Altcoins Surge Following Bitcoin's (BTC) Leadership, But Expert Warns of Caution

Altcoins surged last week, following Bitcoin's (BTC) leadership in what some analysts are calling “the biggest crypto bull run ever.”

Altcoins continued their rally last week, heeding Bitcoin’s (BTC) call in what some are describing as “the biggest crypto bull run ever.” However, one cryptocurrency trading expert warned to tread carefully, as all cryptocurrencies could soon start bleeding before “sending them much higher.”

In the past seven days, US-based altcoin projects such as Ripple’s XRP, IOHK’s Cardano (ADA), and Algorand’s (ALGO) took the spotlight. XRP, for example, surged by over 83% in a week, as reported by Finbold, breaking the $1 mark and eyeing $8.

Meanwhile, CrypNuevo expressed his belief that this bull rally may encounter resistance and experience a “shallow pullback” in the coming days. The analyst shared this analysis on November 14, observing BTC psychological levels and TradingView’s Bitcoin Dominance Index (BTC.D).

This scenario could also be influenced by the S&P 500 6,000 psychological price level, pulling everything down in a market correction that is long overdue.

Bitcoin (BTC) price prediction

The analysis began with a Bitcoin price prediction, suggesting a move up, followed by a pullback to $83,000. “Not necessarily what I think it’ll happen,” CrypNuevo clarified, “but just what would give me the most trade triggers.”

According to the expert, a run to $95,000-$96,000 would present an opportunity to trigger a short against retail, anticipating BTC to reach the much-anticipated $100,000 psychological level. Essentially, this zone would act as a bull trap, generating sufficient liquidity to the downside with long liquidations.

However, the long squeeze would likely bounce up again once market makers were done with the retracement.

Altcoins: Bleed before being sent “much higher”

Interestingly, the analyst has consistently warned of an incoming altseason, observing the BTC.D index. This notion remains valid as Bitcoin’s dominance currently hovers in CrypNuevo’s key range between 60% and 62%.

In his opinion, if BTC plays out as projected above, altcoins would likely follow, albeit for a “shallow pullback.” Notably, this would create a “great opportunity,” in his words, as the altseason would finally commence after this brief bleed.

“Then we could see alts continue to bleed – but at this pace (!) a shallow pullback rather than a deep one – presenting a great opportunity before sending them much higher.”

It is crucial to note, however, that even professional traders and prominent analysts like CrypNuevo can be wrong. These analyses do not guarantee the market will behave as expected. Instead, they simply offer valuable insights for traders and investors to consider during their own studies.
