Will Altcoin Season Kick Off in May 2024? 3 Cryptos to Track
Bitcoin price was expected to increase following the halving that took place towards the end of April. However, when that did not happen, investors turned to altcoins.
While many anticipate altcoin season to take place soon, the possibility seems low except for these three altcoins.
Bitcoin Dominance Is Rising Again
Bitcoin dominance reached 56.32% in mid-April and started trickling to 54.34%. But in the last few days, this dominance has grown to almost 55%, threatening the potential of altcoins breaking out and the market noting an altcoin season.
Indeed, altcoin season usually occurs when 75% of the top 50 coins perform better than Bitcoin over the last 90 days. This figure currently stands at 35%, which is far below the threshold for a confirmed altcoin season.
Thus, the chances of an altcoin season in May are pretty low, so it could instead extend to June. Nevertheless, these three altcoins are looking to break out in the coming month.
Ethereum (ETH) Is in a Bullish Reversal Pattern
Ethereum’s price trading at $3,063 failed to breach past the upper trend line of a falling wedge it has been stuck in since March. Following failed attempts in the past, the second biggest crypto asset in the world could break out after bouncing off $2,991 support.
A falling wedge is a bullish chart pattern characterized by converging trendlines sloping downward, indicating a potential reversal from a downtrend. Based on this pattern, the target set for ETH is 16.7% above the upper trend line, marked at $3,695.

However, if the support of $2,991 is broken, Ethereum could fall to $2,800, invalidating the bullish thesis.
Helium (HNT) Set to Reverse the Death Cross
Helium’s price has sharply recovered in the past week after falling to $3.63. During the decline, the altcoin formed a death cross. This occurs when a 50-day Exponential Moving Average crosses below the 200-day EMA, typically signaling a potential downtrend or market weakness ahead.
Nevertheless, the recent recovery is close to not only invalidating the death cross but also forming a golden cross. This could push HNT’s price beyond the $6.33 resistance level to flip it into support. The upswing could enable Helium to enter a 26% rally to reclaim $7 and $8 as support.

But if the death cross weighs heavier than a potential breakout, a drawdown to $3.6 is possible. Losing this level would also invalidate the bullish thesis.
Can Shiba Inu (SHIB) Escape From the Descending Channel?
Shiba Inu’s price has been moving within a descending channel, but with the support of the 50 and 200-day EMA, a bullish breakout could occur in the coming days.
A breakout above the upper trend line at $0.00002584 could translate to 29% growth for the meme coin, potentially sending it to $0.00003332.

This rise could come in May, provided the meme coin does not witness a decline on the daily chart. Losing the support of $0.00002268 could send SHIB lower to fall below $0.00002000. This would invalidate the bullish thesis, increasing the potential for losses.

In an unprecedented development witnessed amid the broader crypto market’s phenomenal crash today, a Dogecoin whale turned heads with its massive accumulation. Recent on-chain insights reveal that a whale bagged a whopping 90 million DOGE from the Binance crypto exchange.
This accumulation has glimmered hope for Dogecoin’s future price endeavors despite its recent dip to the $0.11 price level. So, let’s delve deeper into the accumulation and DOGE’s current market dynamics.
Whale Bags 90M Coins Igniting Optimism
According to the insights provided by the blockchain tracker Whale Alert, 90 million DOGE tokens, worth $10 million, was accumulated by the whale address DGmzv39riE. This accumulation underscored the whale’s undeterred sense of confidence in the asset.
Crypto market whales are large-scale investors who market participants closely monitor to judge market mood, risks, and sentiment. Notably, massive accumulations usually add a bullish tint to a coin’s future prospects.
Further, as per data by Blockchair, the abovementioned address held a whopping 1.42 billion DOGE, worth $157.30 million. This data weighs the balance towards the bullish side for Dogecoin, as, despite the recent crash, the whale has refrained from selling. This could also mean that further price pumps may be imminent, as the correction is a short-term part of the ongoing bull run.
Simultaneously, at press time, DOGE remained in the negative territory despite the buying pressure brought upon the whale.

DOGE Price Pullback, What’s Next
As of writing, the DOGE price chart showed signs of a pullback, tanking 7.08% to $0.1101. Its 24-hour lows and peaks were recorded as $0.1103 and $0.1196, respectively.
It is worth noting that Dogecoin corrected 10.46% over the past week, whereas the monthly chart showed a 30% crash. This slumping action comes in line with the broader market volatility.
Besides, a recent analysis by CoinGape Media spotlighted that an extended bearish movement could pave the road for DOGE to hit the $0.1 support level. Nonetheless, the whale accumulation has sparked riveting market sentiments, pushing Dogecoin market participants onto a hot seat.
Coinglass data added on to this uncertainty as DOGE’s Futures OI dipped 3.42% to $578.21 million, whereas derivatives volume upsurged 64.80% to $1.64 billion. This data hinted at uncertain investor sentiments prevailing in the market.

Against the backdrop of the crypto market’s remarkable bearish movement today, an XRP whale has continued to dump significant amounts of coins to exchanges. Over the past day, nearly 65 million XRP was recorded to have been offloaded, raising severe concerns among crypto market participants.
XRP is currently feeling the heat of the broader market’s downtrend, as also seen by Bitcoin (BTC) slipping as low as the $57K mark. Further, the whale’s dump, despite the recent advancements in the XRP lawsuit, has curated a storm of speculations on future price movements.
Whale Dumps 65M Coins
In a couple of posts shared by the on-chain transaction tracker Whale Alert, it was pointed out that 64.70 million coins were shifted to CEXs via the same whale address. As per the data, the address …Rzn was registered to have been making the massive dump.
Intriguingly, the whale shifted 32.69 million XRP, worth $15.12 million, to the Bitso crypto exchange. Meanwhile, in another transaction, the whale shifted 32.01 million XRP, worth $14.82 million, to the Bitstamp crypto exchange.
The emergence of these transactions amid XRP showing signs of a pullback has raised bearish market sentiments. Also, it’s worth noting that speculations of this whale being linked to Ripple persist. For context, these transactions became a recurring phenomenon soon after Ripple strategically acquired a stake in Bitstamp.
In the interim, XRP price continued to dip, aligning with the whale’s massive dump and the broader market trend. Despite positive developments in the Ripple vs the U.S. SEC lawsuit, as Ripple filed a notice of supplemental authority, the XRP community is yet to witness a significant shift in market sentiment.

XRP Price Tanks
At press time, XRP price showed signs of a pullback, falling 6.84% to $0.4502. The Ripple-backed asset’s 24-hour lows and highs are $0.4486 and $0.4833, respectively.
XRP’s Futures OI dipped 10.08% to $547.41 million, coinciding with the price fall. However, the derivatives volume rocketed 86.88% to $1.58 billion. This hinted at an uncertain market sentiment for XRP.
Meanwhile, crypto analyst Dark Defender took to X, spotlighting the cryptocurrency’s turbulency below $0.4623. The analyst states that the volume is currently at a shallow level, indicating a lack of market activity with no selling or buying. This could potentially pave the way for a dip to $0.3917 should XRP close below $0.4623.
Crypto market enthusiasts continue to eye the token for vital shifts ahead.
