Analysts attributed the crash to Mt. GOX anticipated sell offs and the German government’s BTC dumping. Meanwhile, altcoins are back to their 2024 origin, as the post below suggests.
#Altcoins have shown us so many ups and downs. If you’re here long enough, you already have gone through so many crashes too.
Treat this one no differently. It’s here to transfer the wealth from weak hands to strong hands.

Bitcoin’s dominance in the cryptocurrency market has been a topic of debate. Although many investors are bullish, the data tells a different story.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s market dominance hovers around 53.9%. This signals that investors are not very confident about buying BTC.
Most of the top-10 altcoins have underperformed against Bitcoin throughout 2019 and beyond. Lessons learned from the ICO craze of 2017/18 seem to have influenced investor behavior.
The rise of Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs) has shifted fundraising dynamics. However, Bitcoin remains the focal point for institutional investment.
Altcoin Recovery Prospects
Historically, altcoins struggle when Bitcoin’s dominance surpasses 70%. On the other side, the altcoin market thrives when as Bitcoin’s dominance reduces.
BTC volume is trading at $57,765 having increased by 2.33% or $1,313 in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, analysts predict the price of BTC could reach $79K in the next one month.
On the other hand market sentiment suggests a surge in altcoin values. This is driven by Bitcoin’s diminishing dominance. Altcoins like Phantom, Filecoin, and Cosmos are poised for explosive growth but Ether (ETH) leads the charge.
Additionally, the listing of spot ETH ETFs could further boost altcoin prices. Bitcoin’s resurgence above $56,000 is a positive sign for the entire crypto market. Altcoins may face headwinds, but some could still ride the wave of recovery.
