<p>The recent Ethereum rally has reignited interest in the altcoin market, according to Bitfinex analysts. The standout crypto could well be laying the groundwork for a new altcoin season.</p>

<p>The value of <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-ethereum-causes-a-quake-with-its-defi-rally/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum has soared</a> in recent weeks, reaching its highest level in 22 months. This rapid ascent can be explained by several positive catalysts.</p>

<p>On one hand, the growing prospect of the approval of the first <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/etf-ethereum-spot-the-us-sec-reveals-the-date/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum spot ETF</a> in the United States is galvanizing investors. On the other hand, the major technical update “Dencun” scheduled for this summer, is fueling desires.</p>
<p>As a result, despite some fluctuations, the second-largest crypto has remained anchored beyond the $3,000 mark. A spectacular performance, especially after several months of underperformance compared to Bitcoin.</p>
<p>Ethereum is regaining its luster and could pull other altcoins in its wake, benefiting from this renewed momentum.</p>

<h2 id="h-bitcoin-s-dominance-fading">Bitcoin’s Dominance Fading</h2>
<p>This new upward trend of Ethereum is reflected in the <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/bitcoin-continues-its-ascent-and-reaches-57000-crypto-analysis-of-february-27-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">market dominance of Bitcoin</a>. After peaking at nearly 55% last December, the supremacy of the king of cryptos has eroded to around 51%.</p>
<p>In the past, a marked decline in BTC’s leadership below the symbolic 50% threshold has often paved the way for a rise of altcoins. For instance, Bitcoin’s long rally from early 2018 to mid-2019 gave way to a period of consolidation ripe for the soaring of alternative cryptos.</p>
<p>Thus, the fact that Bitcoin’s grip has fallen below this psychological threshold of 50% could herald an upcoming resurgence of altcoins, according to <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/investors-shift-focus-to-altcoins-as-ethereum-leads-market-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">analysts</a> at Bitfinex. The crown of the king could crack and benefit alternative cryptos.</p>
<h2 id="h-signals-are-green">Signals Are Green</h2>
<p>Several positive signals augur a new altcoin season. Notably, significant withdrawals of Ethereum from exchange platforms have been observed since January.</p>
<p>According to on-chain data, about 800,000 ETH, equivalent to $2.4 billion, have left exchanges this year. Proof of a supply shortage that could generate bullish pressure.</p>

<p>Combined with ETH’s newfound momentum, the potential approval of a spot ETF, and the erosion of BTC’s dominance, the stage seems set for a surge in altcoins.</p>
<p>The stars are aligning for the liftoff of the crypto-challenger market, starting with Ethereum. The coming weeks look exciting!</p>
<p>Astute investors would do well to keep an eye on the leaders of the altcoin caste, such as ETH, but also promising cryptos from DeFi. Substantial gains loom on the horizon.</p>
