Analyst Notes: Crypto analyst Michael Van De Poppe has observed a gradual yet promising trend in the world of Altcoins.

"Breakouts are happening across the board, while also major caps are showing some momentum. We’ve seen a case where the BTC pairs of altcoins are bouncing up. That’s a slight sign of strength. If that continues to happen, we’re on the edge of having breakouts on altcoins across the board," Van de Poppe said.

Furthermore, it seems highly probable that the recent low of Ethereum against Bitcoin could mark a significant turning point, considering it aligns with a similar pattern observed 252 days before Bitcoin’s halving. If that wasn’t compelling enough, "an approval of the Ethereum ETF futures to be confirmed in maximum one month from now. The bull market always starts when nobody expects it and this might be the period."

Pseudonymous analyst CrediBull suggests that although the current situation may appear negative, it also appeared that way when Bitcoin was valued at $15,000. 

"After our bearish weekly candle at 15k, we only drifted about 2.5% lower before finding out bottom. Looks can be deceiving which is why you can’t base your bias off of how things look," CrediBull said.

The analyst said a break in market structure at $24,800 is the first indication that a potential trend shift may be occurring. Until then, it might “look bad”, but it really isn’t.
