An analyst who continues to build a following with timely crypto market calls believes that the stage is set for altcoins to witness a big burst to the upside. Pseudonymous analyst TechDev tells his 461,900 followers on the social media platform X that he’s looking at the two-week chart of OTHERS, which tracks the market capitalization of all crypto excluding the 10 largest digital assets and stablecoins. According to the analyst, OTHERS appears to be mirroring its setup in 2017 just before the altcoin market witnessed a parabolic surge. “Accumulation –>Markup –> Expansion… Not one bearish idea I’ve seen passes a start-of-2017 backtest. Every idea is a guess. I suggest not stating them as fact without backtesting a quick scroll to the left.”  Source: TechDev/X Looking at the trader’s chart, he seems to suggest that OTHERS is gearing up for an expansion phase similar to what happened about seven years ago after res...

Cryptocurrency analyst and trader Kevin Svenson believes that altseason, a period when altcoins significantly outperform Bitcoin (BTC), is close at hand. In a new video, Svenson tells his 78,600 YouTube subscribers that his bullish thesis for altcoins is informed by the price action of Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH). “Altseason may actually take place very soon. And the reason why I came to that conclusion is because Bitcoin broke the parabolic trend and is looking to go sideways in this range and consolidate, while the leading altcoin, Ethereum, is actually sitting in an exponential trend. So this is likely going to be the point where altcoins begin to catch up with Bitcoin. The narrative was with Bitcoin since the beginning of 2023 – BlackRock applying for the [spot Bitcoin] exchange-traded fund (ETF), the ETF being approved, the [Bitcoin] halving. All these things led up to this point and now it is time for the narrative to switch.” Source: Kevin Svens...

This liberated evolution of Pepe operates on its own Layer 2 chain, freeing itself from Ethereum’s shackles, offering lower fees and 100x faster transaction speeds. Pepe Unchained presents an opportunity for those who missed the moon train of its Layer 1 predecessor to redeem themselves with even more “marvelous gains” with $PEPU. Imagine investing just $100 in $PEPE just over a year ago.  Today, that investment would be worth $118 million – a staggering 118,396,126% return. This kind of eye-popping return is virtually unheard of in traditional stock market trades. When $PEPU token gets listed on a major exchange, it is not impossible to see it replicate or even surpass the success that $PEPE achieved. Why? Well, it’s unchained.

In a dramatic turn, the crypto market faced a significant downturn on Monday, marking one of the sharpest declines since the resurgence of digital assets last year. Investors are now closely eyeing the $60,000 level as critical technical support for Bitcoin, hoping it will prevent further losses amidst heightened volatility.
