Crypto Market Cap at Critical Resistance, Is Altcoin Season Around The Corner?

Listen to Article

Crypto bulls have been dominating the price action as of late, with many altcoins posting 100% or more gains since they reached their bear market bottoms. It’s caused many traders and analysts to agree that an alt season has been upon us.

However, a massive Bitcoin rally halted alt season in its tracks, but it’s since resumed now that Bitcoin made it through resistance at $5,350 that had appeared to keep the rest of the market at bay.

Altcoins Rebound Following Bitcoin’s Latest Bullish Move

Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto market have experienced strong gains since the start of 2019, and is showing no signs of slowing. After a recent powerful rally, BTC made a quick consolidation pause between $4,800 and $5,200 before continuing on its journey back toward $6,000.

As Bitcoin price consolidated, altcoins suffered. The correlation between Bitcoin and alts is fickle – occasionally alts fall while Bitcoin climbs, while other times they rally alongside their older crypto brother.

Now that Bitcoin has broken through resistance at $5,350, the alt season that had the crypto space irrationally exuberant once again seems to be getting a second wind.

Of the top ten cryptocurrencies by market cap, Cardao (ADA) is the clear winner, with an over 7% gain on the day thus far relative to Bitcoin’s 3% gain. EOS is close behind it, with a 4.77% surge. The rest of the top ten experienced between 2 and 3% gains on the low and high end of things, as alts like Ripple, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Stellar all remained relatively stable.

The price action lower down the list of top cryptocurrencies is where the resurgence of alt season is going strong, with Repo Coin – a blockchain for repossessing automobiles – painting a nearly 75% gain on the day. Right above it is Lambda, which is currently enjoying a 50% rally.

Today’s top gainer, according to CoinMarketCap, is RealTract, which has more than doubled in value, with over a 165% gain in the last 24 hours. Gains like this are virtually unheard of in traditional markets without leverage.

BTC Dominance Continues to Keep Major Alts At Bay

While Bitcoin was close to breaking below 50% dominance, it has since risen 1% and is showing signs of strength. BTC dominance is regularly used to gauge the health of the altcoin market in comparison with Bitcoin.

I know the total market cap shouldn't be used for TA but it shows that the alt spring might be close to be over. I might re-enter the alt market once it bounces on that blue area #Crypto pic.twitter.com/lCJnn29PbB

Most traders don’t put much weight in applying technical analysis to Bitcoin dominance charts, but it’s clear that a strong break below 50% would cause altcoins to skyrocket, while Bitcoin remains relatively stable. However, if Bitcoin continues its bullish momentum, dominance should only rise, causing altcoins to bleed out their recent value increases as investors take profits back into Bitcoin via altcoin trading pairs.

If the latest price action in the crypto market is anything to go by, Bitcoin gets the final say over if alt season continues.

I'm Tony Spilotro. Behind the pseudonym, I'm a digital media executive and global remote work leader with a decade of content experience and excellent. Here, I explore my newfound passions pertaining to privacy, finance, economics, politics, cryptography, property rights, and other libertarian-esque views. I am a Bitcoin evangelist, maximalist, and educator whenever I can be, helping to spread its message of freedom from government control, monetary policy mismanagement, and passing the buck - literally – to future generations. My journey from a curious retail crypto investor to a serious Bitcoin advocate, trader, and technical analyst is an unusual one, but life-changing nonetheless and has become less about money and more about a long-overdue revolution. While a firm believer in the laws governing math and science, I am profoundly fascinated by the impact of astrology and astronomy including moon and solar cycles and planetary alignment and their ability to influence and potentially predict markets. It hasn't yet clicked for me as to how to put anything to use, but I consider it my current rabbit hole I can't yet dig out of. My perspective of growing up alongside the internet, the dot com era, the Great Recession, and roots in video games collecting coins and rare items caused Bitcoin to immediately make sense to me. Through all of these lenses, I seek to produce content that is educational and entertaining, and I thank you sincerely for taking the time to read what I have to say. Please follow me on Twitter and feel free to drop me a line if you would like to work together.
