A crypto strategist says he’s keeping a close watch on three decentralized finance (DeFi) altcoins that he believes are showing strength amid the market consolidation.
Pseudonymous analyst Altcoin Sherpa tells his 190,400 Twitter followers that decentralized exchanges $DYDX (dYdX), $GMX ($GMX) and Injective ($INJ) are “holding up very well” as the crypto rally takes a breather.
“$DYDX, $GMX and $INJ: red days in a bull environment clarifies a lot – which alts are strong, which ones are dumping, etc. Perp dexes aren’t moving in this red day; they’re holding up very well. There is a lot of strength with these.”
At time of writing, $DYDX is trading at $3.24, up over 34% in the past day. $GMX is worth $59.02 and IN is trading at $3.31, up 2% and 19%, respectively.
As for Bitcoin ($BTC), the trader says the king crypto could be following its late 2018 to early 2019 setup. Altcoin Sherpa says that in 2018, Bitcoin rallied hard after a multi-month downtrend.
“[In] 2018 I think we saw very clear signs of a prolonged downtrend, followed by an accumulation cycle, followed by a strong move from $3,000-$14,000.”
He says $BTC is currently exhibiting similar behaviors.
“[In] 2023 I think we’re seeing some sort of version of 2018 going into 2019 with this current rally, but everything is on a shortened time cycle. This is true for a few reasons, the primary being that 2022 was a slaughterhouse and didn’t look like 2018.”
The analyst sees Bitcoin rallying to $25,000, adding that he has certain targets as high as $30,000.
At time of writing, Bitcoin is worth $23,131.
