Key Points

  • Bitcoin’s price volatility has decreased, providing a potential opportunity for altcoins to gain prominence.
  • The Altcoin Season Index suggests a market shift in favor of altcoins may be imminent.

Bitcoin [BTC] investors have been eagerly awaiting the cryptocurrency’s rise to $100k. However, the wait has been long and recent developments suggest that altcoins may take the spotlight in December 2024.

Bitcoin’s Dominance on the Decline

Bitcoin has been hovering around the $96k mark for several days, leading to a significant decrease in its price volatility. This has resulted in a major shift in the market. Crypto analyst, Captain Faibik, recently shared a tweet indicating that Bitcoin’s dominance has been following a rising wedge pattern since the start of 2022.

This pattern broke recently, but in a downward direction, suggesting a potential rise for altcoins. Captain Faibik even speculated about a possible altcoin season in 2024-2025.

Potential Altcoin Season

The decrease in Bitcoin’s dominance is allowing altcoins to increase their market share. Many are speculating that a new altcoin season may be on the horizon. Despite predictions leaning towards 2025, recent events suggest it could arrive sooner.

For instance, Ethereum [ETH], the leading altcoin, has remained bullish, with its price increasing by over 3% in the last 24 hours. Other altcoins with large market capitalizations have also shown promising performance, with XRP leading the pack with a 12% gain in the last 24 hours.

The Altcoin Season Index has shown a significant increase, reaching 67 at the time of reporting. A value closer to 75 suggests the arrival of an altcoin season. Despite Ethereum’s recent price increase, its NVT ratio remains low, indicating that the asset may be undervalued and hinting at a sustained price increase.

However, Ethereum’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is nearing the overbought zone, which could trigger a sell-off and limit its upward movement. Although most indicators and market conditions suggest an altcoin season, it’s unclear whether this will occur in the short-term or not.
