I think ADA is a great buy right now due to the mentioned long consolidation phase but I don't think it will pump anytime soon. It may move a bit in the next few weeks but I think a proper pump (4-5 USD and above) is coming early next year.

Right now, the best options in my opinion (although pretty risky) are gaming coins, gaming launchpads etc. We've seen huge pumps from e.g. Altura or Bloktopia (20x or more in the last few weeks) but I think there are plenty more to come e.g. Star Atlas, Polkacity and many others.
