Bitcoin has plunged 15% in the past month and altcoins are lagging amid a severe crypto market correction.

But renowned crypto trader and analyst Michael van de Poppe says the recent correction is a classic move by crypto whales to lower prices and buy more assets.

He's now anticipated a market rebound and urged his followers to 'just hold' their Bitcoin and altcoins.

Classic move on Sunday to dump the markets.

The big guys want prices lower to scoop as much as they can from you.

Just hold your #Bitcoin & #Altcoins.

Best Crypto To Buy Now: 4 Altcoins That Could Turn $500 Into $50,000

Investor sentiment has turned super bearish, with the Crypto Fear And Greed Index plunging seven points from a reading of ”Fear” to ”Extreme Fear” in the past 24 hours.

Often that’s a sign it’s time for those with a strong stomach to buy the dip. So, for those of the view that things can get better, which altcoins provide strong upside potential right now?

The following four altcoins – two listed, two in presale – are among those that top crypto analysts say have explosive potential:

Pi Network (PI)

Pi Network is not a new project, but its long-awaited layer-1 network and the listing of PI Coin has recently taken the crypto scene by storm.

It’s rare that a new crypto can join the ranks of the biggest tokens in the market, but PI coin has defied the odds and is already the 11th largest with a market capitalization of almost $10.2 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.

Despite that, Pi coin is still 58% below its all-time high. That’s because there were so many investors who wanted to unload the PI rewards they’d mined over the years in the open market as soon as it listed.

This triggered an initial strong selloff, but the PI Coin price has now stabilized at around $1.40.

Investors on X are pushing for the largest crypto exchange by trading volume, Binance, to list Pi Coin. This could result in even more exposure for the altcoin, and subsequently be followed by a wave of bullish pressure.

Since its inception at the start of 2019, the Pi Network community has grown to more than 60 million members.

Solaxy (SOLX)

Solaxy is the first layer-2 scaling project for Solana and it’s become one of the most successful presales of the year after raising over $25.6 million.

Investors are buying into the idea that Solaxy is a perfect solution for the congestion that’s hampering Solana, especially after it worsened following the hype around SOL-based meme coins after the launch of Official Trump (TRUMP) and Official Melania Meme (MELANIA) meme coins in January.

Solaxy will help reduce that congestion by processing transactions on its own blockchain. Using proven scaling technologies such as rollups, Solaxy will bundle SOL transactions and submit them back to Solana for final verification.

This approach to transaction processing has helped the Ethereum network scale with layer-2 chains such as Arbitrum and Optimism easing the transactional workload on the Ethereum blockchain.

99Bitcoins, a prominent YouTube channel that has over 726K subscribers, says SOLX could soar 10X after launch.

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum is the altcoin pioneer, and has paved the way for more cryptos to enter the market using its ERC-20 token standard.

The Trump family’s World Liberty Financial platform has also given ETH a ringing endorsement recently, buying millions of dollars of the biggest altcoin by market cap.

Despite that, the largest altcoin is still 58% below its all-time high.

The growing institutional adoption of Ethereum could also lead to more value being transacted on the network, having a positive effect on ETH’s price. 

With the launch of spot Ethereum ETFs (exchange-traded funds) in the US last year and growing institutional adoption, That Martini Guy, with 676k followers on X, said earlier today that ETH is set to quadruple. 

ETHEREUM WILL QUADRUPLE FROM HERE

BE PATIENT.
