#altcoins
Market snapshot (Wintermute)
- Retail is rotating from altcoins back into BTC and ETH.
- Institutions have been steadily buying BTC and ETH since summer.
- BTC dominance is rising through H2.
- Altcoins are pressured by token unlocks.
- Capital is concentrated in BTC and ETH.
- The market is sideways, due to holidays and low liquidity.
Bottom line: Alt-season is possible, but not now.
What to watch:
- Near term: BTC needs to push higher and show strength.
- Short term: expect rangebound moves with potential shocks from liquidations.
- Medium term: institutions are likely to drive growth.
