A closely followed crypto analyst who accurately predicted the Bitcoin (BTC) year-end crash is updating his forecast on several altcoins.
Pseudonymous crypto trader Smart Contracter tells his 205,800 Twitter followers that monthly closes are looking good for a number of projects.
One altcoin on Smart Contracter’s radar is Fantom (FTM), which he says has already completed a corrective A-B-C pattern on the weekly timeframe. The trader predicts an explosive 190% move for the smart contract platform from its current level of $1.55 to a fresh all-time high of around $4.50.
“FTM weekly looking like a big corrective A-B-C from the highs.
Another that I think has a cracking chance of an all-time high this year.”

Looking at SOL against the US dollar (SOL/USD), Smart Contracter says the pair is showing a bullish reversal pattern at the bottom of a multi-month downtrend.
“Monthly charts closed today and one of the altcoins I like is Solana (SOL). On the US dollar pair, we have a textbook morning star pattern on the monthly timeframe which occurred dead smack on the 0.618 [Fibonacci retracement level].”
Paired against Bitcoin (SOL/BTC), Smart Contracter says that Solana also completed a three-wave corrective pattern (A-B-C), suggesting that a trend reversal is in sight.
“Also on the Bitcoin pair, the whole structure from the top looks like a clear A-B-C [pattern].”

Podcast Notes: Hyperliquid Has Become the Top Interest Point for Traditional Hedge Funds

Empire Podcast hosts Jason Yanowitz and Santiago Santos discuss the surging institutional interest in Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual exchange, marking the highest level of engagement from traditional hedge fund managers since Paul Tudor Jones endorsed Bitcoin in 2020. The primary driver is the demand for weekend trading of commodities like oil, especially during geopolitical tensions such as the Iran conflict, as Hyperliquid provides the only active price discovery venue when traditional markets are closed. Trade XYZ, a front-end on Hyperliquid, has seen significant growth, with weekend oil price predictions having a median error of only 50 basis points. Santos predicts commodity trading volume on Hyperliquid will surpass Bitcoin within the year and that its market cap could rise from $25 billion to $100 billion. Other key points include Kraken raising $200 million at a reduced valuation of $13.3 billion, and the SEC clarifying that self-custodied DeFi frontends like MetaMask are not subject to broker-dealer rules, resolving a major regulatory uncertainty. The hosts also note the strong correlation between crypto and macro markets, with the S&P 500 posting one of its best 10-day rallies since 1950. They highlight MicroStrategy's continued Bitcoin acquisitions and the potential of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization as a key trend. The discussion concludes with skepticism towards many L2 projects, predicting a wave of protocols truly going to zero as capital concentrates in proven assets like Bitcoin and Hyperliquid.
