- Ethereum metrics remained bearish.
- However, XRP and BNB looked bullish.
While all eyes remain focused Bitcoin [BTC] Halving would allow altcoins to quietly take the crown while planning a bull rally.
According to the latest data, Altcoin’s market capitalization had reached a level that was historically followed by price increases.
That’s why AMBCrypto checked the best alts like Ethereum [ETH], BNBAnd XRP to see if history would repeat itself.
Altcoins are preparing for a rally
Bitcoin is expected to undergo its fourth halving soon. Once executed, the mining reward will be reduced by 50%, from the current 6.25 to 3,125 bitcoins.
The previous halving took place in 2020, when BTC’s block reward was reduced from 12.5 to 6.25. At a time when everyone was keeping a keen eye on BTC, altcoins were trading interestingly.
Titan of Crypto, a popular crypto analyst, recently posted tweet attention to the market capitalization of altcoins. According to the tweet, the Fibonacci retracement level was at 61.8% on the monthly chart.
If we consider history, every time the metric reached that level, altcoins started bull rallies in the following days. To be precise, similar incidents occurred in 2021 and 2016.
Will ETH, BNB and XRP lead?
