Analyst Notes: According to crypto analyst Michael Van de Poppe, “If history repeats, then we’re close to the top on the Bitcoin dominance.”

Pseudonymous crypto analyst Inmortal said Solana’s price movement appears to resemble that of Ethereum before it experienced a significant surge from $400 to nearly $5,000 over a few months.

Based on Inmortal’s chart, he suggests Solana could soon skyrocket back to all-time highs and beyond after breaching the resistance of $60, similar to ETH hitting $400 in late 2020 before its explosion to new highs.

On-chain analytics firm, Santiment, has noted the increased focus on Bitcoin, as it continues to dominate the price market in 2023. However, the firm noted that it is equally important to pay attention to other cryptocurrencies such as ETH, ADA, XRP, BNB.
