Former Goldman Sachs executive Raoul Pal believes that a period of sustained uptrend is coming for Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) and the rest of the crypto market.<\/p>\n In a new interview with crypto trader Scott Melker, the macro guru points out that historically, risk assets like Bitcoin and crypto tend to witness rallies during Q4 of a presidential election year.<\/p>\n \u201cLook, the backend quarter of an election year is true banana zone for all assets. It always is. So you know that you\u2019ve got a very, very, very high probability that by autumn things are utterly ripping. <\/em><\/p>\n I mean, how long before ETH, Bitcoin [and] SOL break their recent highs? It could be two weeks. It could be two months. It doesn\u2019t really matter, but then it accelerates.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Earlier this year, Pal said<\/a> that politicians tend to \u201chand out candy\u201d in the form of stimulus packages during elections, which leads to higher inflation and in turn, higher prices for digital assets.<\/p>\n At time of writing, Bitcoin is worth $64,500.<\/p>\n Looking closer at Solana (SOL<\/a>), Pal shares a chart indicating that the altcoin appears to be respecting its diagonal support while trading in a triangle structure.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you wanted a cheeky top-up of your SOL position, this would likely be a good entry zone\u2026 let\u2019s see! The bananas are slowly ripening\u2026but should be magnificent in the autumn.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n A triangle structure is often seen as a continuation pattern that tends to resolve in the direction of the prevailing trend. Based on Pal\u2019s chart, he appears to suggest that SOL remains in an uptrend.<\/p>\n At time of writing, Solana is worth $134.72.<\/p>\n
