  • Altcoin market cap (TOTAL2) chart, RSI, MACD signal imminent breakout for altcoins.

Bitcoin (BTC) stormed past the $107,000 mark recently, hitting a daily high of $107,201.78 and now sitting over 2% away from a new all-time high. This significant move for Bitcoin turns the spotlight onto altcoins and their potential in the current market. 

Currently, BTC trades confidently above its 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages (EMAs), which are at $102K and $96.2K, respectively.

Bitcoin Leads the Charge; Altcoins Start to Stir

Bitcoin’s rebound from its April lows below $75,000 is one of its strongest recoveries yet. That earlier dip stemmed from a brief bout of macroeconomic uncertainty, reportedly triggered by President Donald Trump’s aggressive trade war rhetoric . 

With President Trump now appearing to walk back those policies and signaling cooperation with US trade partners, Bitcoin has regained investor confidence. As geopolitical tensions ease, capital is flowing back into risk-on assets, with Bitcoin often taking the lead.

Altcoins Play Catch-Up

So, while Bitcoin currently spearheads this rally, the altcoin market is certainly stirring beneath the surface. Ethereum (ETH) surged an eye-popping 58% in just 30 days. Dogecoin is up 45%, while Solana (SOL) climbed nearly 23% during the same period. 

The real standouts, however, are meme coins and speculative plays, many of which have recorded triple-digit gains over the past few weeks.

Profit-Taking in BTC May Fuel Next Altcoin Rally, Glassnode Data Suggests

According to Glassnode, Bitcoin’s price surge has significantly bolstered investor portfolios, triggering widespread profit-taking and rebalancing. 

This wave of portfolio reallocation could now become the fuel that lights the next altcoin rally. Adding to this, Bitcoin’s Realized Cap just hit an all-time high above $900 billion—a strong sign of fresh capital entering the crypto space.

Altcoin Market Cap (TOTAL2) Chart Signals Imminent Breakout Potential

A look at the Total Crypto Market Cap excluding Bitcoin (TOTAL2) chart reveals compelling signs that altcoin season may indeed be imminent.

The market cap bounced sharply from the $994B level and has surpassed key Fib retracement levels at $1.05T (0.236), $1.08T (0.382), $1.11T (0.5), and $1.14T (0.618). It currently hovers around the 0.786 level at $1.18T, with the next major target sitting at $1.23T.

Moreover, the RSI sits at 62–bullish but not overbought–indicating more upside potential. The MACD is also bullish with the signal line below the MACD line and green histogram bars growing, confirming upward momentum.
