Trader Says $425,000,000,000 Altcoin Market Cap Likely To Be Broken, Updates Outlook on Bitcoin - The Daily Hodl

A closely followed crypto analyst says the $425 billion resistance level for the altcoin market cap may soon be broken.

In a new strategy session, crypto trader Rekt Capital tells his 535,600 followers on the social media platform X that the OTHERS chart, which depicts the total crypto market cap excluding the top ten coins, may soon have a massive recovery.

He says that the OTHERS retracement from the $425 billion level is shallower than prior breakdowns, suggesting there is now a greater potential for the alt market cap to flip it into support.

“Altcoin market cap has indeed rejected from $425 billion resistance (black). Altcoin market cap has retraced substantially since. However, this is altcoin market cap’s way of producing a shallower retrace to show how $425 billion is weakening as a point of rejection.”

“Since rejecting from $425 billion resistance (black) altcoin market cap has retraced -51%. This is still shallower compared to the previous rejections from ~$425 billion resistance (-69% and -85%). Should altcoin market cap bottom in the near future, then altcoin market cap will have an easier time at breaking beyond the weakened $425 billion resistance over time.”

The analyst also updates his outlook on Bitcoin (BTC), predicting the flagship crypto asset will trade sideways in the near term on the weekly chart.

“Bitcoin revisited the $101,000 level (black). In fact, Bitcoin even daily closed above it, but failed the subsequent post-breakout retest of it into new support BTC is probably going to consolidate between $98,300 and $101,000 for the time being.”
