The likelihood of an altcoin season appears to be diminishing as the price of Bitcoin (BTC) has surged in recent weeks after falling to around $53,000.
Many crypto assets remain subdued due to low market liquidity, further delaying the onset of the so-called altcoin season.
Currently, the altcoin season is facing delays as market conditions are not conducive to rising altcoin prices. The uptrend in the altcoin market is showing signs of weakening as reflected in the Average Directional Index (ADX).
The ADX is approaching the critical level of 25. A decline below this threshold may signal a loss of trend strength and a lack of momentum.
This weakening trend is a worrying sign. Declining trend strength could undermine investor confidence and reduce buying interest, exacerbating market difficulties.
This season, most altcoins have struggled to show significant growth. Interestingly, only Toncoin and PEPE have achieved gains exceeding 50%, indicating their strong performance in an otherwise stagnant market.
The limited growth among most altcoins points to ongoing issues within the crypto market. If this trend continues, it could lead to increased uncertainty and volatility, which will affect investor sentiment and market stability.
Furthermore, a further rise in the price of Bitcoin could further delay the start of a potential season for altcoins. However, if Bitcoin’s dominant position drops below 55.67%, this could provide alternative cryptocurrencies with some potential for recovery, potentially sparking the start of such a season.
