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.
