- The Altcoin market saw a short period in which the Bitcoin surpassed
- Downend tether reserves pointed to reduced purchasing power in the market
Bitcoin’s [BTC] Power to $ 107.1k, just a stone’s throw from the ATH for $ 108.8k, meant that the crypto market sentiment was firm bullish. In one Post on XFounder and CEO of Alphractal Joao Wedson noted how sentiment could be a double -edged sword.
Such a strong sentiment can indicate the influx of new capital into the cryptomarket.
Enthusiastic bulls, however, have to temper their expectations. Especially since long -term periods of high bullish conviction tend to mark market picks and catch the bulls.
How good are the Altcoins Fieren?

Altcoins Amok ran for a period of five days. This was demonstrated by the fall of the Bitcoin Dominance, as well as the fast walk of the total2, which will be investigated below. The BTC.D had tested the 62% area as a resistance in February and March, and this zone convincingly convincingly broken in April.
After reaching a local highlight of 65.38%, it fell to 61.89%. This decrease in the BTC.D implied that the market hood of the Altcoin grew faster than BTC.
In the past five days, however, Bitcoin Dominance has been restored to a sign that a fully-fledged Altcoin season was not in the game.

The Altcoin market capitalization excluding Bitcoin saw a retest of the $ 1.17 trillion-mark. Just like the BTC.D, the total2 can also be subject to technical analysis. We can even see that the Altcoin market capitalization was on an upward trend, but Storte had resistance near the Highs of February.
A movement then $ 1.31 trillion will interfere altcoin investors.
The Tether Reserve Metric, however, flashed a warning signal. If the most popular Stablecoin in the market, a walk in USDT reserves would imply a higher purchasing power in the market. In other words, it would be accompanied by strong bullish market conditions.
The tether reserves have been taken since mid -March. This reflected reduced purchasing power, at a time when BTC hit almost old and new Aths. The last time that such a decline of tether reserves took place was back in June-July 2024.
In just over a month, the Altcoin market capitalization $ 275 billion – a marking of 23.5% at that time. The Altcoin MCAP has fallen by 30%from February to April. Finally, it seemed unclear whether the Tether reserves would continue to fall – an interesting factor to keep an eye on.
