$BTC Recent figures reveal a sharp decline in almost all sectors of altcoins in recent months. *Ethereum*, in particular, has been one of the most affected, losing more than 60% of its value since the end of December. This brutal drop fuels fears of a true bear market for alternative cryptocurrencies. In light of this persistent trend, investors and analysts remain cautious, watching for any sign of a possible rebound… or a new wave of massive sell-offs.
