A closely followed crypto strategist thinks two altcoins unseen by most traders are gearing up for huge upside bursts.

Analyst Ali Martinez tells his 78,600 followers on the social media platform X that he’s bullish on the native asset of the peer-to-peer file storage network Filecoin (FIL).

According to the analyst, FIL looks poised to rally to its range high after respecting its long-term support. Martinez also thinks that FIL could witness exponential rallies if it manages to overcome a crucial resistance level.

“Missed out on the $2.94 entry, but I’m still bullish on Filecoin FIL at this level.

The lower boundary has held strong for almost two years, setting us up for a potential rebound to $9.50 – a 145% gain. If we see a breakout above the upper boundary ($9.50), FIL could reach $30, delivering around 700% upside from here.” 

At time of writing, FIL is worth $4.32, up over 7% in the past day.

The trader is also keeping an eye on NOT, the community token for the popular Telegram-based tap-to-earn mining game Notcoin. Martinez says he’s bullish on NOT after the altcoin shattered the diagonal resistance of a falling wedge structure – a bullish reversal pattern.

“Notcoin NOT broke out of the falling wedge, and its price is projected to increase 76% to $0.012!” 

At time of writing, NOT is worth $0.0076.

A popular crypto strategist is suddenly flipping bullish on an altcoin connected to a viral game on the encrypted messaging platform Telegram.

Analyst Ali Martinez tells his 77,300 followers on the social media platform X that Notcoin (NOT) could soar 100% from its current value.

“Notcoin is showing a promising risk-to-reward setup. With a falling wedge pattern forming, it could be primed for a bullish breakout toward $0.012!”

A falling wedge breakout is a technical analysis pattern that is used to identify bullish reversals in an asset’s price. The pattern is characterized by a series of lower highs and lower lows that form a wedge-shaped pattern on the chart.

As the pattern progresses, the distance between the highs and lows decreases, which indicates that the selling pressure is weakening. When price breaks out of the upper trend line of the wedge, it’s traditionally considered bullish.

NOT is trading for $0.006 at time of writing, up 7.9% in the last 24 hours.

The analyst is also bullish on Ethereum (ETH), suggesting it could soon hit $6,000.

“The risk-to-reward ratio on Ethereum is too good to pass up for a long position! I’ve set my stop below $1,880 and am aiming for a target of $6,000.”

Looking at his chart, the analyst suggests ETH is holding the bottom trend line of the ascending channel as support and could soon re-test the upper bound at around $6,100.

Next up, the analyst suggests that Dogecoin (DOGE) may see an explosive rally, in part, due to billionaire Elon Musk. Musk, one of the memecoin’s most famous supporters, is now close to US President-elect Donald Trump, after playing a role in his election.

The analyst also believes DOGE may repeat a historic pattern based on Fibonacci extensions, which traders use in technical analysis to estimate profit targets and price pullbacks. They are based on Fibonacci ratios.

“With Elon Musk now influencing the 47th President, Donald Trump, Dogecoin could be primed for a wild ride! In past bull cycles, once DOGE broke the 0.50 Fibonacci retracement, it often rallied to the 1.618 or even 2.272 Fib levels. If history repeats, we could see DOGE hit somewhere between $4 and $23!

Dogecoin is trading for $0.1969 at time of writing, up 15% in the last 24 hours.

A recent report commissioned by Elympics, a Web3 gaming protocol, highlighted how Telegram and blockchain technology have transformed the gaming world.

The research report, shared with crypto.news and based on feedback from nearly 1,000 global gamers, shows how platforms like Telegram and the rise of “compete-to-earn” games are driving the adoption of Web3 gaming.

The success of Telegram as a gaming platform was evident in the survey results, with 53.56% of players choosing it as their preferred platform for playing mobile games. This highlights Telegram’s growing influence in the gaming space and its ability to attract a large, engaged player base.

Most respondents, 78.77%, reported playing games daily, while 15.19% indicated they play a few days a week.

With the rise of competitive gaming, the report delved into the impact of blockchain games and their community-driven advances on the gaming industry.

“Our research shows that with the entry of social platforms such as Telegram into the Web3 world and the skill games growth with community-driven money competitions, we are seeing the start of mass adoption by players around worldwide. Gamers enjoy winning through competition so we build games meeting this need.”

Tom Kopera, COO of Elympics

Traditionally, games have been centralized, meaning a company controls the game’s development, design, and rules. In blockchain games, the power is more decentralized—players have more control, and they can own in-game assets that can’t be easily tampered with.

“Blockchain decentralizes the ownership, turning players into investors of time and money into their beloved games.”

Stan Fiedor, General Manager Europe of Wemix

This ownership includes everything from virtual items to characters to NFTs, which are stored on a blockchain and can even be traded outside of the game.

Mass adoption of blockchain games

One of the major points in the report is how these new games can transform mobile gaming. Blockchain-based mobile games offer players the chance to monetize their skills and gameplay, turning a previously passive activity into one with financial rewards.

The report noted that blockchain gaming is on the verge of mass adoption, with “a growing interest from gamers eager to participate,” according to Michał Dąbrowski, CEO of Elympics.

However, the report noted that Web3 gaming is still overcoming skepticism due to the flaws of its earlier versions. Initial blockchain games faced issues like poor design and broken in-game economies. 

According to the survey, the most common reason for not playing blockchain games is uncertainty about how to get started, with 32.11% of respondents citing that they “have no idea how to start.” 

Today, the industry has learned from some of these mistakes, with developers focusing on creating better games with solid economic models that encourage fair play and real ownership of digital assets. Elympics believes that, by adding real-world stakes to gaming, Web3 could be the next big shift in the industry.

TON and Telegram

TON (TON) and Telegram have embraced blockchain to drive engagement and revenue without compromising user trust, the report noted. TON has become a popular hub for hyper-casual games like Notcoin (NOT) and Hamster Kombat, attracting millions of users. 

Telegram’s simplified crypto wallet, automatically integrated for non-US users, eliminates barriers to entry, helping onboard millions of real users effortlessly.

Blockchain games on TON appeal to both casual and competitive gamers, offering a seamless experience that feels no different from traditional Web2 games.

The report concluded that platforms like Telegram are helping to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3, creating an ecosystem where players may not even realize they are engaging with blockchain technology.
