He also pointed out that we are on the brink of witnessing the first-ever weekly golden cross of the 50 Simple Moving Average (SMA) crossing the 200 SMA. This phenomenon, according to Kevin, could trigger sharp dips and periods of consolidation before a significant movement occurs.

Why It Matters: Kevin’s analysis provides valuable insight into the current state of the altcoin market. He explicitly mentions Dogecoin DOGE/USD, Ripple XRP/USD, Solana SOL/USD and Avalanche AVAX/USD in his post.

However, the impending Golden Cross could signal a potential turning point. Historically, such crosses have often preceded significant market movements. Therefore, Kevin’s prediction of an impending explosive phase in the crypto market could be a crucial development for investors and traders to watch.

In another tweet, prominent trader Michaël van de Poppe stated that he is still heavily allocated into altcoins, despite not being able to time the exact bottom. He adds, "You’ll be allocated into a position, and you’ll need to be patient until it reverses, that’s how things go."
