The altcoin market is patiently waiting for Bitcoin price to break above the current resistance level to continue rallying. From a technical standpoint, a breakout from the current level will send Bitcoin price above $18k to retest the $18,500 psychological resistance zone.
Altcoins to Keep a Close Watch
Following a volatile weekend and Monday, most of the crypto assets have consolidated if not retracted on Tuesday. For instance, Cardano (ADA) and Solana (SOL) have dropped approximately 3 percent in the past 24 hours. Nonetheless, Lido DAO (LDO) has risen 64 percent and 3 percent in the past seven days and 24 hours respectively.
As such, on-chain analytic firm Santiment believes most crypto traders are just FOMO-ing to take small profits before an imminent pullback. Furthermore, Santiment believes more FUD will follow the current altcoins’ rally, which will send prices to the bottom again.
The #altcoin rally has rung in a very welcomed #NewYear for #crypto. Whether prices continue surging depends on whether traders can temper their #FOMO. If you start seeing #ALTSEASON plastered all over #Twitter, read why a pullback may be in order. https://t.co/fALNwSHxyc pic.twitter.com/0CU4NSaw6l
