A popular crypto analyst is predicting significant gains for one Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution, forecasting a potential surge of over 200%.
Michaël van de Poppe suggests that Optimism (OP), a competitor to Polygon (POL), could reach a new all-time high (ATH) by early next year, provided it holds key support levels.
Volatility is increasing.$OP has tested the crucial resistance, but dropped more than 20% in the past few days.
If there’s another test at $1.80-1.90, then I expect we’ll break upwards and have an ATH test in January. pic.twitter.com/nPNfm0Awxx

Van de Poppe notes that while OP has recently faced a 20% drop, it is testing critical resistance zones.
He anticipates that if Optimism can retest the $1.80-$1.90 range, it could break upward and challenge its ATH of $4.84 by January, representing a 214% increase from its current value of $1.54.
Turning to Bitcoin (BTC), the analyst believes the leading crypto could potentially hit $100,000 by the end of the week.
