The Altcoins are still trapped in a mid-term correction amid the spot ETF bonanza

The wider altcoin market has yet to form a bullish reversal pattern amid the ongoing listings of spot crypto ETFs in the United States. For the XRP price, crypto analyst Ali Martinez believes it may drop as far as $1.9 before rebounding towards its all-time highs.

Bigger Picture

The crypt market has underperformed other major global commodities due to macro backdrop uncertainties. The wider crypto market suffered low fresh capital inflow from whale investors during the longest United States government shutdown, which recently ended. 

With the recent bilateral agreement between China and the United States, among other major economies, global economic activities are expected to surge. Furthermore, the global money supply has been increasing and will accelerate once the Fed’s Quantitative Easing (QE) starts early next month.

As such, market traders are anticipating a fresh crypto bull market in the coming few months, akin to the crypto summer of 2017.
