Crypto markets are notorious for grinding sideways at the exact moment sentiment becomes bearish, then shooting off higher when no one is looking. That’s the key thesis from market commentator “WaveRunner,” who asserts both Solana and Cardano have printed textbook late-stage corrections and are set to break out their strongest leg higher.
Behind headline forecasts lies an even more bullish thesis: small-cap payment token Remittix can out-run them all as capital turns into real-world-utility plays.
Coiled springs or cycle tops?
WaveRunner’s Elliott Wave chart of Solana plots a five-wave impulse that peaked near $210 in March, followed by the exact 38 percent retracement typical of a macro-cycle wave-four.
The same mark is observed on Cardano, whose rally above $0.75 hit a corrective ABC that broke through the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement at $0.69. The analyst sees both patterns as “capitulation of sellers, not buyers,” indicating cycle highs have been marked and a new wave-five melt-up is imminent.
Supporting evidence is from open interest futures, which fell by 45 percent on Solana since March and spot cold storage positions rose. On-chain signals show Cardano had $20 million worth of ADA removed from exchanges in just the last week of April. Historically, this kind of supply consumption was followed by 300 percent or higher rallies in previous cycles.
A grand bull market thesis
Why might a broader boom be next? Macro liquidity appears to be returning to risk. The Federal Reserve’s latest balance-sheet release shows the first net addition in six months and dollar liquidity measures such as the FRA/OIS spread have narrowed. Add in Bitcoin’s recent run to new highs and you have the old ignition mixture for altcoins.
WaveRunner predicts Solana reclaiming $210 come midsummer, then overcoming psychological resistance at $300 to test $450 in Q1 2026. For Cardano, his chart suggests $1.50 as a first objective, within reach should Minataur’s stable-coin staking launch draw institutional flows Charles Hoskinson has promised in recent X Spaces.
Those levels would leave both chains back in price-discovery mode, ideal hunting grounds for aggressive momentum funds.
Cardano upgrades seal the case
Cardano fundamentals affirm the bullish case. Minataur’s stacking protocol for stable-coins, as testified by Hoskinson, will allow depositors to leave USDA, USDC or DJED in the network in exchange for real-time-adjusted yields.
Meanwhile, Begin Wallet’s connection with Liquid Labs already yields up to 21 percent annual returns on blue-chip dollar tokens all without ever leaving Cardano’s Layer 1. If double-digit yields in a single click can now be delivered by mainstream investors, ADA then competes directly with TradFi income products on a risk-reward basis.
Developers are fighting back: weekly GitHub commits to Cardano reached a twelve-month high in April, and the Hydra scaling team just deployed a significant testnet patch that lowers state-channel settlement times to sub-second levels. Collectively, the network no longer resembles a languid academic exercise and is more like a maturing yield hub.
Remittix: upside torque the majors can’t deliver
Macro cycle calls notwithstanding, WaveRunner’s most contentious selection is Remittix (RTX). The payment-focused token allows users to beam BTC, ETH, SOL or XRP directly into a bank account in forty countries within less than ten minutes, using local liquidity partners instead of outdated SWIFT rails.
With RTX trading at around $0.0757 and more than $14.6 million already earmarked for settlement pools, every new corridor generates revenue that is translated into token buy-backs and burn cutting supply while rewarding holders with fee distributions.
There are 529 million tokens in circulation, developers claim, but average daily transfers are 60 percent month-on-month higher since February. One of Latin America’s payroll startups put all its contractor pay stack onto Remittix after cutting cross-border fees by 70 percent.
If the trend continues, Messari analysts estimate RTX’s potential in terms of being able to capture one-half of one percent of the $190 trillion global payments market in four years. Even a small fraction of that estimate would propel RTX into top-20-asset status returns that dwarf anything Solana or Cardano can aspire to provide from their current multi-billion-dollar pedestals.
Portfolio takeaway
Few bull markets crown one champion; rather, they crown categories. Solana’s speedy DeFi engine, Cardano’s yield-oriented DeFi overhaul and Remittix’s real payment rails each serve distinct segments of value flow.
WaveRunner’s approach is therefore not maximalist but diversified: build a core of conviction in large-cap stocks such as SOL and ADA, then add asymmetric bets such as RTX for torque. If the macro climate does unleash another wave of speculation, that three-pronged approach might convert a steady profit into a generational bonanza.
With cycle formations in line, network improvements hitting and off-chain usefulness exploding, the stage seems set. Whether or not Remittix is the breakout sensation, one lesson is certain: exposures managed with discipline in innovation, infrastructure and income are the way investors enjoy a grand bull safely and avoid watching the next crypto-rocket takeoff in the stands.
