Crypto Market Crash: Top Altcoins Might See 30% Drop in Next 10 Days, Here’s Why

Published by

The crypto market experienced a rollercoaster week, with significant developments affecting various coins. The Red Coin (RWE) reached unprecedented levels, while altcoins showed signs of weakening after a bullish year. The surge in meme coin hype and the emergence of the FOMC contributed to this volatility, leaving traders and investors in a state of emotional turmoil. 

Let’s analyze the red crypto market. 

Impact of Meme Coins

In a recent podcast, Crypto Banter pointed out how meme coins negatively impact the crypto market. They’ve delayed the expected rise of altcoins by attracting investments away from genuine projects. This focus on memes has raised concerns about a possible scenario where clearing out meme coins becomes crucial for altcoins to recover. The analyst argues that removing meme coins is essential for letting projects with real-world applications succeed in the market.

When to Buy: Bitcoin or Altcoin?

The analyst recommended focusing on long-term portfolios and good entry points, highlighting the Bitcoin Rainbow Chart as a tool to identify investment opportunities when the market is oversold. The chart categorizes market conditions, advising accumulation in the light green zones, buying in the blue zones, and recognizing fire sale opportunities in the dark blue zones.

If Bitcoin collapses, altcoins may capitulate because of its dominance. The analyst is bullish about Bitcoin long-term despite short-term volatility. Bitcoin’s dominance means that altcoins may suffer in the short term but rebound quickly when the market rebounds.

Injective Protocol (INJ)

Currently trading around $20, INJ is facing significant downward pressure with a potential further decline indicated. Investors are advised to wait for clearer signs of market stability before considering entry points.

Fantom (FTM)

FTM has flattened near its support levels, suggesting a potential further drop to around $0.55 to $0.50. This presents a cautious buying opportunity for those looking to accumulate at lower prices once market conditions stabilize.

Immutable X (IMX)

IMX remains stable at lower levels amidst the broader market downturn. Accumulation strategies could be considered as IMX shows resilience, albeit with ongoing market volatility affecting sentiment.

Chainlink (LINK)

LINK is currently losing support around $12, with potential buy zones identified at $12 and $10. Investors should monitor closely for any signs of reversal or confirmation before entering positions.

Polkadot (DOT)

DOT is approaching critical support levels near $4.5, indicating a cautious outlook. Investors are advised to exercise patience and await stronger market signals before considering new positions.

With the current market uncertainty, many are wondering about the future of cryptocurrencies in 2024 and whether investing in altcoins is wise for the upcoming bull run.
