Will Altcoins Shine Again? Indicators Reveal Next Move
Investors may be looking to altcoins as the crypto market enters an interesting phase. Over the last few weeks, the prices of these cryptos have shown a glimpse of consistently running upwards.
However, these cryptos have been unable to sustain the momentum. Moreover, the values of most of them dropped in the last 24 hours. But here’s why the decline is not destined to keep investors on the sidelines.
Altcoins Struggle, But Indicators Offer Promise
Two indicators that indicate whether altcoin prices will increase or not include the TOTAL2 and Bitcoin (BTC) dominance charts.
The TOTAL2 is the total market cap of the top 125 cryptocurrencies, excluding BTC. Bitcoin dominance is, however, also significant to the crypto market, as it reflects the coin’s relative market share in comparison to altcoins.
Typically, a rise in Bitcoin dominance and a fall in TOTAL2 means BTC is performing better than the average altcoin and may continue to do so. However, if it is the other way around, altcoins are in control.
During this cycle, altcoins have made various attempts to keep Bitcoin behind them. But the number one cryptocurrency keeps nullifying that position.

As shown above, Bitcoin’s dominance fell from 55.80% to 55.41%. However, the market cap of altcoins followed in the same direction. Unlike BTC, TOTAL2 notes a 3.86% increase that has taken it back above $1.05 trillion.
If the value continues to increase, non-Bitcoin crypto prices could experience respite. If Bitcoin dominance falls in the process, BTC may drop toward $65,000. But if that does not happen, the prices of the coins might stall in similar regions.
Apart from the increase, the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) also shows signs that altcoin may see a notable jump.
At press time, the 20 EMA (blue) is on the cusp of rising above the 50 EMA (yellow). Should this happen, it will be a bullish crossover, which may confirm an upswing.
More Inflows Means Altcoin Dominance No Pipe Dream
Furthermore, crypto investment inflows into altcoins were distributed across all the cryptos involved last week. This is one unprecedented happening that has not occurred for some time.
According to CoinShares, cryptocurrencies including Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Binance Coin (BNB) registered positive netflows.
A situation like this points to increased confidence in their near-term potential. If sustained, the market may move closer to the much-anticipated altcoin season.

However, not every analyst is bullish on altcoin at the moment. While there are some optimists like Michaël van de Poppe, Benjamin Cowen seems to be treading with caution.
According to Cowen, the founder of IntoTheCryptoverse, it could take two more months for the cryptocurrencies to start outperforming BTC.
“Bitcoin dominance monthly candle reminds me of May 2019, which was 2 months before the Fed cut rates last cycle.BTC also had an explosive move back then, and ALTs could not keep up. Similar candle today, potentially 2 months before the 1st rate cut.” Cowen shared on X.
By the look of things, altcoins have the potential to recover from their recent downturn. However, if Bitcoin’s price nears $70,000, as predicted earlier, the bullish outlook for these cryptos may be invalidated.

In an unprecedented event, a dormant Ethereum whale caused a stir across the broader market on Friday, heavily dumping tokens amid the hovering bullish sentiment. Recent data pointed out that the whale dumped nearly $224 million worth of tokens, raising price drop concerns among crypto enthusiasts globally. Despite that, ETH price soared today, setting off waves of speculation over future movements across the industry.
Dormant Ethereum Whale Wakes Up To Sell, Investors Apprehensive
According to the latest data by Lookonchain, an Ethereum whale that was dormant for eight years was revived and started selling. According to the data, the whale used various addresses to sell a staggering $224 million worth of the abovementioned token.
Notably, this whale accumulated 398,889 ETH at around just $2.4 million between January 18 and March 10, 2016, at an average cost of $6 per token. Following eight years of dormancy, the whale revived on November 7, 2024, and commenced offloading.
Meanwhile, the whale has been recorded selling 73,356 ETH, worth $224.42 million, the latest data showed. This massive dump brought selling pressure to the asset. Besides, the colossal amount of Ethereum remaining with the whale has sparked speculations over his future moves.
On the other hand, it’s also noteworthy that the latest Whale Alert data indicated nearly 20.8 million ETH dumped to Coinbase. Although these dumps raised bearish market sentiments, the top crypto by market cap has defied usual trends to trade in the green territory.
ETH Price Soars Defying Selling Pressure
Despite the abovementioned selloffs, ETH price today traded dominantly in the green at $3,337, up 5% intraday. Its 24-hour low and high were $3,147 and $3,428.46, respectively. Intriguingly, the monthly chart for the token showcased 29% gains. This bullish trajectory has raised uncertain investor sentiments over the coin’s future movements.
Further, Coinglass data pointed out a 10% increase in Ethereum’s futures OI to $70.79 billion. Moreover, even the derivatives volume soared 63% to $70.79 billion. This data further points to a bullish scenario for the token, adding to market speculations amid massive selloffs.
Additionally, a recent CoinGape Media report spotlighted key indicators that signal further gains for Ethereum price. Considering these bullish trends and the recent rally in the crypto’s price, it appears that market watchers continue to remain optimistic about the asset despite the recent selloffs.

