**Ether's Rollercoaster: A Contrarian Bet for 2024? 🚀**

- **Ether's Struggles:** Since 2024 began, Ether (ETH) has been stuck in the mud, failing to gain momentum.

- **Contrarian Bet:** Matt Hougan from Bitwise calls Ethereum the underdog for 2025, despite its 42-month low against Bitcoin.

- **Market Dynamics:** Solana (SOL) is up 38% YTD, but Ether remains flat. Analysts predict Ether might follow Solana's downtrend.

- **Future Prospects:** If ETH dips below $2,200, it could trigger $1B in liquidations. Yet, a triple bottom chart could spark a rally in Q4 2024.

- **Bitcoin's Impact:** A potential Bitcoin rally to $92,000 could lift Ether too.
