Altcoin Market Faces Selling Pressure, Analysts Predict Altseason Ahead
The altcoin market is experiencing significant selling pressure as investors react to the Federal Reserve's delayed rate cuts and declining dollar liquidity. However, analysts remain optimistic about a potential altseason, with the upcoming weeks considered crucial for market direction.
Will Altcoins Continue to Decline?
Major altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Cardano (ADA) have lost 3-4% in the past 24 hours. As Bitcoin's dominance rises, panic selling in the altcoin market persists. While this has sparked concern among investors, some experts believe it is only temporary, citing historical trends of strong rallies following similar market conditions.
According to 10x Research, Bitcoin's weakness could further weigh down altcoins. Additionally, the Federal Reserve's delay in rate cuts and low liquidity are discouraging investors from entering the crypto market. Technical indicators suggest further potential decline for altcoins, though some long-term investors view this as a buying opportunity.
Can Bitcoin Dominance Hit 71%?
Analyst Rekt Capital predicts that Bitcoin's dominance could reach 71%. Historically, altcoin markets have experienced significant rallies when Bitcoin has reached this level. If this pattern repeats, an altcoin surge may be imminent.
However, if Bitcoin's dominance continues to climb, altcoins could face an additional 5-10% decline in the short term. Rekt Capital suggests that the real altcoin rally could begin once Bitcoin's dominance peaks. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $97,320, and its price action in the coming days will play a crucial role in shaping the altcoin market's direction.
Analysts Remain Optimistic About Altseason
Despite the recent declines, market analysts remain hopeful about a major altcoin breakout. The analyst known as Titan of Crypto has identified a cup and handle formation in the altcoin market, a technical pattern associated with strong rallies.
This formation could indicate a significant bull run ahead. The analyst emphasizes that "most investors are not prepared for the next big move," suggesting that altseason may be closer than many anticipate. If this prediction holds true, traders could experience substantial gains. However, uncertainty remains, and investors should closely monitor Bitcoin's dominance and altcoin price movements.
