Traders Holding Both SOL and ETH Is More Logical: Analyst

The cryptocurrency analyst and trader, Pentoshi, shared in an X post yesterday that Solana (SOL) is finally back to where it was a year ago after being greatly out-performed by Ethereum (ETH) during the bear market. In his post, the analyst also shared that it would be illogical for traders to pick either SOL or ETH over the other.

In fact, Pentoshi highlighted the fact that the feud between SOL and ETH traders is unnecessary as, in a bull market, both token’s tend to see their prices rise, while they still have periods where the one outperforms the other. In fact, the analyst believes it could be more profitable for traders to own both altcoins.

Sol greatly out performed in the bull, it was far worse in the bear the entire time. It is now back to where it was a year ago. Holding one or the other for the last 12 months essentially = the same outcome

I like both, so. Own both. The argument of only having one… https://t.co/vt0rvK0cGS pic.twitter.com/4rx5X2e1JS

Holding one or the other will lead to the same outcome, according to the analyst. He also stated that “the argument of only having one over the other is for people who don’t want to make money and just want to be right about something”.

With regards to how the two tokens performed in the past 24 hours of trading, ETH still had the upper hand. At press time, CoinMarketCap data indicated that the altcoin leader saw its price rise by 2.82% since yesterday, which caused its trading value to rise to $1,888.14. This meant that ETH was trading just below its 24 hour high price of $1,895.03.

ETH’s 24 hour trading volume did, however, drop by over 19% throughout the past day, which left it standing at $5,769,223,226. The rise in ETH’s price allowed its market cap to jump to $226,960,966,505.
