Is the Alt Bottom Already In?

Renowned crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe highlighted a familiar pattern where altcoins usually follow the BTC downtrend but tend to bounce back once Bitcoin reaches its bottom. He noted that the Bitcoin pairs often show signs of a bottoming process before the USDT pairs. “We can see multiple signals that we might be reversing already, said Poppe, citing the current movement in altcoin against Bitcoin. The latest development in the wake of the current news of Mt. Gox’s Bitcoin repayment.

Along with Solana (SOL), Chainlink (LINK) has mirrored similar gains shooting up by 8% and currently trading at $14.09. On the upside, $15 remains a major hurdle to clear, however, technical indicators suggest that the bottom for LINK could be already in.
