Abstract generation in progress

The ongoing bullish cycle has reignited a classic debate: Should you hold Bitcoin or altcoin? With Bitcoin reaching new highs and large investment institutions like BlackRock pouring hundreds of millions of dollars in, BTC's dominance is skyrocketing. But if you're wondering whether the altcoins are lagging behind or preparing to break out, the charts will tell a compelling story. Chart Analysis: Altcoin is Lagging Behind... But is Catching Up The chart below compares the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum ( green line ) with the market capitalization of Bitcoin ( orange line ). What do we see?

Bitcoin has grown strongly, reaching new highs and attracting significant capital inflows from institutions. On the contrary, alternative cryptocurrencies are lagging behind — but they are currently starting to follow the bullish path of Bitcoin. This divergence is typical in a Bitcoin bullish market that often leads the price increase. When BTC establishes a support zone, capital tends to shift to altcoin. Analysis Requirement: Will Altcoin Outperform When Bitcoin Stabilizes? ✅ The above assessment is based on a solid foundation of historical market cycles. Here are the reasons: Capital rotation: After the price of Bitcoin increases, investors often take profits and seek higher bullish prospects in altcoins. Chart structure: The chart shows that altcoins begin to move after Bitcoin. This delayed behavior is a common sign of altseason. Market sentiment: Retail investors are more likely to chase cheaper coins after Bitcoin's explosive moves. If BTC stabilizes in the range of $108,000–$110,000, we may see the altcoin market surpass a market capitalization of $1 trillion, leading to a bullish move of 2–5 times for top altcoins. Final Thoughts: Altcoin is a high-risk, high-reward investment. Bitcoin is still a safer store of value investment, especially in uncertain macro conditions. However, altcoin offers higher bullish potential when BTC cools off and market confidence rises. Smart investors can choose to hold both — using Bitcoin as a base and allocating other altcoins for growth. The chart confirms this: Altcoin is rising. If history repeats itself, this could be the final accumulation zone before a bullish.
