Renowned crypto strategist Michaël van de Poppe predicts an upcoming altcoin rally that could be sparked by a Bitcoin (BTC) breakout. Van de Poppe keeps a close eye on the OTHERS.D chart, which shows the market capitalization percentage that ranks among the major altcoins in the cryptocurrency market.
According to the analyst, OTHERS.D may experience a short-term dip as Bitcoin is expected to cross $30,000 before altcoins can participate in the rally. Van de Poppe believes the time is drawing near for altcoins as Bitcoin’s value fluctuates and is about to bounce back.
Anticipating Altcoin Surge: Key Levels to Watch
Van de Poppe’s chart suggests that 8.66% and 7.02% could be potential bounce areas for OTHERS.D. At the time of writing, OTHERS.D is hovering at 8.91%. The analyst also notes that Ethereum (ETH) is showing bullish signals with consistently higher lows, which could lead to a rapid price increase in the event of a breakout.
The Impact of Bitcoin on Altcoins and Ethereum
Van de Poppe explains that Bitcoin’s substantial movement is likely to be followed by Ethereum and other major cryptocurrencies. As Bitcoin’s technicals remain stable, it continues to trade above the 50-day exponential moving average, a crucial support level around USD 27,500. This level created significant resistance for Bitcoin throughout the week. However, closing candles above $27,500 increases the likelihood of a bullish reversal for the leading cryptocurrency, while anything below $26,850 could spell trouble.
The potential breakout of Ethereum
Van de Poppe predicts that if Ethereum breaks the $2,150 resistance level, it could experience rapid expansion into the $2,700 to $2,800 range. The analyst claims that Bitcoin will come first, followed by Ethereum and other major cryptocurrencies joining the uptrend.
At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $1,861, while Bitcoin is valued at $27,851. Crypto enthusiasts and investors are closely watching these market movements, anticipating the potential altcoin explosion and its impact on the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
