Top Crypto Gainers – Analyst Predictions

Some of the top crypto analysts have mentioned the above biggest crypto gainers today:

Celestia

Leading analyst at BasementDAO @PostyXBT expects $TIA to continue its recent bull run well into 2024 and early 2025.

I think $TIA runs much higher than most expect over the next 18 months or so.

$TIA was listed at Binance on October 31st, briefly trading around the $2 mark before exploding to as high as $17 this week.

Crypto Twitter analyst @grimy_trades expects $TIA to ‘rip’ above $20 and one of the most followed accounts @AltcoinSherpa also thinks the popular coin still has room for continuation to the upside.

$TIA didnt trade this one, took another one instead with SSV. Good moves though IMO. I still think this one has continuation. https://t.co/hYkK71CSSB pic.twitter.com/VnpcrIHhr4

GMT

Another crypto Twitter mainstay Edward Morra is holding a GMT spot bag, charting the price today for his 55k followers – one of which shared analysis from MapleLeafCap that may explain its recent performance.

The crux of his detailed tweet is that $GMT is reversing its historically poor emission dynamic, and he expects the token to revisit $1 and higher to ‘relive’ the Stepn craze of mid 2022.

Sponge

Meme coin Sponge also has announced new roadmap updates, set to bridge its token to an upgraded V2 version and power a P2E crypto game.

Popular crypto YouTube channel Crypto Gains recently posted his forecast for Sponge V2, speculating whether it can 100x as Sponge V1 came close to when it first launched on Uniswap in May 2023.
