Bitcoin Chillin'? Altcoins Are About to Go Wild!
Yo, Gen Z and Millennials! Bitcoin's taking a breather after hitting new highs, but the crypto world? It's blowing up with altcoins. Ready to catch this wave of gains?
Bitcoin (BTC), the OG crypto, is in a chill phase, staying steady above its EMA50 and EMA200. This "break" for Bitcoin is basically the green light for altcoins to take over, and they're going on an insane run. Bitcoin's dominance (BTC.D) has dipped to 63.52% according to CRYPTOCAP, meaning serious cash is flowing into these other coins. This started back on June 27, when BTC.D was at 66.03%.
Bitcoin (BTC.D) dominance has slipped, reaching 63.52% according to data from CRYPTOCAP / TradingView.
Why Are Altcoins Pumping?
A few big things are lining up to make these altcoins go parabolic:
Bitcoin's Ripple Effect: Bitcoin hitting fresh all-time highs has hyped up the entire crypto market, getting investors stoked to check out other options.
Tariff Troubles? Nah: Those worries about US tariff policy are fading, and that's making people hungry for riskier assets, including crypto.
Inflation's Cooling Down: This week's Producer Price Index (PPI) data totally surprised everyone. The PPI MoM came in at 0%, way lower than the 0.2% expected and last month's 0.3%. Lower inflation could mean the Fed eases up on interest rates sooner than expected. Historically, that's bad for the dollar but great for crypto.
Is "Altcoin Season" About to Hit?
Even though Coinmarketcap's Altcoin Season Index is at 36/100 (meaning Bitcoin's run ended on July 8), things are looking pretty sweet. We're not officially in a full-blown "Altcoin Season" yet, but more and more altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin over the last 90 days.
Some of the altcoins that have been absolutely crushing it with insane gains over the past 90 days include: PENGU (+568.67%), MOG (+316.19%), SPX (+307.91%), VIRTUAL (+210.89%), BONK (+202.58%), WIF (+187.46%), HYPE (+186.30%), AAVE (+135.89%), AERO (+133.88%), and DEEP (+132.14%).
Bitcoin taking a break has totally cleared the way for altcoins to shine. With good economic vibes and folks feeling more adventurous with their money, the crypto scene is loaded with epic opportunities beyond just Bitcoin. Keep your eyes peeled!
