These altcoins could yield double-digit gains in the alt season

After price rallies for the Ethereum-killer Cardano and XRP, crypto market participants are hunting for the next altcoin that yields double-digit gains overnight. Cosmos Hub’s ATOM token has yielded between 118% to 175% gains in similar trade setups for holders between February 2021 and December 2022. 

Sheldon, a YouTuber at Crypto Banter and a crypto analyst, identified these trade setups and marked them in the chart below, predicting the next massive surge in ATOM price against Ethereum.
