Jan Happel and Yann Allemann, co-founders of the data and analytics platform Glassnode, predict that an important catalyst could initiate a strong rally in Bitcoin (BTC). They also warned that the expected rise in altcoins may not occur before the end of the summer.
Jan Happel and Yann Allemann, co-founders of Glassnode, who share the username Negentropic on X (formerly known as Twitter), believe that a drop in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) below 37 will trigger a strong rally in BTC. The RSI, which is scaled between 0 and 100, is typically considered a bullish signal when it falls below 30 and a bearish signal when it surpasses 70.
Highlighting the support level at $28,500 and significant buyer accumulation around it, the co-founders of Glassnode stated, “Bitcoin’s RSI indicates that it could retest the $28,500 bottom level. The RSI has been hovering between 37 and 50 for a while now. A value below 37 in RSI could be a trigger for a strong comeback. Buyers seem to concentrate between $28,500 and $27,800. Could this be the catalyst for the next upward movement?”
As of the time of writing, the largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin is trading at $29,375 with a 0.36% decrease in the last 24 hours. For the crypto king to reach the indicated bottom area at $27,800, it needs to lose approximately 5.5% of its value.
Jan Happel and Yann Allemann, co-founders of Glassnode, who also evaluated altcoins, stated that altcoins can only struggle in the midst of a decline in BTC’s price unless a “surprising catalyst” emerges, and they can only rise after the summer.
In their altcoin analysis, they asked the question, “After BTC’s rise above $30,000 this week, the real question should be whether it can continue. With the exception of altcoins such as Solana (SOL), Toncoin (TON), and Hedera (HBAR), which have gained between 6% and 9% overnight, altcoins are merely struggling. As BTC falls, altcoins feel the pressure deeply. Unless a surprising catalyst emerges, we expect a strong driving force for altcoins after summer.”
