The post Trader Says Ethereum Rival One of His ‘Highest Conviction’ Trades, Forecasts Major Catch-Up on Bullish Catalyst appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

A closely followed analyst believes that one Ethereum (ETH) challenger is gearing up to spark massive rallies and play catch-up with other high-flying crypto assets. In a video update, pseudonymous analyst Rager tells his 197,800 followers on the social media platform X that Fantom (FTM) is one of his highest conviction trades for the coming year.

Right now, where it’s sitting at, is a really good place.” Sonic is Fantom’s next-generation blockchain that will “scale the network to unprecedented heights” and can process 2,000 transactions per second. The new technology will also reduce storage requirements by up to 90%, according to the project. Fantom’s migration to Sonic is reportedly slated for Q4 of this year but the exact date is still unknown. Rager goes on to say that he thinks Fantom has the potential to mirror Solana’s (SOL) parabolic rally witnessed from September 2023 to March of this year. “I think that anything under a dollar, currently with the chart, is a good thing for Fantom. I think that there’s a major gap…
