This pattern consists of five phases. At the time of writing, the chart was in the fourth phase, called D. During this phase, the price will reportedly move at least towards the upper resistance lines as demand takes over.
After the completion of Phase D, Phase E will take over, during which the price will breakout, demand will be completely under control, and the upward trend will be clear to all.
Doubts still remain
While the above data looked optimistic, a closer look at the major altcoins provided a better insight into what lay ahead. For example, Ethereum, which is the largest altcoin by market capitalization, has recently failed to cross the $1,700 mark.
At the time of writing, ETH was trade at $1,686.51 with a market cap of over $202 billion. CryptoQuant’s facts revealed that ETH’s exchange reserve was increasing, meaning the token was under selling pressure at the time of writing.

That was another bearish signal ETHThe total number of coins transferred has decreased by -57.66% in the last 24 hours. Moreover, the buyers’ buy/sell ratio was also in the red, indicating that selling sentiment was dominant in the derivatives market at the time of writing.
This further increased the chance of a downtrend in the following days.
A look at how other altcoins are doing
While ETH’s performance was disappointing, the second largest altcoin, BNB, also failed to surprise investors. According to CoinMarketCap, BNB has moved only marginally over the past 24 hours. At the time of writing, it was trading at $215.89 with a market cap of over $33 billion.
But BNB‘s MACD showed a bullish crossover, indicating a more volatile price move towards the north. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) also registered an increase and traded above the neutral limit.
Nevertheless, the Money Flow Index (MFI) went in the opposite direction as it fell.

Are meme coins on the rise?
While listing altcoins, it is important to also include top memecoins such as Dogecoin [DOGE] And Shiba Inu [SHIB]. Strikingly, both memecoins showed no sign of decoupling.
Their daily charts were in the green, but SHIB’s price rose almost 2% in the last 24 hours, which was encouraging.
