A renowned crypto analyst with a substantial following on Twitter has recently revised his outlook on two of the leading smart contract-enabled blockchain platforms: Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL).

Ethereum’s Bullish Signal

Addressing his 694,700 Twitter followers, the pseudonymous analyst known as Pentoshi highlights a compelling bullish signal for Ethereum. He notes that the proportion of Ethereum staked, meaning locked-in smart contracts to participate in various protocols and earn rewards, has surpassed the amount available on centralized exchanges. This shift, according to Pentoshi, may potentially lead to a price appreciation for Ethereum.

"But why price not up"

There will come a point in time, when all the people who wanted to sell have sold and the balance shifts slowly, than all at once

He further predicts that as the number of sellers decreases, the price of Ethereum is likely to experience an upswing. He explains that a tipping point will be reached when those who intended to sell have already done so, causing a gradual shift in the balance of supply and demand. This process may eventually result in a significant price surge.

Additionally, he also points out other factors that could contribute to Ethereum’s rally. Ethereum has implemented a burning mechanism, which occasionally makes the token deflationary. This means that, over time, the total supply of Ethereum could decrease due to tokens being permanently removed from circulation.

In his view, Ethereum’s new “fundamentals” and the forthcoming Bitcoin halving could create an attractive atmosphere for Ethereum’s rise. As Ethereum is used increasingly in on-chain trading and a portion of the supply is staked, deflation may drive prices higher.

Solana’s Potential Dip in July?

I do think you'll be able to buy $SOL cheaper than current price in Q3

Shifting his focus to Solana (SOL), currently the 10th-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, Pentoshi offers a contrasting view. He suggests that Solana might experience a dip in its price between July and September.

While acknowledging the possibility of Solana’s price sliding during Q3, the analyst also highlights the prevailing sentiment of some individuals who might be prematurely dismissing the cryptocurrency. This acknowledgment underscores the resilience and potential for Solana’s long-term prospects despite the anticipated short-term dip.

In conclusion, the crypto analyst presents a mixed outlook for Ethereum and Solana. Ethereum’s staking surge and deflationary characteristics create an optimistic outlook, whereas Solana might undergo a temporary dip before potentially recovering and displaying its underlying strength.
