An analyst who continues to grow his following with timely crypto calls believes that altcoins are about to witness a final capitulation event.
Crypto strategist Benjamin Cowen tells his 876,600 followers on the social media platform X that the altcoin market looks poised to plummet against Bitcoin (TOTAL3/BTC).
TOTAL3 serves as a proxy for the altcoin market as it tracks the market cap of all crypto excluding Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH) and stablecoins.
According to Cowen, TOTAL3/BTC appears to follow a price pattern witnessed in 2019 when the pair slumped to a key support level before a reversal and a strong uptrend.
“It looks like the grand finale of the altcoin reckoning has finally arrived.
The altcoin reckoning should be over by December 2024 (2nd week of January 2025 at the latest).
It has been a long journey, and many gave up along the way, but this process was always going to play out.”
A bearish TOTAL3/BTC chart suggests that Bitcoin is primed to significantly outperform the altcoin market.
Zooming in on the altcoin market, Cowen takes a closer look at the OTHERS chart, which tracks the market cap of all crypto assets excluding the 10 largest coins and stablecoins. According to Cowen, OTHERS against Bitcoin (OTHERS/BTC) just lost a key support level, suggesting that lower-cap altcoins are about to lose a lot of value against Bitcoin.
“I warned that OTHERS/BTC would sweep the lows, rally to the BMSB (bull market support band) then get rejected and put in new cycle lows.
This is now playing out, while those that promote memecoin garbage will pretend like this is not happening.
Don’t lose all your money chasing garbage memecoins, the people that promote them non-stop will not care if you lose all your money trading them, and you will find they will move on to promoting different projects in just a few months.”
