Bitcoin and Ethereum Lead the Way

According to Pal, the crypto market is on the verge of a breakout, though much of the ecosystem remains in what he calls the “waiting room.” While Bitcoin and Ethereum have already established momentum, other cryptocurrencies are still waiting for their turn. He specifically pointed to the Total3 index—which excludes Bitcoin and Ethereum—as “ready to launch from the waiting room,” signaling that the broader altcoin market could be next in line. Pal emphasized patience, stating, “The path is clear…but never, ever expect tick-for-tick perfection. Its the pattern that counts.”

Ethereum in “Full Port Mode”

Pal shared a fresh Ethereum (ETH) chart, labeling its current phase as “Full Port.” The chart highlights ETH breaking out of a long consolidation pattern built since 2021, with higher lows steadily pressing against resistance, indicating a potential shift toward stronger upward momentum.

Solana, XRP, Sui, and Dogecoin: Who’s Next?

For Solana (SOL), Pal said it is “next to leave the waiting room,” showing SOL pressing against a key resistance after a period of accumulation. Regarding XRP, Pal described it as “in the process of full porting,” suggesting the ecosystem may be entering its next growth phase. Sui is still in the waiting room and is expected to follow Solana, while Dogecoin remains paused until other altcoins start moving.

A Longer Bull Cycle Ahead

Pal compared the current setup to the 2017 crypto boom but noted that markets never repeat perfectly. He believes this cycle could last longer than expected, with the bull market potentially extending into early or even mid-2026, supported by a slower global business cycle and extended liquidity conditions.
