As Bitcoin hits new all-time highs, MYX Finance and Starknet surge over 20% in a day. Will this remarkable rally of mid-cap altcoins signal a new uptrend for alternative projects, or is it just a spark before an inevitable consolidation?
The last 24 hours have confirmed renewed activity in the crypto market. While Bitcoin continues its upward trajectory toward its ATH, two mid-cap altcoins MYX Finance (MYX) and Starknet (STRK) have surged by more than 20%, reigniting the debate about a possible “altcoin season.”
This sector rotation can be explained by a repositioning of capital: When Bitcoin enters a consolidation phase, investors turn to more volatile assets to maximize their returns. Mid-caps, positioned between blue chips and micro-caps, offer an optimal balance between risk and performance.
On-chain analysis shows a marked increase in trading volume, indicating institutional accumulation and increased whale interest. MYX is now targeting the $0.35 zone, while STRK aims for $0.95, both representing major technical resistances on daily and weekly timeframes.
Caution remains essential, however: Without sustained volumes and consistent buy order flows, these rallies could turn into bull traps. A consolidation phase therefore remains likely before a new impulse for altcoins.
MYX Finance’s price action since last August perfectly illustrates the typical structure of an asset in a primary uptrend: Successive breakouts followed by horizontal consolidation phases that serve to absorb profit-taking and build new support levels. The recent pullback had indeed raised legitimate concerns among holders, but the ripple effect caused by Bitcoin’s strength has helped regain considerable bullish momentum.
First, the price is currently attempting to validate what could become a textbook V-shaped recovery. This configuration, though visually spectacular, requires volumetric confirmation which we don’t yet fully observe. Current buying volume, although increasing, remains below the peaks recorded during previous breakouts in August and September. This divergence between price and volume constitutes a red flag that should be carefully monitored.
If MYX manages to break through the key resistance of $8.4, the technical signal would be clearly bullish, opening the way to a new ATH around $20. Indicators are converging: Momentum is intensifying, and savvy investors know that the real movement may not have even begun yet.
Starknet’s price has experienced a sudden surge accompanied by a massive influx of buying pressure, with trading volume jumping from $55 million to over $280 million, a four-fold increase. After June’s rebound, the price remained consolidated between resistance and support, before the beginning of Q4 triggered a strong breakout.
The STRK price has now broken above the parallel channel and found support on the 200-day moving average. Bears are attempting to push the price below this level, but technical indicators suggest that additional bullish movement remains possible. The RSI is trying to maintain in the overbought zone, while showing the possibility of a bearish divergence.
Thus, if the price continues to stabilize around the 200-day moving average ($1.78), this could form a solid base capable of propelling the rally toward the resistance zone between $1.88 and $1.92, then beyond $2.
