While Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering around the $104,000 level, the altcoin market still cannot break free from its slump.
According to CryptoQuant on the 19th (local time), the cumulative one-year buy-sell order gap for altcoins, excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH), recorded -$36 billion (USD). This indicator, which turned positive in December last year—signaling a short-term high for altcoins—has been declining ever since.
On-chain data analysts said, "Altcoin investors have disappeared from the market," and forecasted, "Unless this indicator reverses upward again, it will be difficult to expect a full-fledged altcoin season."
