

The ahr999 index calculates the ratio of Bitcoin’s price to its 200-days moving average. It suggests that Bitcoin is currently in a fixed investment zone.

However, in past cycles, the index reached values as high as 9 and 23. Could this mean it might surpass 3 or 4 in the current cycle? One thing remains clear: the range between 1.20 and 0.45 is considered an ideal zone for accumulating Bitcoin.
