Altcoins survived everything thrown at crypto in 2026, and the altcoin market cap is now sitting just under a trillion dollars, right where it was in April 2021. In this video I zoom out on five to six years of compression, business cycle contraction and quantitative tightening, and explain why I think this is the moment to position in crypto while still managing risk.
We cover what altcoins survived this year alone, from tariff threats, the Iran war and rate hikes to the biggest exchange hack ever and the Clarity Act setback. Then we look at Bitcoin dominance and why a breakout could actually be good for altcoins based on last cycle, the altcoin (others) dominance chart after QT ended in December 2025, and Bitcoin (BTC) price action at the 200-day moving average around $74,000. I also cover the inverse head and shoulders, the RSI momentum trend, and the $72,000 to $67,000 support zone if Bitcoin dips further.
