Crypto Analyst Says 'Crowd Sentiment' On This Ethereum-Killer Is Such That 'Being Contrarian Now Might Just Pay Off'

Cryptocurrency analyst, Ali Martinez, suggests that the current low crowd sentiment for Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) could present a contrarian opportunity.

What Happened: On Tuesday, Martinez took to Twitter to express his views on the current state of Solana, which is sometimes dubbed as an Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) killer.. He noted that the crowd sentiment for $SOL is at its lowest since the Solana network outage on February 6. Martinez hinted that being contrarian at this point might be profitable.
