  • The market lacks a driving narrative, impacting altcoins unless a major catalyst, like the ETH ETF, emerges.
  • Despite bearish sentiment, whales are accumulating altcoins down 30%-50%, signaling long-term confidence.
  • Utility-based tokens might be a strategic buy now, anticipating a Bitcoin surge past $100K for a broader market rally.

The much-anticipated “altseason” has yet to arrive, with the total market capitalization of altcoins falling back to December 2023 levels.

Despite the currently bearish sentiment, no major narratives are propelling the market, unlike the ICO boom of 2017, DeFi surge in 2020, or NFT craze in 2023. The absence of such trends suggests altcoins may continue to underperform against Bitcoin unless a catalyst, such as the approval of spot Ethereum ETFs emerge.

As noted by top crypto analyst Ash Crypto, the current market conditions could present a strategic buying opportunity. Altcoins have declined 30% to 50% from recent highs, dampening retail investor interest.
