Van de Poppe points to the fact that Ethereum historically tends to rally at the beginning of the year. For instance, the ETH price skyrocketed by more than 52 percent in February while Bitcoin was in limbo.

Hence, there is every reason to believe that Ethereum could continue its Q1 winning streak in 2020. Other top altcoins might piggyback off Ether's strength and post significant gains.

As reported by U.Today, XRP and Stellar (XLM) turned out to be the worst-performing coins of2019, shedding 39 percent and 50 percent of their value respectively.
