In a recent analysis, Jan Happel and Yan Allemann, co-founders of Glassnode, which goes by the name Negentropic, shared their perspectives on the cryptocurrency market, focusing specifically on altcoins. Analysts state that altcoins have been lagging behind Bitcoin (BTC) for some time. So, they wonder when altcoins will start gaining significant ground. Crypto expert Elmaz Sabovic looks at the top three altcoin projects that are ready to benefit from the Bitcoin narrative.
Bitcoin is leading the way, but altcoins are advancing too!
Negentropic looks at indicators that despite Bitcoin’s lead in market trends, the total market capitalization of altcoins is advancing. This trend is particularly notable, with major players such as Ethereum (ETH) closely following Bitcoin’s lead.

Leading altcoin Ethereum (ETH) ranks first
Amid significant bullish momentum across multiple assets in the cryptocurrency space, Ethereum, the second-largest crypto by market cap, is also following suit. According to renowned crypto analyst Ali Martinez, Ethereum breaking $2,000 represents a “pivotal buying moment” for the altcoin. This perspective is based on the observation that traders purchased a significant amount of ETH around this price level.

Additionally, the leading altcoin increased by 14.7% over the previous week. Moreover, it has gained over 24% on its monthly chart, according to the latest data.

Considering the gains among the broader cryptocurrency market in previous days, Solana (SOL) is no exception, having gained nearly 50% in the past month. Solana is approaching the top of an ascending triangle visible on its 12-hour chart. This formation indicates a potential upward move for SOL. However, it is better to be careful.
A confirmed close above $68.2 will likely initiate a bullish breakout targeting $90. However, it is crucial to watch the $60 support level. Any signs of weakness around this point could lead to an increase in profit taking, potentially taking SOL to $47 according to Ali Martinez.