One of the top Neiro Ethereum holders has surprisingly sparked bearish sentiments amid a bull market, heavily dumping the dog-themed meme token. Recent on-chain data pointed out that the 2nd largest holder of the token, Wintermute, took action to dump $3M worth of coins. This dump has raised substantial investor concerns, further solidified by the coin’s waning price movement amid a broader bull market.
Top Neiro Ethereum Holder Offloads Over 100M Coins
According to data by Arkham Intelligence, Wintermute deposited 35 million Neiro Ethereum tokens worth $3.08 million to Bybit over the past three days. Notably, the market maker remains the 2nd largest holder of the crypto, holding 10.9% of the total supply worth 108.95 million tokens.
Besides, it’s noteworthy that the same market maker totally withdrew 121.466M of the same token from Bybit before the abovementioned selloff to become the 2nd largest holder of this Shiba Inu dog breed-themed crypto. Nevertheless, despite the selloff weighing in, Wintermute is still the 2nd largest holder of the asset.
In light of this dynamic, market participants remain apprehensive as future selloffs by the top holder could negatively influence the renowned meme coin’s price movements. Meanwhile, despite a bullish sentiment over top meme coins, as witnessed by Dogecoin, Pepe coin, Bonk, and other tokens’ phenomenal gains, the Neiro Ethereum selloff has solidified market concerns.
Token Price Remains Volatile
At the time of reporting, NEIRO price traded near the flatline over the past 24 hours to rest at $0.079. The coin’s intraday low and high were $0.0753 and $0.08385, respectively. Notably, the weekly chart for the crypto showcased a 10% dip. This waning action has sparked severe market concerns in the wake of the abovementioned selloff.
However, a recent CoinGape Media report revealed that Neiro Ethereum has partnered with the market maker DWF Labs, adding investor intrigue on future price movements. Notably, another massive holder of the crypto is GSR Markets, a renowned market maker, holding 33.52 million tokens. Wintermute and GSR collectively hold 142.47 million tokens worth 14.25% of the total supply.

A hidden Bullish Divergence pattern has just been identified on the Dogecoin price chart, signaling possibilities of a significant uptrend. With this new technical pattern, a crypto analyst has projected a target of $0.7 for the Dogecoin price.
Bullish Divergence Hint At Dogecoin Price Surge
On November 20, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade on X (formerly Twitter) announced the appearance of a hidden bullish divergence on the Dogecoin 4-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) chart. Based on this unique technical indicator, the analyst’s Dogecoin price analysis suggests that the meme coin may be gearing up for a significant rally to the upside.
Typically, an RSI hidden bullish divergence occurs when the price of a cryptocurrency forms higher lows while its RSI forms lower lows. This indicates that despite Dogecoin’s RSI showcasing declining momentum, its price is still maintaining strength, suggesting a higher potential for an uptrend continuation.
Recently, the Dogecoin price has been on a major bullish run, as it skyrocketed from above $0.1 to over $0.35 in just a few weeks. This impressive rally has allowed the popular meme coin to test the $0.4 resistance level, a critical threshold that could trigger a significant rally for the Dogecoin price.
Based on Trader Tardigrade’s Dogecoin chart, the RSI Hidden Bullish Divergence can be seen forming at around the $0.37 price level. The analyst has set a bullish target at $0.7 for Dogecoin, highlighting a steady but continuous growth from its current price if it can maintain positive momentum.
As of writing, the price of Dogecoin is trading at $0.38, marking a 165.19% surge over the past month, according to CoinMarketCap. Despite repeatedly failing to break the $0.4 threshold, Dogecoin could see an 84.2% price increase from its current value if the projected positive growth driven by the Hidden Bullish Divergence holds valid. This would effectively push the meme coin close to or even above it’s All-Time High (ATH) of $0.73 in May 2021 during the last bull market.
DOGE Targets New ATH
In another X post, crypto analyst, Steph, has maintained an optimistic outlook on the Dogecoin price. According to Steph, Dogecoin could be gearing up for a new ATH this bull cycle.
The analyst shared a 2-year Dogecoin price chart, pinpointing a bullish target between $1.4 and $1.8 for the meme coin. Following the target’s position on the Dogecoin chart, the analyst suggests that this ATH rally could either take place before the end of 2024 or in 2025.
Based on current market trends, this massive price surge to a new ATH could be potentially driven by Elon Musk’s influence through his newly proposed organization, the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E). Additionally, Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration as the 47th United States (US) President could also serve as a strong catalyst that could propel the Dogecoin price higher.
