Continued Bitcoin Correction Could Cause Lead to Altcoin Market Double Bottom

Continued Bitcoin Correction Could Cause Lead to Altcoin Market Double Bottom
Advertisement

The start of 2019 saw Bitcoin, altcoins, and the total crypto market cap all reaching their “bottom,” and have all since risen USD in value by 100% or more.  But at the start of April, Bitcoin continued to rally while altcoins have only bled out and capitulated, falling most sharply in their ratios against Bitcoin.

Bitcoin has now begun to correct, yet altcoins haven’t regained any lost ground and instead have only fallen further. One crypto analyst believes that sustained correction in Bitcoin could cause the altcoin market to double-bottom, suggesting altcoins will retest previous lows not seen since the start of the year.

Altcoin Double-Bottom Ahead if Bitcoin Correction Continues

Ever since Bitcoin reached $13,800 it has been struggling to regain the bullish momentum that caused a parabolic rally out of bear market lows. The leading crypto asset by market cap has been on a strong climb since early April, that’s devoured all of the capital in the crypto market, causing crypto investors to dump their alt holdings into Bitcoin in fear of missing out on the bull run ahead.

But since it started correcting, altcoins have failed to recapture any lost value, and are only dropping further. Crypto analyst Dave the Wave, in his latest analysis, has shared a chart comparing Bitcoin price action alongside the altcoin market cap.

The two price lines show a clear divergence in momentum, with the altcoin market cap beginning to tilt downward, while Bitcoin points upward and is starting to show some indecision.

If momentum and sell pressure continues to push altcoins to the downside, the analyst says that “alts could easily double bottom.”

Alt Gains Now At Parity With BTC, Total Market Cap to Correct

Making matters worse, the total crypto market cap which includes both Bitcoin and altcoins, appears to be forming a head and shoulders top – a bearish reversal pattern which if confirmed would also confirm the analyst’s theory of a double bottom.

Considering the sentiment around altcoins versus Bitcoin, the alternative digital assets would be the likeliest candidate to suffer the most additional correction. This would also fall in line with other analyst theories, such as the long-term altcoin market cap “channel” showing another 50% drop ahead, before any chance of an “alt season” occurring.

Many altcoins are still down 90% or more from their previous all-time highs, and may never reach another all-time high even if Bitcoin reaches $100,000. Dave the Wave also shared another chart, depicting how the crypto hype bubble finally inflating has brought Bitcoin and altcoins back to “parity” in terms of returns, with each market reaching over 1000x in gains.

Since April 2017 [when the spike in Crypto really got going], BTC has come back to 'parity' with the alts. BTC and the alt market cap are both showing gains of just over 1000%. pic.twitter.com/EjKspBo2V6

— dave the wave (@davthewave) August 9, 2019

When considering the fundamental value of Bitcoin, versus a market of crypto assets that have little-to-no use case, are 90% below their all-time highs, and the sentiment is in the gutter, further drop from “parity” with Bitcoin doesn’t seem surprising.

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.
