The leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, has left a blazing trail by smashing through the $72,000 barrier to set a fresh all-time high of $72,764, according to crypto analytics firm Santiment. A telling indicator of a bull market is the awakening of long-dormant Bitcoin wallets, with massive hoards of the digital asset stirring back into circulation. Remarkably, discussions surrounding Bitcoin remain relatively subdued compared to its scorching price action, potentially signaling more upside ahead.
Santiment’s analysis also discovered that the explosion of altcoin prices on Monday resulted from big Bitcoin disposals that took place after it had reached its all-time maximum price. Additionally, Santiment revealed that BTC-related activity soared by 55% while Ethereum’s increased by 60%. This period, often marked by alternative cryptocurrencies outperforming BTC, presents lucrative opportunities for investors to mint millions.
Bitcoin Surge: Beginning Of A New Phase for Altcoins
The famous cryptocurrency analyst “Reflection” therefore went to Twitter in order to excite those who missed the last Bitcoin milestone hope. He reminded them about the highly awaited ‘Altcoin Season,’ which is around the corner. Also, this is a period when alternative coins usually do better than BTC, and it provides a very good situation for people who want to make large amounts of money.
While reflecting upon Bitcoin’s stunning surge, some traders are afraid of rushing in. According to Reflection, however, it is actually the beginning of something new for altcoins. With Bitcoin’s market dominance remaining at 2021 levels, this means there’s still too much money flowing into the flagship asset. In other words, altcoins have yet to start their long way towards their peak.
Historically, bull markets follow a predictable Script: First, Bitcoin leads, then money rotates into Ethereum before the “altseason” frenzy hits maximum speculation in tiny tokens. The first two Acts offer 2-10x gains, but altseason unlocks the potential for 1000x “life-changing” multipliers.
Once BTC’s dominance starts dipping from its 55% perch, Reflection warns prizes will be quickly claimed. To front-run the herd, the strategist outlined 9 low-cap altcoins from prime narratives: meme coins, AI tokens, real-world assets, BRC-20 contracts, and GameFi platforms. However, all eyes are now on whether altseason will indeed materialize and which emerging projects and sectors could capture traders’ imagination this time around.
