If $BTC goes to 48k, here’s what ETH likely does (based on real math, not hopium)
Before guessing the future, let’s acknowledge what already happened.
BTC topped around 126k and fell to 60k
That’s a 52% drawdown
$ETH topped near 4950 and fell to 1750
That’s a 65% drawdown
So ETH didn’t just follow $BTC
it overreacted by ~1.25x, mainly due to leverage and panic.
That part of the damage is already done.
Now the real question isn’t “Can ETH go lower?”
It’s from where and under what conditions.
Now assume this scenario:
BTC breaks 60k and grinds down to 48k
That’s another 20% downside
ETH’s reaction depends entirely on its starting point when this happens.
Scenario 1: ETH has bounced to 2300–2400 before BTC drops
This is the most realistic setup.
Using the same ETH/BTC volatility ratio (1.2x–1.3x):
20% BTC drop → 24–26% ETH drop
ETH 2400 → 1800
ETH 2300 → 1700
This is not panic.
This is controlled fear.
Scenario 2: ETH is already weak near 1900–2000
Now things change.
There’s less buffer.
Liquidations start earlier.
In this case:
ETH likely trades 1500–1400
Quick wicks lower are possible
Not because ETH is broken
But because leverage gets flushed again
Scenario 3: Full market panic (low probability, high damage)
This needs:-
BTC losing 48k fast
Bad macro or liquidity shock
Only then do we talk about:
1100–1200 wicks
Short-lived, emotional moves
Maximum pain, minimum time
Important thing most people miss
ETH already did its first panic leg when it hit 1750.
Second legs are usually:
Slower
Less violent
More selective
That’s why survival matters more than prediction.
My honest takeaway
ETH below 1500 is possible only if BTC is still falling
ETH below 1300 needs real panic, not Twitter fear
Overleveraged traders won’t survive this range
Spot holders with patience usually do
Markets don’t reward confidence.
They reward risk management.
If BTC actually goes to 48k,
where do you think ETH finds real buyers?
1400, 1200, or lower?
