Despite the price fluctuations within the crypto community, there seems to be a growing excitement for an upcoming altcoin season. Traders and analysts have identified several bullish indicators in technical charts, suggesting that smaller-cap cryptocurrencies could experience significant value increases soon.
Is It Time for Altcoins to Rise?
According to the famous trader and analyst Rekt Capital, Bitcoin‘s recent testing of the $315 billion level, which acts as a support for the altcoin market cap, has been persistent.
This outlook, despite market volatility, could be one of the indicators of an approaching bull market, according to some analysts.
Crypto investors generally prefer altcoins due to a higher risk-reward profile and anticipate significant price movements throughout a potential bull market.
Historically, altcoins have tended to follow Bitcoin’s lead, and their value increases have generally been higher than those of Bitcoin.
Market cap charts and Bitcoin dominance are key indicators for analysts predicting when altcoins might enter a bull season.
While most altcoins have faced a correction after reaching their mid-March highs, Bitcoin continues to trade close to its record peak above $70,000.
Analysts continue to closely monitor the Bitcoin dominance chart, which has been above 50% since September 2023 and currently stands at 54.65%.
Analyst Crypto Nova suggests that a change in Bitcoin dominance could generally be an indicator of altcoins being left behind. Although a reversal is not yet definitively established, the sideways movement seen in the chart (below) usually occurs before such a change.
Crypto Nova:
However, speaking generally, the transition from Bitcoin outperformance (BTC dom rising) to altcoin outperformance (BTC dom falling) is becoming clearer and almost certain.
BTC Halving and Beyond
Another crypto analyst, Titan of Crypto, has expressed optimism for another upcoming altcoin season. The analyst suggests that the Ichimoku indicator could potentially hinder Bitcoin dominance, signaling the arrival of an altcoin era.
Titan of Crypto:
I personally believe in another altcoin era. The SSB (Senkou Span B), the strongest line of Ichimoku, will play a major role in blocking Bitcoin dominance and will initiate Altseason2024.
Another renowned analyst, Kevin Svenson, recently told his followers that the altcoin market cap is poised for a significant rise. He also highlights the Bitcoin halving as a historical turning point for altcoin movements.
Svenson:
People often forget… AFTER Bitcoin’s Halving, it’s time for the narrative to shift towards $Alts.
