Bitcoin Hits Resistance as Altcoins Take the Lead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The crypto market is showing fascinating signs of divergence. Bitcoin<\/a> (BTC)<\/strong> touched the psychological barrier of $70,000<\/strong> \u2014 its highest level since the beginning of the month \u2014 before retracing to the $68,300<\/strong> zone. This “pump and fade” movement contrasts sharply with the explosive dynamics of altcoins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, traders appear to be abandoning Bitcoin’s relative safety to chase yields on higher-beta assets. Cardano<\/a> (ADA)<\/strong> is soaring by over 10%, while Ethereum<\/a> (ETH)<\/strong> and Solana<\/a> (SOL)<\/strong> are posting gains between 6% and 9% on the day. This altcoin outperformance suggests that the forced selling pressure that weighed down the market in early February is finally beginning to dissipate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel Reis-Faria<\/strong>, CEO of ZeroStack, analyzes this movement as a clear signal of returning risk appetite:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

“Forced selling is fading. The fact that altcoins are outpacing Bitcoin indicates a capital rotation<\/strong> typical of healthy recovery phases.”<\/p>\n\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

Technical Analysis: Can BTC Hold $68,000?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From a charting perspective, the rejection at $70,000 is significant. This level acts as a major resistance with a 16-hour order block<\/strong>. The failure to break through cleanly triggered an immediate pullback, but the market structure remains constructive for now as long as the $66,000 \u2013 $68,000<\/strong> support is defended by the bulls. However, this swing failure correlated with the CVD turning positive on the daily timeframe calls for caution. The local top has a high probability of being found here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For altcoins, the setup could take a similar turn. Indeed, Solana liquidated its previous high at $92<\/strong> before reintegrating the range. This corresponds to a “swing failure<\/strong>” in range trading, and a potential short signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The momentum indicators (RSI) on shorter timeframes are starting to heat up for altcoins, signaling strong buying pressure, while Bitcoin appears to be entering a phase of sideways compression. If BTC manages to stabilize above $68,000, this could provide the ideal foundation for a continuation of the altcoin rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does This Rotation Signal a New “Altseason”?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everything will depend on the daily closes and the weekly close in the coming days. The current divergence, where BTC stagnates while the rest of the market explodes, is often a precursor to a prosperous period for altcoins. However, this scenario has never really materialized over the past 2 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caution remains warranted. The overall market remains correlated to tech indices and macroeconomic news. A failure by Bitcoin to hold its immediate supports could quickly invalidate the bullish structure of altcoins. Traders will therefore closely watch the weekly close: confirmation of Ethereum<\/a> and Solana’s<\/strong> strength against Bitcoin<\/strong> could well kick off a new bullish leg for the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
