Renowned crypto trader Peter Brandt recently explored the SOL/ETH chart, uncovering insights pointing to a significant resistance level.

In a recent tweet, Peter Brandt stresses the importance of technical analysis. He underscores the role of resistance levels, showcasing their ability to predict price movements.

Solana Rises

While Ethereum grapples with challenges like high gas fees and scalability issues, investors are turning to Solana as a viable alternative. Solana’s stellar performance and low fees make it an attractive option amidst Ethereum’s struggles. As Ethereum faces hurdles, Solana gains traction as a promising contender, drawing increased interest from investors seeking efficiency and scalability.

Brandt injects humor into his analysis, joking about spreading “FUD” (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) about Ethereum.

Ethereum: A “Junk Coin”?

This isn’t the first time Brandt has expressed skepticism towards Ethereum. He previously labeled Ethereum as a “junk coin,” citing alleged shortcomings as a store of value and criticizing its functionality, including difficulties with layer-2 solutions and high gas fees. 

Brandt’s broader conviction remains that Bitcoin reigns supreme in the cryptocurrency market.

Over the past 24 hours, Solana has experienced a notable surge, with its price rising by 3.38% to reach $175.58. This upward trend is accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, surging by 94.40% to $8.54 billion.
