Selling Wave Crashes Over Altcoins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On-chain data reveals a concerning trend<\/strong> for altcoin<\/strong>s<\/a> holders. The 7-day moving average of incoming transactions to exchanges<\/a><\/strong> has exceeded 70,000 units<\/strong>, an unprecedented peak in 2025. This metric typically serves as a leading indicator of imminent selling pressure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CryptoQuant’s analysis shows that similar levels have consistently preceded major corrections<\/strong> in Bitcoin<\/a><\/strong> and altcoins<\/strong>. Coin Bureau emphasizes: “Altcoin transactions to exchanges just hit a new yearly high, signaling either increasing selling pressure<\/strong> or traders preparing for the next major rotation.”<\/p>\n\n\n

Stablecoin Liquidity Dangerously Drying Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The stablecoin<\/strong> situation adds a worrying dimension. Available liquidity in USDT<\/strong> and USDC<\/strong> on major platforms shows signs of progressive depletion, limiting the market’s ability to absorb massive sell orders<\/strong>. Historically, liquidity contractions coincide with periods of low demand and increased volatility<\/strong>, widening spreads for traders and making speculative positions less attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this bearish context, the MACD<\/strong> crossover on the total altcoin<\/strong> market capitalization chart appears for the fourth time in eight years. The three previous occurrences marked the beginning of major bullish supercycles<\/strong>. This technical signal, though rare, doesn’t guarantee an immediate reversal but indicates a potential cycle bottom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ALTCOINS ARE FLASHING A CYCLE-LEVEL BOTTOM.

Third MACD cross in 8 years.
Each one marked the start of an altcoin supercycle.

This is how generational trades begin.
