Despite the recent downturn in the crypto market, many analysts remain optimitic about the future potential of some altcoins.
A prominent analyst predicts that a significant surge in the price of Avalanche (AVAX), one of Ethereum’s major competitors, may be on the horizon.

Kaleo recently noted that Avalanche’s price movements during its initial four years closely resemble those of Ethereum in its early days.
Kaleo suggests that if this trend continues, a price target of $400 for AVAX is within the realm of possibility, despite the coin currently trading at $26.19—a substantial 1,427% increase from its present value.

For Avalanche, its current narrative seems to focus on serving as a launchpad for other layer-one solutions, illustrated by the recent partnerships and project launches it has announced over the past year. Kaleo questions whether Avalanche can maintain this momentum and develop a unique narrative that sets it apart.
The crypto market’s well-known skeptic, Il Capo of Crypto, has once again sounded the alarm—arguing that the worst may still be ahead, even as Bitcoin remains above the $100,000 mark.
