The seasoned expert accentuates that crypto typically outpaces tech when global liquidity experiences an upturn. Pal expresses bullish sentiment towards altcoins in the foreseeable future. However, he cautions about the complexities and risks associated with selecting smaller altcoin projects.

In a recent newsletter, Pal discussed his optimism about Solana (SOL), a competitor to Ethereum (ETH). He notes SOL’s entry into an upward trend subsequent to breaking out of a bullish pattern—an inverse head-and-shoulders formation. Pal highlights SOL’s remarkable performance, having surged over 475% year-to-date, positioning it as one of the successful core trades at GMI (Global Macro Investor) this year.
