The recent surge in crypto markets is evoking strong memories of the legendary 2017 bull run, particularly for long-time investors. Once again, Bitcoin is leading the charge, and analysts are beginning to draw compelling parallels between current conditions and those that preceded Bitcoin’s explosive 23x rally eight years ago.
A well-known crypto analyst recently shared insights suggesting that today’s market structure shows remarkable similarities to that of 2017. While he doesn’t expect an exact repeat, the analyst believes the stage is set for a potentially spectacular rally—one that could shape the next chapter of the market cycle.
Don’t Expect Another 23x, But Momentum Is Building
The analyst is cautious about predicting another 23x gain for Bitcoin in 2025. However, he highlights how macroeconomic signals, investor sentiment, and technical indicators are aligning in a way that suggests a significant uptrend may be underway.
One key takeaway is that, instead of Bitcoin, the next wave of life-changing gains could come from a new or underappreciated altcoin—just as we saw with Solana (SOL) and Sui (SUI) in recent bull markets.
Solana, Sui, and the Search for the Next Big Winner
Solana took center stage following its launch, delivering over 1,100% gains in its first year and climbing to an all-time high of $295 in 2024. The project not only rewarded early backers handsomely but also solidified its position among the top crypto assets.
Similarly, Sui emerged as a breakout star in 2024. With gains exceeding 1,000%, it attracted significant attention from retail and institutional investors alike. Both assets managed to capture the speculative energy of the 2017 bull market and bring it into a new era—proof that massive opportunity can exist beyond Bitcoin alone.
Indicators Are Flashing Bullish
According to the analyst, virtually every major macro and technical indicator is flashing bullish signals. While a repeat of Bitcoin’s historic performance is unlikely, the current conditions suggest a strong bull market is brewing. More importantly, it could be time for a new asset to take the spotlight—just as Solana and Sui have in the past.
As we look ahead, the smartest investors may not just watch Bitcoin, but also keep a close eye on promising altcoins with disruptive potential.
