Key Takeaways
Bitcoin and Ethereum Market Overview
- Bitcoin’s Slow Rise: The report notes that Bitcoin has been slowly increasing in value over the past 30 days, with a current price of $27,800. The author predicts a potential dip in Q4, possibly below $24k, before a rise to $35k territories.
- Ethereum’s Underperformance: Ethereum’s price is slightly down, with the ETH futures ETF launch of VanEck disappointing in terms of volumes. However, the author believes that Ethereum will outperform Bitcoin in the bull run.
Altcoin Performance
- Solana’s Strength: Solana (SOL) has been one of the strongest major altcoins, with a 16% increase. The author attributes this to two clear short squeezes and remains confident that SOL will outperform ETH in the bull run.
- Avalanche and Canto Gains: Avalanche (AVAX) and Canto (CANTO) have also seen significant gains. AVAX’s rise is attributed to the success of Stars Arena, a new “friendtech of Avax”. CANTO’s gains could be due to the announcement that it would be migrating to a zk-L2 on Ethereum powered by the Polygon CDK.
