Altcoins rise as Bitcoin’s dominance declines
We are seeing notable upside in the altcoin market, while Bitcoin’s dominance appears to be on the decline. Cryptocurrencies like Ether, Cardano and Polkadot are riding this wave, attracting new investments and diversifying cryptocurrency portfolios. Their ability to stay on Bitcoin’s heels speaks volumes about their potential.
Ethereum, for example, has had an impressive run, with its market value rising 15% in two weeks. Total trading volume also increased by 20%, indicating a robust market. Much of this success can be attributed to increased activity in areas such as decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Other coins such as Cardano and Polkadot also enjoyed a decent performance, marking progress of around 13% and 10% respectively.
Altcoins thrive as Bitcoin’s reign wanes
Thanks to such performances, the market is full of optimism, as these are seen as positive signs.
However, it is important to remember that volatility is an integral part of the cryptocurrency market. Keep an eye on market tides, diversify your portfolio and navigate this vibrant market wisely, advise financial experts.
An interesting analysis comes from a trader known as “Trader Tardigrade,” who predicts that altcoins will triple their market value in the coming weeks as they break out of an “inverse head and shoulders pattern.”
Other analysts such as “Yoddha” and “Rekt Capital” predict a record weekly close for altcoin market capitalization from early April 2024 – a significant milestone, if that were to happen. They believe that once the weekly resistance is broken, altcoins will see a significant increase in value.
With Bitcoin’s share declining to 53.9%, there is a theory that suggests capital will soon begin to flow into altcoins, signaling a possible “alternative season.” If this happened, it could transform market dynamics and increase the value of altcoins.
However, Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MN Trading, warns of a correction in the altcoin market, even predicting a rise in total market capitalization to a staggering $15 trillion. This could be attributed to the adoption and increased recognition of altcoins in the global economy. However, like any market, the cryptocurrency market has its fair share of unpredictability and associated risks, advising wise investments and staying updated on market trends.
