Trader Says Ethereum Competitor That’s Up 140% in Three Weeks To Go ‘Way Higher,’ Maps Path Forward for Bitcoin

A popular analyst thinks that one red-hot altcoin has a lot more upside potential after putting up huge gains within weeks.

The pseudonymous analyst known as Altcoin Sherpa tells his 242,900 followers on the social media platform X that layer-1 blockchain Sonic ( S ) may soon hit $1.

“S is still one of the strongest mid-caps there is right now. People forget this coin went to almost $4 last cycle. [Sonic Founder Andre Cronje] bull posting a lot plus some interesting activity over there. Send it way higher.”

He also predicts that S may soon increase more than 16% of its current value to hit a psychological price level.

“S: insanely nice chart. $1 is destined in my opinion.”

Sonic soared from its $0.359 on February 3rd to $0.8615 at time of writing, a 140% gain.

Next up, the trader says that Bitcoin ( BTC ) is stuck trading within an enduring range but suggests it may soon break out.

“BTC: this price action will continue to give us loads of false hope and is the definition of chop. (Though, I do think the relative bottom is in for many coins.)”

Bitcoin is trading for $98,175 at time of writing, up 1.7% in the last 24 hours.

The trader also says he is long-term bullish on artificial intelligence (AI)-focused altcoin AI Rig Complex ( ARC ) and MANTRA DAO ( OM ), a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform.

“Active longs.

ARC: insane volatility on this one, has potential to go 20% up or down in a day, still long on this…

OM: this is slower trade that is probably going to take several days/weeks to play out and acts as a stablecoin until it goes up 30%. Much more of a safer play for me.”

ARC is trading for $0.24 at time of writing, up 30.1% at time of writing. Meanwhile, OM is trading for $8 at time of writing, up 5.2% on the day.
