A crypto strategist who accurately called the pre-halving Bitcoin (BTC) correction thinks altcoins are close to taking center stage.
Pseudonymous analyst Rekt Capital tells his 473,400 followers on the social media platform X that he’s keeping an eye on the OTHERS chart, which traders use to track the altcoin market as it measures the total market cap of crypto excluding the top 10 digital assets and stablecoins.
According to Rekt, OTHERS appears to be following a script he laid out in February, suggesting that the broader altcoin market is poised to print gains of about 42% from its current level of $297.5 billion.
“Altcoin Market Cap [performed] its highest weekly close since early April 2024. Also, perfectly following the ultimate altcoin market cap game plan outlined earlier this year.”
Looking at Rekt’s chart, he seems to predict that OTHERS will rally to its weekly resistance at $425 billion.
As for the timeline of altcoin surges, Rekt believes that capital rotation into alts will happen once Ethereum (ETH) takes a breather.
“It’s not yet clear if the ETH rally is over, but when ETH is ready to consolidate after its ETF (exchange-traded fund)-fuelled breakout move… Altcoins should be able to benefit from newfound money flow.”
Looking at Ethereum itself, Rekt says the leading layer-1 platform is in a solid position to move above $4,000 as ETH bulls now have the momentum following a weekly close above the $3,300 resistance area.
“ETH spent plenty of time around the orange-circled lows (~$2791). This is the level that has historically preceded upside back into ~$4,000 (green). Weekly Close above the orange box seems inevitable and will confirm that bulls have reclaimed momentum.”
At time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $3,888.
