A closely followed crypto analyst believes that one Ethereum (ETH) competitor is gearing up for a massive breakout.

Jamie Coutts, the chief crypto analyst at Real Vision, says that Solana (SOL) is printing a bullish pattern against Bitcoin (BTC) based on the simple moving average (SMA) crossover on the daily chart.

“Solana’s relative strength is quite something. After consolidating against king Bitcoin, it looks like a breakout is on the horizon.”

The analyst shares a chart that suggests the SOL/BTC pair is entering an uptrend after the shorter-term SMA crossed the longer-term SMA, which has signaled rallies in the past.

SOL/BTC is trading for 0.002663 BTC ($172) at time of writing, down more than 1.7% in the last 24 hours.

Next up, the analyst says key metrics suggest Bitcoin is gearing up for a move to the upside, including a rise in open interest, or the total number of outstanding derivatives contracts for a given asset.

“Open interest at new all-time highs (ATHs), but funding is positive/neutral (seven-day average annualized 8.7%). Bitcoin is attempting to break out, and this time aggregate positioning is more balanced.”

He also says Bitcoin’s hash rate is flashing bullish as the 30-day SMA crosses the 90-day SMA.

“Bitcoin hash rate recovery is one of the best signals for network health. A simple 30- and 90-day moving average cross produces: 67% win record, profit factor of 2.18, Sharpe [ratio] 1.88 and Sortino [ratio] 2.64.

HODL outperforms this strategy, but it can be an effective risk management tool for cautious investors. When you regress hash rate and price, it’s clear they are very interdependent. A growing hash rate says BTC is going higher.”

Bitcoin is trading for $64,722 at time of writing, down more than 2% in the last 24 hours.

Ex-Goldman Sachs executive Raoul Pal says the altcoin market cap is on the verge of soaring to new all-time highs (ATHs).

In a new video update, the Real Vision CEO says that the digital assets market could enter “crypto summer” within a month, when Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL) and other alts could have massive rallies.

A “crypto summer” generally means increased prices, higher trading volume, bullish market sentiment, more network development and wider adoption.

“It’s very normal for crypto spring for Bitcoin to outperform and then as we come into crypto summer that we’re transitioning into now ETH starts to outperform Bitcoin…

Will it outperform Solana? I very much doubt it. Solana is earlier in the adoption curve so it means the percentage changes are larger.

You can see the start of crypto spring, which was the breakout of this pattern and the slight acceleration. That says we’re getting to warmer days of spring as it were. But really, summer happens when you break the previous all-time high in market cap and things go utterly bananas. So this [chart below is altcoins] excluding Ethereum, so this is the rest of the space, really starting to accelerate and sometime in 2024 we will hit an all-time high market cap of altcoins and this chart will go truly into the banana zone.”

Pal also predicts that the crypto market will have a “crypto fall” similar to the 2013 and 2017 cycles when the market extended rallies even higher. Many analysts believe that crypto runs in four-year cycles and divides the cycles up into four seasons of the year to explain the different phases.

“Let’s talk about crypto summer just in very simplistic terms. Here is the chart of the seasons. So spring is green. We had a great spring this year. Summer is when a lot of the gains start to happen. Fall was tricky last time around. We got a stunted cycle. If you remember that kind of double-toppy style thing.

It was highly unusual. 2017, and 2013 were typical of the fall season. And so we don’t know how this one’s going to play out. I think it plays out more like 2013, 2017, but it’s all assessing the odds as we go. But right now this is the easy year, the summer.”

Pal predicts that crypto summer will begin in the next month to month and a half.

“Very soon, like in the next month, next month and a half, we will start to hit the banana zone. And this is what happens when you hit the banana zone. Things get absolutely wild, which is the really magical part of why this is the greatest macro trade of all time is this part and it’s coming.”

Looking at his chart, Pal suggests that during “crypto summer” Bitcoin (BTC) could soar into the six-figure range, reaching as high as $300,000.

At time of writing, JUP is trading for $1.52, up over 7% in the last 24 hours.
