Why Altcoins Crashed 58% While Bitcoin Barely Blinked
Why This Report Matters
The altcoin market has diverged sharply from Bitcoin—on average, the top 140 tokens are down 58% since their December 7, 2024 peak, while Bitcoin is flat to down just 3%.
In this report, we reveal the tactical indicator that flagged this underperformance and explain why monetary policy pivots and massive token unlocks have crushed altcoin sentiment.
You’ll learn why Bitcoin dominance has surged from 49% to 64%, why Ethereum and Solana slumped despite broader crypto gains, and how venture capital pressure compounds the selling pressure.
We unpack the macro, technical, and risk views to show why the trade remains clear: long Bitcoin, short altcoins.
Finally, we outline an actionable hedge strategy and pinpoint the catalysts that could overturn our thesis. (see also our report from January)

$JAGER is making moves on Binance Alpha.
@jager_BSC is one biggest talked about memes in the Chinese community (think Cheems but higher).
Why I'm eyeing $JAGER
- Team moves fast, $100-$200 airdrops to thousands of wallets in the first 72 hours with near instant listing on MEXC and more to follow
- Low-bar airdrop requirements giving free $ for https://t.co/kwoOMDgdYF and https://t.co/wtLhU57JdI activity
- Over $1.4M liquidity and ran to $60m MC, building support around $20m currently
Tokenomics:
- Supply: 14,600T (yes, TRILLION 😂 )
- Airdrop threshold: 1,460B (0.01% of supply, ~$1,930)
- Tax: 50% to holders, 20% LP, 16% burn, 14% team
Pro tip: Use “price priority” when selling, or you’ll get rekt by the tax.
Key dates: Days 1–7: Airdrop distribution (sell pressure incoming)
Days 7–14: Phase 2 LP rewards Post-Day 14: Full unlock = volatility city
If you listened to their AMA yesterday with @four_meme_ you know there's more heat coming. It's chinese meme coin and $BNB szn.
