Solana's (CRYPTO: SOL) rally, which spiked at $160 in Thursday trading, prompted traders to foresee further upside for the popular altcoin.

What Happened: Crypto trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio believes that at a later date this cycle will be collectively called the “SOL supercycle.” He states that based on price action, Solana is the only major coin to "rerate materially vs any pair on a high time frame basis."

Crypto expert Peter Brandt highlighted the battle between Solana and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) and noted that the obvious winner is Solana, as it boasts a user-friendly ecosystem and a great foundation. He sees Ethereum as "cumbersome, expensive, and flawed, claims to be decentralized when it's not" and predicts a 100% gain for Solana on Ethereum in the upcoming months.
