AltCoinSeasonLaoding

The crypto market is on fire, and signs of a potential altcoin season are emerging on the horizon. Today we’ll update the spot market prices for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), Polygon (MATIC), and Chainlink (LINK), highlight key price movements, launches, and what major players are saying about the current market.

Price Movements and Asymmetries
The market is showing clear signs of an impending altcoin season. Bitcoin’s dominance is declining, while altcoins like Solana, Avalanche, and Chainlink exhibit asymmetric movements. Solana broke through the US$ 170 resistance with significant volume, signaling buyer control. Avalanche and Polygon also show strength with double-digit gains, while Chainlink, despite its recent correction, maintains strong upward momentum due to strategic partnerships, such as its integration with BlackRock’s US$ 3 billion tokenized fund on the Avalanche network.
A notable asymmetric move was a whale selling 356,665 LINK tokens, generating US$ 4.59 million, which triggered a temporary 12.27% drop. Analysts believe that if the US$ 13.12 support holds, LINK could target US$ 45 in the medium term.

Launches and Hype
The crypto ecosystem is buzzing with new developments:
Solana: The announcement of Solana Mobile 2.0, a Web3-focused smartphone with native wallet and dApp integration, is generating significant excitement. Pre-sales start in August, boosting hype around SOL.Ethereum: The highly anticipated Ethereum 3.0 upgrade is in its final testing phase, promising improved scalability and lower gas fees, reigniting interest in ETH-based DeFi projects.Avalanche: Its integration with BlackRock’s tokenized fund and partnership with ANZ strengthen its position in the DeFi market.Polygon: New scalability initiatives for Ethereum, including partnerships with companies like Twitter, are driving MATIC’s momentum.Chainlink: The CCIP protocol integration on Solana’s mainnet and partnerships with institutions like JPMorgan are solidifying LINK’s leadership in oracles.Emerging Projects: Arbitrum and Optimism, layer-2 solutions, announced developer incentives with airdrops planned for Q3, creating market buzz.
What the Big Players Are Saying
Market sentiment is cautiously optimistic:
@CryptoWhale (X): “BTC dominance is dropping, and altcoin volume is rising. Solana, LINK, and AVAX are my bets for the next altcoin season.”Mike Novogratz (Galaxy Digital): In a recent interview, Novogratz noted that “the market is ripe for altcoins, with Solana and Ethereum leading institutional adoption.”PlanB: The Stock-to-Flow model creator predicts Bitcoin could hit US$ 120,000 soon but acknowledges that “altcoins like SOL and LINK tend to outperform in bullish cycles.”@CryptoBearX (X): Warns of a possible correction if Bitcoin fails to break US$ 120,000 but sees potential in fundamentally strong altcoins like Polygon and Avalanche.
What to Expect?
The market is in a transitional phase, with Bitcoin’s declining dominance and rising altcoin volume pointing to the start of an altcoin season. Solana, Avalanche, Polygon, and Chainlink are leading the charge, driven by strong fundamentals and catalysts like partnerships and technological upgrades. However, volatility persists, as seen in the recent LINK whale sale. Keep an eye on macroeconomic movements and project announcements, which could set the market’s pace.
