Here’s how a $1,000 investment in Cardano (ADA) vs. Solana (SOL) at their 2020 starting prices would look as of May 2, 2025:

Summary

If you’d placed $1,000 into ADA at $0.033585 on January 1, 2020, you’d have bought 29,782 ADA, now worth about $20,983 at $0.7048 per ADA. By contrast, $1,000 invested in SOL at its ICO price of $0.22 on March 24, 2020 would have bought 4,545 SOL, now worth roughly $686,484 at $150.88 per SOL. That’s a 21× return on ADA versus a 686× return on SOL—SOL dramatically outpaced ADA over this period.

 
Return Multiples

ADA: $20,983 / $1,000 ≈ 21×

SOL: $686,484 / $1,000 ≈ 686×

 
Key Takeaways
Solana Win: SOL’s 686× gain vastly outstrips ADA’s 21×, thanks to SOL’s explosive utility growth and early ICO access.
Risk vs. Reward: SOL’s higher volatility and ICO timing presented greater risk but rewarded early investors enormously.
Diversification Lesson: Even a split allocation could have turned $1K into $353K (50% SOL + 50% ADA) rather than $21K from ADA alone.

These moments reveal the value of Elliott Wave analysis.
Bitcoin has followed the micro analysis and has indeed made another low. The decline was sharp, and the market has now reached the higher time frame 78.6 percent retracement, which sits around 83,000 USD. Moves like this can last longer than most people expect, and this is exactly why I repeat so often that we rely on the microstructure. Only when we see a first clear 5 wave move to the upside can we start to talk about a possible reversal. That remains the key point here.

!!! For the first time, the third wave we are tracking (circle wave 5 of wave iii) is technically complete, also on the micro degree. But extensions are always possible. That means there is no meaningful evidence for a bottom as long as the price remains below the green line. Without that break, there is no confirmation of a turn. !!!$SOL

👑 Bitcoin Elliott Wave Update – The Sell-Off Continues: Next Support Levels$BTC
This post is a technical commentary on Bitcoin's recent price action, viewed through the lens of Elliott Wave Theory.
The Core Explanation$FET
The title and content are signaling that Bitcoin's current drop is an expected and normal phase within the Elliott Wave model, specifically the formation of Wave 5.$ZEC
Wave 4 Formed: In a typical impulsive 5-wave move or a larger corrective move, Wave 4 is the complex or choppy pullback that precedes the final move in the direction of the trend. In this context (given the price is falling), Wave 4 was a recent bounce or consolidation that has now finished.
Move to the Downside Appears to be Wave 5: The current sharp drop in price is interpreted as Wave 5. If the overall structure is a correction (e.g., an A-B-C pattern), Wave 5 would be the final, destructive Wave C (which is often labeled as Wave 5 in the corrective sequence). This is typically the most panic-driven part of the correction, designed to scare out retail traders.
"Nothing Unusual... Don't Panic": This is the key message. The analysis is telling traders that the sharp sell-off is not a surprise event (like a Black Swan), but rather a calculated, predictable, final phase of the corrective pattern. It suggests the pain is almost over and the final low is near (likely in the $83,000–$85,000 zone based on the linked data, after having broken below 90,000$.
In short, the post is designed to be a contrarian signal: telling the audience that while the market looks terrifying, the technical roadmap confirms this is the final, anticipated low before a long-term bullish trend can resume.
