Bitcoin Rally Sustains While Investors in Other Crypto Assets Continue To Suffer

Bitcoin Rally Sustains While Investors in Other Crypto Assets Continue To Suffer
Advertisement
Listen to Article

Last night, Bitcoin broke back above $6,000 across the crypto market, and to many, it’s a signal that the bottom is “in” and the bear market is now a lingering memory.

While the leading cryptocurrency by market cap has nearly doubled since its 2018 low, the rest of the crypto market continues to bleed out, with most altcoins setting new lows in their ratios relative to BTC. With Bitcoin at an inflection point, and much of the market in disbelief, analysts are torn as to whether altcoins like Ethereum and Ripple will continue to plummet, or are an attractive buy at this level.

Crypto Investors Focused on Altcoins Continue to Be Swatted By Bears

How many different crypto assets do you currently hold?

(Including BTC and all altcoins)

In a recent Twitter poll, it was revealed that the average large majority of crypto investors are diversified across two to nine coins, which may or may not include Bitcoin. Only 16 percent of crypto investors responding to the poll claimed to be holding only Bitcoin, suggesting that only a small subset of crypto investors have experienced relief during the current Bitcoin rally.

While Bitcoin has nearly doubled in value since its 2018 low, altcoins have continued to suffer relative to their price in BTC. Much of the altcoin market is paired with BTC on exchanges, causing Bitcoin to have a powerful impact on the price of these other crypto assets.

Prior to Bitcoin breaking through $4,200 at the start of the April rally, altcoin growth had been closely correlated with the first ever cryptocurrency. Many were calling for an “alt season” – a period where altcoins experience extreme growth relative to BTC.

However, following that break of resistance, altcoins have been decimated through an inverse relationship with Bitcoin. The relationship between BTC and altcoins is fickle, with alts sometimes pumping when Bitcoin grows, and other times dumping violently while Bitcoin climbs.

The promise of alt season now has become a running joke across the crypto industry. However, such a decoupling may be a healthy sign for the crypto market, as YouTube personality Tone Vays and crypto entrepreneur Vinny Lingham say it is needed for a full blown Bitcoin bull run to begin once again.

Will Altcoins Set New Lows Or Rebound if Bitcoin Can Hold $6K?

As many altcoins, such as Ethereum, Ripple, and Stellar reach new lows in their BTC ratios, analysts are torn if these price levels present a strong buying opportunity, or are due to set even more extreme lows.

With BTC all up in this resistance, alt coins are starting to look attractive again.

— MAGIC (@MagicPoopCannon) May 9, 2019

Bitcoin dominance is now at an 18-month high, and a rebound across the altcoin market is expected if Bitcoin can hold at levels around $6,000. Should Bitcoin fall further, it could cause most altcoins to fall off a cliff and see their ratios relative to BTC plummet further.

Key levels across the board. If $BTC holds, expect a rebound, if not, see you at the next levels #ctypto

— Trading Room (@tradingroomapp) May 9, 2019

If altcoins do rebound, they have a lot of catching up to do if crypto investors that aren’t Bitcoin maximalists are ever to get some relief.

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.
