Key Takeaways
  • The Crypto Market (TOTALCAP) bounced after a nearly 7% weekly decrease.
  • The Altcoin Market Cap returned to its previous resistance and is validating it as support.
  • Has the crypto market bottomed, and if so, who will lead the next rally?

The crypto market started the week with a sharp drop but has since shown signs of resilience, holding firm at key support levels.

Altcoins, in particular, are testing crucial support zones that could serve as a launchpad for the next leg higher.

Let’s dive into the charts to see whether this pullback has run its course—or if more downside is still ahead.

Why Is Crypto Up Today?

The crypto market cap has fallen by nearly 7% since its high of $4.08 trillion on Sept. 18.

The Sept. 18 high also created a lower price than the August all-time high.

Despite its decline, the crypto market has regained its footing in the past three days, creating a diagonal and horizontal support level.

Today, the crypto market is bouncing at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement support level and the support trend line of a possible symmetrical triangle.

If TOTALCAP maintains this level, it will have major bullish ramifications because of the wave count.

A symmetrical triangle is usually created in wave four of a five-wave upward movement (green).

TOTALCAP is most likely in wave four, so the triangle fits perfectly with the movement’s outline.

The alternative count is also bullish. In it, TOTALCAP has finished wave four and the first portion of wave five with a bounce at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement support level.

If this is true, the crypto market will rapidly rally toward a new all-time high soon, as noted by sub-wave three (black) of wave five.

The 1.61 external Fibonacci retracement of the most recent drop creates a likely target for the top of wave five at $4.46 trillion, which will be a new all-time high price.

What About Altcoins?

The altcoin market cap (ALTCAP) shows a similar chart.

The price has returned to its previous resistance level and attempts to validate it as support.

Like TOTALCAP, ALTCAP is likely in the fifth and final wave of its upward movement, which could end at a new all-time high of $1.30 trillion.

While there is a slight chance that wave five is already over, it has been extremely short compared to the previous waves, so this remains unlikely.

For the bullish count to remain valid, the ALTCAP has to confirm the $1.10 trillion level as support and begin a bounce.

Small Altcoins Ready

Finally, the dominance of altcoins outside the top 10 shows that a breakout is likely soon.

According to the chart, the small altcoins failed to break out from a diagonal resistance trend line.

However, it bounced at the 8% horizontal support area, where it currently trades.

An eventual breakout is likely as long as the small-cap altcoins chart holds above this level.

Since the diagonal resistance has existed for several months, a successful breakout could take the chart to 9.65%.

Bounce Ahead

The crypto is at a critical level. Holding the current support could lead to the fifth and final wave toward new all-time highs.

Altcoins, especially small caps, are signaling strength that could fuel stronger momentum with a breakout.

The next few weeks will be critical in determining whether the crypto market will head higher or if a larger breakdown awaits.
