Popular analyst Peter Brandt, who has over 50 years of experience, stated that he is optimistic about $SOL and argued that Solana could outperform Ethereum.
Peter Brandt noted the formation of the classic “cup and handle” pattern on the $SOL/$ETH chart, saying that this pattern is a bullish signal. This pattern is a well-known technical pattern that usually signals an upward breakout.
Pointing out that Solana could experience a big explosion against Ethereum in the face of this formation, the analyst stated that $SOL could rise twice against $ETH.
Calling $ETH “invalid,” Brandt pointed to the increasing volume and technical strength in $SOL.
Solana’s rise is also gaining institutional support, with Bitcoin supporter Cathie Wood’s firm Ark Invest making its first direct investment in $SOL, while cryptocurrency firm Galaxy Digital sold its Ethereum holdings and bought Solana from Binance.
This C&H is still playing out, by the way.
