Altcoins Market Bounces Back – XRP, DOGE, ADA, and XLM Lead the Pack
The altcoins market is showing a strong resurgence today as signaled by the TOTAL3 market cap, which excludes Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). It approaches the $1 trillion milestone as the market rally today witnessed 12% gain in XRP. Other altcoins like Dogecoin (DOGE). Cardano (ADA), Stellar (XLM), and Hedera (HBAR) have joined the party gaining between 5-10% over the past 24 hours.
Is the Altcoins Market Rally About to Begin?
Following Donald Trump’s victory in November last year, the altcoins market staged a massive rally until mid-December. However, over the past few weeks, it has been consolidating amid the Bitcoin price retracement to $90,000.
Today’s resurgence in the Bitcoin price and the broader altcoins market comes just ahead of the release of US CPI data on Wednesday. Additionally, all eyes are currently on Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, as some industry experts expect Trump to issue executive orders on crypto policy on the first day in office. This could also include repealing the controversial SAB 121 accounting rule, which forces banks to declare digital assets as liabilities.
On the other hand, the altcoins season index is currently at a crucial support of 49, per the data from Blockchain Center. Analysts are expecting a bounce back thereby triggering the next wave of the altseason.
