In the recent past, altcoin prices have plummeted due to volatility in the cryptocurrency space. Generally, as historical data shows, if the largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) drops 1 percent, altcoins tend to fall 10 percent. That’s why now when Bitcoin is more than 60 percent below its all-time high (ATH), major altcoins are lagging over 90 percent from their highs. Therefore, according to some, the current situation may present a good buying opportunity.
Deeper dips for altcoin prices?
At the moment, the majority of Bitcoin and altcoins are looking quite volatile and hence a major bearish sentiment to the downside. The altcoin index, which sparked the downtrend just before the LUNA/UST crisis, had been testing low support levels for several days, but the current bearish price has dragged it below the support zone. That’s why right now, most altcoins could drop another 20 percent to 25 percent, according to il Capo Of Crypto, a renowned analyst.

Therefore, according to experts, most of the altcoins will fall another 25 percent. While you’re getting ready, this can be a pretty good time to save at discounted prices. However, ETH price is expected to bounce a bit, which could cause significant momentum in altcoins. On the other hand, experts like Sahana Vibhute argue that if these tokens start a strong recovery from lower support, a strong uptrend can be entered.
Which altcoins to watch?
According to the expert, therefore, the altcoins to watch closely in the coming times are Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), Ripple (XRP), Avalanche (AVAX), Phantom (FTM), Apecoin (APE) ), Decentraland (MANA), can be seen as The SandBox (SAND). Meanwhile, Polkadot (DOY) rose 7 percent, with most of the major market cap altcoins on the red board with slight dips. Bitcoin is trading close to $30,000. As
