‘Be on Guard’: Trader Says Altcoin Bounce May Be Temporary, Tracks Bitcoin’s Next Targets

A widely followed crypto analyst and trader is warning that an altcoin market bounce may end up being short-lived.

In a new post, pseudonymous crypto trader Altcoin Sherpa tells his 243,900 followers on the social media platform X that alts may give up gains after bouncing based on historical precedence.

He also says Bitcoin (BTC) may soon flip $84,000 into support and that the flagship crypto asset could maintain bullish momentum by breaking through the $89,000 level.

“BTC looks like $84,000 is the first test that is going to break (to the upside) and we’re ok in that department. $89,000 would be my next level of interest overall. Alts looking like they’ll give a temporary bounce but not sure how strong (yet). Be on guard.”

Looking at his chart, the analyst suggests that if Bitcoin can regain $98,703 as support, the flagship crypto asset may print new all-time highs.

However, he warns if $78,167 breaks down as support, Bitcoin may plummet into the $60,000 range.

Bitcoin is trading for $84,154 at time of writing, up 4.6% in the last 24 hours.

The analyst also warns that altcoins like the dogwifhat (WIF) memecoin may struggle for a long time to ever regain higher price targets if Bitcoin turns bearish.

“It’s a lot more concerning for sh**coins this go around because BTC might actually be dead for a bit. In the previous drawdown, we had a lot more hope because we assumed BTC still had more upside. If BTC dies to $50,000 or w/e (whatever), these aren’t coming back for a very long time. See WIF.”

WIF is trading for $0.50 at time of writing, up 9.7% in the last 24 hours.

He adds that altcoins may bounce even as they continue to print a bearish lower-high price structure.

“As much as everything is dead and we’re truly in a bear market for altcoins, it’s important to remember that a bounce will come and alts can still do a few x from current levels. Markets don’t move in a straight line down. Bounce coming within the next one to two months in my opinion.”

He shares the two-day chart of Ethereum (ETH) to illustrate the historical precedence of an altcoin bouncing amid a larger downtrend.

Lawyer wants Hayden Davis arrested, says Milei's sister is LIBRA "mastermind"

An Argentinian lawyer calling for an international arrest warrant against Hayden Davis is claiming that the sister of Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, was the mastermind behind the LIBRA token scandal.  Attorney Gregorio Dalbon told the Buenes Aires radio station Pagina 12 AM 750 that he thinks Karina Milei is the LIBRA scam “mastermind” and that, “the president is the necessary participant, without whom the scam would never have happened.” According to Dalbon, both siblings won’t “speak ill” of Hayden Davis as he handles the profits from the “fraud” they allegedly committed together.  Es simple Hugo. Davis es Milei. Fin de la historia. Los demás son cómplices coautores y encubridores. LA SOCIEDAD ES DAVIS-MILEI. LA PLATA ES KARINA. La cuenta está en EEUU en una sociedad. Taiano no lo hará nunca.

All-time high hashrates and mining difficulty indicates that miners are bullish on Bitcoin, while recent sell-offs could be a means to hedge positions. Bitcoin (BTC) mining companies are employing derisking strategies by offloading Bitcoin to exchanges, according to a market report from Bitfinex.
