Top Crypto News Today-Altcoin Market Closer to a Breakout, Will BTC Rally be Sluggish?

 Bitcoin bulls appear to have become extremely passive as they are unable to mount the buying pressure required to rise & sustain above $24,000. Meanwhile, the top altcoin Ethereum has been displaying immense strength by trading close to the crucial resistance at $1650.

The market cap of the second-largest crypto has surged beyond $200 billion despite the global market capitalization witnessing a minor pullback of nearly 1.19% in the past 24 hours. 

As the BTC prices appear to have stuck within narrow ranges, the market capitalization of the altcoins is approaching crucial levels. The possibilities of a bullish breakout are constantly flashing that may begin a fresh bullish wave of several altcoins in the short term. 

The altcoin market cap maintained a descending trend for the past 6 months and faced constant rejection from the trend line. Presently, the levels are again testing the crucial resistance, displaying a higher probability of a breakout.

Previously, the levels faced rejection as the resistance collided with the crucial 200-day MA, but presently, the market cap has surged beyond these levels and hence points towards a bullish breakout in the coming days. 

Therefore, once the daily close is recorded above the trend line, then a significant upswing may kick in. This may ignite another 7% to 17% growth in the total altcoin market cap securing the levels above $700 billion. If the rally materializes, then the global market capitalization excluding Bitcoin may hit $1 trillion, validating the peak of the Altseason 2023.
