ETH tech analysis.
While BTC consolidates below its record high, prominent altcoins including ETH, XRP, Solana, and BNB have gained, keeping the cryptocurrency market positive.
BTC has ruled the crypto industry, making altcoin season elusive until now. Spot ETFs and corporate treasury adoption have focused institutions on Bitcoin.
Bitcoin trades between 118k and 120k after reaching a record high of 123k. It rose 10% in July but hasn't moved in 10 days. Ethereum is up 48% in July and 25% in the previous 10 days. Meanwhile, XRP has risen 26% in 10 days to new highs around $3.60. Like XRP. Solana rose 26% in the previous week and a half, reaching $200, while BNB reached an all-time high of 804, putting its market valuation beyond $110 billion.
Layer-1 blockchain tokens are driving the surge, suggesting a concentration on useful initiatives. Institutional and corporate demand are accelerating. ETH ETFs stole the show last week with $2.12 billion in inflows, nearly double their previous record.
This suggests cryptocurrency season is coming. Bitcoin Dominance is followed by Ethereum Season, when liquidity flows to Ethereum. Large-cap altcoins follow before the risk-on Altcoin Season, when low-cap alts go crazy.
Bitcoin dominance dropped about 6% last week to its lowest level since March, showing that traders are focusing on the wider cryptocurrency sector.
After its worst drop since June 2022, bitcoin dominance is slightly under 61%, lowest seen in March. BTC has stayed constant over the previous week, but crypto market valuation has climbed to $3.9 trillion from $3.09 trillion a month ago.
The psychological level and the 61.8% Fib retracement of the 4100, 2024 high and 1383, 2025 low provide support around 3000. Negating the upswing requires a breach below 2750.
