- ETH/BTC has recovered higher as analysts forecast an altseason could be likely.
However, the altcoin market showed varied performance and might not rally uniformly.
As an experienced analyst, I’ve seen my fair share of market cycles and trends, including altseasons. While the Ethereum [ETH] ETFs have intensified calls for an altseason, I believe we need to approach this trend with caution.
The demand for altcoins has grown significantly in recent times, and this trend is being fueled further by the introduction of Ethereum [ETH] exchange-traded funds (ETFs). As the frontrunner in the altcoin market, many analysts believe that Ethereum’s price surge serves as a sign of an approaching altcoin boom.
As a researcher studying cryptocurrency trends, I’ve come across an intriguing analysis from a pseudonymous crypto expert named Crypto Nova. According to this expert’s assessment, the Ethereum to Bitcoin (ETH/BTC) ratio was on the verge of experiencing significant growth, potentially leading to a rally in altcoins.
Whenever ETH/BTC experienced price increases, it seemed to trigger growth across the entire altcoin market as well. This trend may recur shortly.
Another analyst, Michael van de Poppe, echoed Nova’s projection and stated,
‘As long as #Ethereum stays above 0.05 BTC, a new trend has started: Upwards.’
For those new to this concept, the ETH/BTC ratio indicates how much one Ethereum (ETH) is worth in terms of Bitcoin (BTC). At the current moment, each ETH equates to approximately 0.055 BTC.
As an analyst, I would interpret a significant increase in the ratio’s value as a sign of Ethereum (ETH) outperforming Bitcoin (BTC), indicating potentially positive trends for ETH and possibly the start of an altcoin season. Conversely, a decrease in the ratio’s value suggests that Ethereum is underperforming relative to Bitcoin, which could be a warning signal.
As a market analyst, I’ve observed an uptick in the ETH/BTC ratio recently, largely driven by growing anticipation surrounding potential Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). Should a spot ETH ETF come to fruition and begin trading, we could witness further value growth for ETH, potentially sparking a positive ripple effect across the altcoin market.
Altseason wasn’t in yet
As a crypto investor, I closely monitor various indicators to gauge market trends and potential alt seasons. One such tool is the Altcoin Season Index (ASI). Recently, I checked the ASI reading, which came in at 37. Based on my understanding of this indicator, a score below 75% implies that we haven’t yet entered an altseason. Specifically, for an altseason to be called, more than 75% of altcoins must have outperformed Bitcoin over the past 90 days.
As a researcher studying the cryptocurrency market, I’ve observed some intriguing differences among altcoins during bull markets. While certain altcoins experienced impressive gains, others faced challenges and underperformed.
As a researcher studying the meme coin market, I’ve observed some intriguing trends. Pepe (PEPE) has been an exceptional performer, consistently hitting new all-time highs this year. On a year-to-date basis, PEPE has surged by an impressive 950%. Dogewhats (WIF) is another meme coin that’s gained significant traction, posting a robust 120% increase over the same time frame.
Despite Ethereum and most other cryptocurrencies showing growth, Ethereum Layer 2 solutions have lagged behind significantly as noted in Deribit’s latest analysis.
“OP, MATIC, and ARB are down 33%, 26%, and 24% respectively. That means that 1 ETH invested in OP at the beginning of the year is only worth 0.4 ETH today. This underperformance is not just due to the ETH ETF, or due to a broader altcoin underperformance’
According to the Deribit analysis, an excess of token releases could be a contributing factor to the relatively subdued results seen in Layer 2 platforms.
‘‘$82m of OP unlocks hit the market; the week before there was nearly the same amount of ARB’
As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed that the performance of alternate Layer 1 (L1) platforms has been quite diverse. Some have performed exceptionally well, such as TON with a gain of over 197% and NEAR with nearly 100%. However, others like APT and AVAX have underperformed.
A rise in the Ethereum to Bitcoin ratio could favorably impact some alternative coins over others. In other words, not every altcoin may experience gains during such an event.
