Crypto Earthquake: Altcoins Emerging from the Shadows – Recovery in Sight?

After the carnage that occurred yesterday in the crypto-sphere, bitcoin and altcoins suffered a bitter fall. Investors are holding their breath, hoping for better days. Despite the turmoil, some signs suggest a light at the end of the tunnel, thanks in part to the optimism of some analysts.

Altcoins: Towards an imminent recovery?

The recent crypto market debacle, which notably resulted in a $500 billion plunge, saw altcoins lose footing at critical support levels. The total market capitalization of altcoins fell to almost $150 billion, a threshold not reached since November 2023.

However, crypto analyst Matthew Hyland believes that these digital currencies are preparing for a rebound. According to him, despite the difficult market conditions due to the Japanese market correction and recession fears in the United States, the capitalization of altcoins is stabilizing around $182.1 billion, notes TradingView. This marks a possible recovery phase after significant volatility.

Hyland suggests that the recent decline could be temporary, based on the market’s historical resilience. His tweet even hints at hope: “Maybe a light at the end of the tunnel“.

This optimistic sentiment could encourage investors to maintain their confidence in these digital assets despite recent shake-ups.

Bitcoin’s unwavering dominance and crypto market recovery

While the crypto-sphere is wobbling, Bitcoin remains the flagship with a 58% dominance, in a context where the market is plummeting below $50,000, a low not seen since February.

This paradox is explained by the fact that other major cryptos, like BNB, XRP, Dogecoin, and Cardano, have suffered even larger losses.

Ethereum, for example, plunged below $2,200. However, the situation seems to be improving: the opening of the US market saw significant price increases for BTC, ETH, and SOL.

• Bitcoin (BTC): +10%
• Ethereum (ETH): +12%
• Solana (SOL): +22%

The recovery is partly explained by the introduction of the Spot Bitcoin ETF in the United States, whose trading volume reached $1.3 billion in one hour.

This frantic activity has restored confidence to investors, promoting a market rebound.

Currently, Helium (HNT) stands out with a price increase of more than 10% in 24 hours, while Lido DAO (LDO), based on Ethereum, falls by 19%.

In conclusion, despite the storm, HODLing remains a wise strategy, as shown by the tenacity of whales who hold onto their crypto assets.
