Crypto Trader Says Solana Rival Could Surge by 30%, Updates Outlook on Bitcoin, Polygon and Aave

By Daily Hodl Staff

A closely followed crypto analyst says that one competitor of Solana (SOL) could skyrocket by 30% while updating his outlook on Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital assets.

In a new strategy session, crypto trader Ali Martinez tells his 69,600 followers on the social media platform X that one key metric is flashing buy signal for SUI, the native crypto asset of layer-1 blockchain and smart contract platform Sui Network.

The Tom DeMark (TD) Sequential Indicator is a metric used by traders to predict points of reversal for the price of an asset.

SUI is trading for $0.843 at time of writing, a fractional increase during the last 24 hours.

Moving on to decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Aave (AAVE), Martinez says the altcoin could face a 27% correction as it tends to dip after the TD Sequential flashes a sell signal on its daily chart, which the trader says happened recently.

AAVE is valued at $135.47 at time of writing, a 1.1% decrease during the last day.

The strategist goes on to note that layer-2 scaling solution Polygon (MATIC) is also facing a correction after days of upward momentum.

“Polygon has seen a significant surge in recent days, but caution is advised. The TD Sequential on the hourly chart is signaling a potential correction for MATIC.”

MATIC is trading for $0.52 at time of writing, an 8.4% gain during the last 24 hours.

Concluding his analysis with the crypto king, Martinez says based on history, BTC is still in the early stages of its post-halving bull cycle. The trader also notes that the digital assets industry tends to climb after the stablecoin Tether (USDT) is minted on a large scale.

“It’s been 119 days since the 2024 Bitcoin halving. In the last two cycles, BTC hit a market top around 530 days post-halving. If history repeats, we’re still in the early stages of this cycle!”

Bitcoin is trading for $60,330 at time of writing.
