Why Ethereum Could Lead the Next Altcoin Rally?
The cryptocurrency market has turned bearish in the medium term The price of Bitcoin (BTC) Bitcoin has slipped below $61,000 over the week. Notable outflows from U.S.-based spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) over the past five days have weighed heavily on bullish sentiment.
Friday, Bitcoin ETF recorded its third consecutive day of admissions, with $11.8 million on June 27. Fidelity was +$6.7 million, Bitwise $BITB +$8 million, and ARK $ARKB +$1.8 million. While Grayscale $GBTC saw an outflow of $11.4 million, while BlackRock $IBIT saw 0 movement.
Poppe plans an Altseason, if
According to popular crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe, the altcoin industry is poised to gain bullish momentum against Bitcoin after more than two and a half years. The crypto analyst note that the ETH/BTC pair has shown some resilience in the face of a downtrend.
As a result, Poppe indicated that the price of Ethereum against the US dollar will increase exponentially in the short term, as long as the ETH/BTC pair maintains above 0.05.
In his X jobhe wonders if the next Ethereum ETF will trigger an altcoin season or if altcoins are in decline. He notes the lingering negative sentiment but remains bullish on altcoins, particularly Ethereum, which he includes in his portfolio.
Despite lower expectations for the Ethereum ETF compared to the Bitcoin ETF, he believes the impact could be significant due to Ethereum’s lower stock-to-flow ratio and deflationary nature.
Impact of Cryptocurrency After ETH ETF Approval
He then delved deeper into current market sentiment, which was very negative before the ETF was approved, but Ethereum has since rebounded over 20% against Bitcoin. He argues that if Ethereum rises above 0.06 BTC, it could catalyze a broader altcoin rally, boosting projects within the Ethereum ecosystem like Arbitrum and Optimism.
First, historical cycles often show weak performance of altcoins in the first half of the year, followed by strong momentum and returns starting in June, as shown by Chainlink’s significant gains in previous years.
Second, potential rate cuts from the Federal Reserve and falling Treasury yields could lead to a rapid recovery in Bitcoin once current economic concerns are resolved. He expects this to boost Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the entire crypto ecosystem. Despite the market corrections, van de Poppe remains confident in his investment strategy.
Future prospects
The altcoin industry has already attracted the attention of institutional investors, as demonstrated by the Solana ETP in Canada. Additionally, Bitcoin’s dominance is poised for a major reversal, which will trigger an increased rotation of cryptocurrencies in favor of altcoins.
