Analyst Says ‘Flood Gates Are Open’ for Altcoin That’s up 10x in Six Months, Updates Outlook on Bitcoin and Sei

A widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader is remaining bullish on one red-hot Ethereum (ETH) competitor.

The analyst pseudonymously known as Bluntz tells his 248,700 followers on social media platform X that Solana (SOL) has a lot more upside potential after soaring 10x since September.

“SOL vertical accumulation has ended. Flood gates are open and the channel broken. All-time highs in sight.”

Looking at the trader’s chart, he suggests that Solana’s upward momentum is strengthening after a bullish breakout from an ascending channel.

Solana is trading for $179.56 at time of writing, up more than 5% in the last 24 hours. Solana hit an all-time high of $259.96 in November 2021.

The trader also says that another big reason to remain bullish on Solana is that it is outperforming against both Bitcoin (SOL/BTC) and Ethereum (SOL/ETH).

“SOL/BTC and SOL/ETH already putting in new highs. There is no second best.”

Next up, the trader uses the Elliott Wave theory to predict that Bitcoin is heading to around $80,000 after the recent dip to the mid-$60,000 level.

The Elliot Wave theory states that the main trend of the price of an asset moves in a five-wave pattern while a correction takes place in a three-wave ABC pattern.

“Nice divs on BTC here into an ABC retest of prior all-time high with five waves accounted for within the C. Open Interest nuked and funding flat and back to neutral. send it.”

Looking at the trader’s one-hour chart, he suggests that Bitcoin has completed a corrective ABC wave and is about to begin a five-wave move up.

Bitcoin is trading for $68,262 at time of writing, down 3.7% in the last 24 hours.

Lastly, the trader says that the native token of the layer-1 blockchain Sei (SEI) is on the verge of breaking out in a five-wave pattern to as high as $1.60.

“SEI has been a slow burn this week, but finally looks ready in my opinion. Next impulse up about to start in my opinion.”

Sei is trading for $1.06 at time of writing, up more than 24% in the last 24 hours.
