Altcoins Exploding: Is This the Altseason Boom We’ve Been Heckled About? 😂

by

Key takeaways, folks, ’cause we’re keepin’ it simple:

  • TOTAL3 market cap’s hit a whoppin’ record $1.18 trillion, showin’ them altcoins are dancin’ faster than a cat on a hot tin roof in the crypto circus. 🎢

  • USDT dominance took a nosedive, screamin’ that folks are shiftin’ their gold outta the stablecoin vault and into riskier alleys for bigger kicks. 💰😏

That there TradingView ticker, TOTAL3, trackin’ the market cap of all them coins except Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), soared to a new all-time high of $1.18 trillion on Monday-ha, beat its old record from 2021 like it was nothin’! And it closed the week on Sunday higher than a kite, leavin’ the ghosts of past bubbles laughin’ in the dust. 🚀

Traders eyeball this TOTAL3 chart like a ship captain checks the weather vane, thinkin’ it tells ’em if the altcoin fleet’s sailin’ smooth or about to hit a iceberg-givin’ the lowdown on capital rotatin’ and how healthy this wild altcoin menagerie really is. 🏴‍☠️💸

And talk about fuelin’ the fire for this so-called “altseason” nonsense! USDT dominance has taken a tumble, droppin’ 11.8% this past week from 4.74% down to 4.18%-now that’s a fall steeper than a fool chasin’ a rainbow! Usually means investors are ditchin’ them safe stablecoins for wilder rides, hopin’ to hit the jackpot as the market gets cocky. Sink below 4% and we’d match the lowest since January 2025-lordy, what a spectacle! 📉😆

Even that crypto trader fella, Honey, jumped aboard the bullish bandwagon, spottin’ a breakout from some cup-and-handle pattern on the weekly chart-like findin’ gold in them hills! Honey hollered,

“We have officially broken out of the cup and candle, which is extremely bullish for our beloved altcoins. Expect fireworks in the coming weeks. TOTAL3 to $1.6T.” 🎇💥

Data points to a slowly brewin’ “Altseason”-or is it just hot air? 🍲

Diggin’ deeper into the performance gibberish of the top 100 crypto varmints, it reveals this growin’ strength-and confound it all, the knotted up complexity of this altcoin cycle that’s bubblin’ up like a pot of hot soup. 🥘

The numbers show a downright rocket-fuel acceleration in altcoin momentum these last three months, with returns outpacinin’ Bitcoin by more than six times over. Meanin’ while Bitcoin’s sittin’ there like an old anchor, capital’s skippin’ off to riskier shores-yep, signs pointin’ to an “altseason” cookin’, though it might just be folks gettin’ liquored up on hope. 📈🤪

But hold your horses, not everything’s in harmony yet-like a choir that’s half asleep. Average returns for them top 100 crypto critters show only 60% of gains comin’ from altcoins, still shy of the 80% to 90% that’s needed to call it a full-blown altseason bonanza. 😅

Meanwhiles, the altcoin season index has climbed to 69%, creepin’ close to that magical 75% mark where them altcoins take the whole show. 🏆

Addin’ a dash of caution, like salt in yer soup, CryptoQuant reports that since Sept. 22, exchanges saw a $4 billion net outflow in them ERC-20 stablecoins, with Binance accountin’ for $3 billion-75% of the plunder! Their total stablecoin stash dropped to $42 billion from $45 billion, like folks snatchin’ their candy from the jar. 🍬

Big withdrawals like that often trail market windfalls, suggestin’ investors are cashin’ in their chips and hoofin’ ’em off exchanges for safer harbors. Less stablecoin ammo lyin’ around means less firepower for buyin’, makin’ the whole market wobble like a drunken sailor at the slightest dip. 🤑🚨
