In recent months, the cryptocurrency market has seen a significant increase in activity, with Bitcoin (BTC) experiencing a 60 percent spike to as high as $42,000. This remarkable growth is expected to soon plateau, leading to a possible altcoin rally. Indicators like the Bitcoin Everyday Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 67 or above suggest the possibility of a price trend reversal.

The total market cap of altcoins is currently testing a pivotal level of around $700 Billion, hinting at a possible expansion in the near future. On-chain analytics platform Lookonchain reported that ‘smart money’ investors with substantial holdings are increasingly looking towards altcoins. For example, a crypto whale with an estimated balance of $10 million has been engaging in complex DeFi trades on platforms such as AAVE. Popular altcoins such as Chainlink (LINK), Echelon Prime (PRIME) and Lido DAO (LDO) have seen increased investor interest.

Smaller digital assets, such as Apecoin (APE), Celo (CELO), Baby Doge Coin FLOKI (BABYDOGE) Inu (FLOKI) and Chiliz (CHZ), have already reached their bear market lows and appear to be signaling a macro reversal. These assets, well-known for their strong DeFi liquidity, could be on the brink of a breakout.

The crypto market is preparing for a boom, spurred on by the rising number of institutional investors and their investments. This is evidenced by the increasing number of applications for spot ETFs (Exchange-traded Funds) in the United States. Bitcoin’s value, for instance, has skyrocketed and now exceeds the valuations of major tech companies like Facebook, Tesla and Berkshire Hathaway, after a long bear market.

This shift in the cryptocurrency landscape is indicative of a maturing market and the increasing interest from a variety of investors. This sets the stage for an exciting period in the crypto-economy.
