Trader Says Large-Cap Ethereum Competitor Could Explode 2x After Overcoming Major Resistance Level, Unveils Targets for XRP, Dogecoin and Sui
A widely followed crypto analyst says that one large-cap rival of Ethereum ( ETH ) is poised to double up in price if it can break through a crucial resistance level while updating his outlook on other altcoins.
In a new thread, crypto trader Ali Martinez tells his 158,700 followers on X that the smart contract platform Solana ( SOL ) could explode all the way up to $520 if it has a weekly close over $260.

However, according to the trader’s chart, an event like this wouldn’t happen until mid-2026 or 2027. Solana is trading for $230 at time of writing, a 1.9% rise during the last 24 hours.
Moving on to XRP , the digital asset associated with the payments platform Ripple, Martinez says the token appears as if it’s about to break out of a triangle, looking to hit a price tag of $3.60 sometime near the end of October.

DOGE is trading for $0.257 at time of writing, a 2.4% rise during the last 24 hours.
Concluding his analysis with the layer-1 blockchain Sui Network ( SUI ), Martinez says the asset appears to be in its prime “buy zone” before it works its way up to a price of $7 sometime before the end of the year.
