Altcoins Heat Up as Bitcoin Cools, But Is the Rally Ending Soon?

Main Idea

Bitcoin remains stable while altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano show significant gains, with early signs of an altcoin season emerging despite Bitcoin's declining dominance.

Key Points

1. Bitcoin is steady around $119,366, while altcoins such as Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano have gained 3–8%, with Dogecoin surging 9% in a day and 32% weekly.

3. Ethereum reached $3,793, its highest since early 2022, and a break above $4,000 could trigger a broader altcoin rally.

4. Bitcoin's dominance has dropped 5.8% in a week to under 61%, its lowest since March, signaling a shift in trader focus toward altcoins.

5. Analyst Benjamin Cowen warns the altcoin rally may lose steam by late August, with Bitcoin dominance likely rising again in September or October.
