Analyst Jamie Coutts Says Fourth Quarter Could ‘Get Wild’ for Crypto, Updates Outlook on Solana Rival Sui

Real Vision analyst Jamie Coutts believes that the crypto market could finish out the year with strong rallies.

Coutts says that the TOTAL3 chart on the weekly timeframe appears to be breaking out of a descending trend line and printing a bull reversal pattern.

The TOTAL3 chart tracks the market capitalization of all crypto assets excluding Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and stablecoins.

“Zoom out on the weekly log chart:

  • Total market cap excluding BTC and ETH, aka ‘Alts,’ are breaking out.
  • Total market cap excluding BTC and ETH/Total market cap is basing.

Crypto Q4 could get wild.”

Looking at his chart, the analyst suggests that TOTAL3 is breaking out from a rounding bottom pattern. The technical formation is often viewed as a bullish reversal pattern as it indicates that investors have accumulated the asset without allowing the price to move lower.

Next up, Coutts says there are reasons to be long-term bullish on Solana (SOL) competitor Sui (SUI), including the fact that the layer-1 (L1) project received a massive inflow of capital in 2024.

“Crypto capital flows are favoring Sui. Sui’s net flows this year hit $737.6 million, second highest among Alt-L1s after Solana’s $1.1 billion. On a relative basis Sui’s inflows are 18% of its market cap, while Solana’s are 2% – a 9x difference! Ethereum leads outflows across the crypto ecosystem, mainly to L2s (layer-2s), but some capital is spilling over to other L1s. Sui is the top recipient, with 92.9% of its inflows bridged from Ethereum and 5.3% from Solana. Net flows are akin to a blockchain network’s capital account – increasing net flows signals competitiveness and confidence, much like a nation’s capital markets.

A tenuous analogy: Ethereum is the US (property rights, the rule of law, deepest capital market), Solana is China (rapid growth, more centralized, degen traders), and Sui is the up-and-coming player, like South Korea or Singapore in the 2000s. It’s got the tech but is still building its capital markets and diversifying its economy.”

Sui is trading for $1.68 at time of writing, down 2.1% in the last 24 hours. With a market cap of $4.5 billion, Sui is the 28th largest crypto project.

Crypto market ‘dramatically underestimates’ bullishness of spot Bitcoin ETFs

Image
“It’s reckless not to aggressively accumulate BTC at current levels,” K33 senior analyst Velte Lund said in a recent report. The potential of a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval to drive prices up is dramatically underestimated by the crypto market , claim analysts from crypto research firm K33 — formerly Arcane Research.  In a Sept. 5 market report, K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde and vice president Anders Helseth said the last three months had greatly improved the chances of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval despite the sentiment not being reflected in the price of Bitcoin or other mainstay crypto assets. The analysts explained while Bitcoin had all but given up its gains in the wake of Grayscale’s legal victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission — an approval would “attract enormous inflows” and significantly increase buying pressure for Bitcoin. Bitcoin returned its gains in the wake of Grayscale's victory. Source: K33 Research However, the downside of ...

Crypto Bias Blocks People from Seeing Coinbase as Goldman 2.0: Bitwise CEO

In a recent tweet, Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management, shared his frustration with the poor attention given to the US-based crypto, Coinbase, claiming that people are “sleeping” on the crypto business. Horsley argued that while big banks like Goldman Sachs attempt to avoid a “slow death” by investing in technology, APIs, and retail services, Coinbase has already achieved what many banks strive to attain. He points out that the exchange has an exceptional institutional team with 25% of the most significant hedge funds as clients, over 50% institutional volume, and a suite of first-class tech products. The Bitwise CEO also claimed that Coinbase co-invented the USDC payment rail, facilitating $2 trillion in transfers in 2022 Q4 alone. Rant — People are sleeping on Coinbase. Big banks like GS are working to avoid slow death by getting into technology, APIs (Apple deal), more retail services (Marcus), while grappling with the heft of legacy biz, rate exposure, ...
