What will be the fate of altcoins?
Data from Alts Market Cap Chart shows a neckline of cup and handle pattern. There’s a strong horizontal support lying. This indicates that we can expect a bullish rally for altcoins after the successful retest to the neck-line region.
Altcoins will have their rally when BTC stabilizes and as we see a decrease in BTC dominance in the market. Notice that the above is in line with our previous market analysis on altcoins.
But as a crypto asset buyer or trader, be sure to always trade cautiously regardless of the optimism in the market presently. Always have an approach that allows you to flexibly adjust to market conditions and be prepared for multiple scenarios. Trading is to a large extent about how to manage the odds of the different scenarios. Cheers!
