A widely followed crypto analyst says one leading layer-1 altcoin project may not have another 2024-style bull run.
Altcoin Sherpa, an incognito crypto trader of a digital kind, has just dropped a bombshell on his 248,700 followers on X: The great run of Solana against Bitcoin might be already over. Forget the astronomical gains from last year; Sherpa’s weekly charts suggest it is time for SOL/BTC to pause a little. Will the Solana express run out of steam?
Forgetting Solana lest it eclipsed Bitcoin. The glory days of 2021-2024? Lightning in a bottle. Couldn’t be said for SOL-the repeat performance would require a second Big Bang.”

SOL/BTC is trading for 0.0013768 BTC ($143) at time of writing, flat on the day.
After the stomach-turning dipping to about $103,000, an analyst is of the view that the market correction appears to be behind us. The Bitcoin rollercoaster may be settling!
“Local bottom for BTC in my opinion.”
Bitcoin’s caught in a tug-of-war, bouncing between a ceiling of $106,826 and a floor of $103,127. A breakout is brewing.
Bitcoin has been stuck in a three-week purgatory, a choppy range, with feints on either side. Price action? Flatlined. Your mission, should you accept it, is to survive-this storm. Resist the siren call of trading-a lesson I’m learning today after donating to the market gods. Sometimes the smartest move is to do nothing at all.

Bitcoin is trading for $104,359 at time of writing, flat on the day.
Lastly, the analyst says Ethereum (ETH) may trade sideways for another three months, similar to a 2024 pattern.
“Ethereum has been promising us a breakout, hasn’t it? Feels like we’re in the limelight of some crypto-purgatory. Remember the three-month tormenting chop of last year? History about to repeat itself? My bags are getting heavier and heavier…”
However, his crystal ball has predicted volcanic activity for ETH. A convergence of Exponentially Moving Averages (EMAs), much like the grinding together of tectonic plates, gives signs of a sudden shift: a bullish uprising is ready to explode from below.
“ETH probably just sit here in spot and don’t do anything. This type of compression means ‘big move coming.’”

ETH is trading for $2,501 at time of writing.
