Small cap altcoins have been one of the best performers in recent times. Even through the downtrend, these low market cap cryptocurrencies have returned better gains compared to their bigger counterparts like Bitcoin and Ethereum. They have carried this performance into another week as small cap altcoins show their profitability once more by being ahead while the rest of the market suffers.

Small Cap Altcoins Stays In The Lead

The previous week, small cap altcoins had been the only index returning profits while all others have been drowning in losses. It has continued this week as it remains the only index in the green with other indexes languishing in its wake. These small cap altcoins usually boost a small yet tight-knit community of supporters which often explains the consistent gains.

The monthly performances of these indexes are stark when placed side-by-side. For example, the Small Cap Index has been on the rise for the month, reaching as high as 17% in positive returns this month. However, the other indexes which consist of cryptocurrencies with much larger market caps have not been able to record the same returns, all down in the same time period.

This index climbed as high as this after hovering around 0% for the days leading up to March 16th. It was at this point that the Small Cap Index had begun to pick up momentum, becoming the only index in the green.

How The Bigger Indexes Have Performed

Looking at the Bitcoin, Mid, and Large Cap indexes, it is obvious that smaller altcoins have been the best investment in recent times. All of these have remained in the red even after a small recovery that was recorded recently in the market. These indexes have remained below the mark of profit for the better part of the year, making them a less attractive investment option compared to the small cap altcoins.
