Bitcoin dominance has been signaling an inevitable reversal in the near term, which will trigger the much-anticipated altcoins bullish breakout.
The ongoing Bitcoin BTC $67 924 24h volatility: 2.2% Market cap: $1.36 T Vol. 24h: $53.69 B price pump above $67k on Friday carried with it most of the altcoins led by Ethereum (ETH), Solana SOL $84.39 24h volatility: 3.6% Market cap: $48.10 B Vol. 24h: $5.15 B , and Dogecoin (DOGE). Furthermore, the recently approved spot Ethereum ETFs, apart from Grayscale’s ETHE, have been registering significant cash inflows in the past three days.
As a result, the confidence in the altcoin industry has significantly improved in the recent past, with more institutional investors adopting the web3 projects.
Although Bitcoin dominance has scaled to a new yearly high of about 56.50 percent, several indicators led by the weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) point to an inevitable reversal in the near term. Historically, the reversal of the Bitcoin dominance after a rising trend triggers major altseasons.
Top Altcoins to Buy Ahead
According to market intelligence platform Santiment, crypto investors should closely watch for highly undervalued altcoins to maximize profits in the anticipated altseason. Santiment believes that altcoins that have demonstrated extreme pain for the investors potentially have the best returns.
“If you believe markets are about to surge, history says that buying into assets that traders have experienced the most pain in have a greater probability of netting high returns for you,” Santiment noted.
Uniswap (UNI)
Uniswap (UNI), a mid-cap altcoin with a fully diluted valuation of about $7.6 billion and a total value locked of around $5.5 billion, takes pride in more than 381k on-chain holders. The altcoin pumped over 6 percent in the last 24 hours to trade around $7.65 on Friday.
Nonetheless, UNI price against the US dollar is still down around 83 percent from its all-time high (ATH), $44.92 set in May 2021. With an all-time low of about $1.03, UNI price has more upside to discover in the bull run than most large-cap altcoins.
