Sean Farrell from Fundstrat has put forward a bold but well-reasoned forecast:

If the ETH/BTC ratio returns to its 2021 peak of 0.14, Ethereum’s fair value lands at $16,000 per coin.

That’s not a meme — that’s a 4.5x upside from today’s level.

But here’s the punchline:
Farrell argues Ethereum is in a much stronger fundamental position now than it was in 2021.

What’s changed since 2021?

• 🧱 Ethereum has transitioned to Proof of Stake — massively reducing energy consumption and issuance.
• 🔥 Over 4 million ETH has been burned since EIP-1559.
• 📈 Institutional demand is maturing: ETH is no longer “tech money” — it’s becoming digital infrastructure.
• 🛠️ Layer 2 adoption, rollups, and scalability solutions are unlocking new economic layers on top of Ethereum.

Why the ETH/BTC ratio matters

The ETH/BTC chart is a measure of Ethereum’s strength relative to Bitcoin — and it has historically moved in strong cyclical patterns.

In the previous bull cycle, the ETH/BTC ratio peaked at 0.14. Today, it’s sitting around 0.05.
Even a partial recovery in this ratio would imply serious outperformance by Ethereum — and Farrell argues this is not just possible, but probable.

Smart money is watching this chart.
And so should you.

With institutional capital entering the space, ETH is no longer an altcoin — it’s becoming a core portfolio asset.
