Key Takeaways
What’s fuelling this dazzling carousel of altcoin whimsy?
In the wake of the FOMC’s grand monetary waltz, a sumptuous $80 billion pirouettes elegantly into altcoins, with ETH/BTC and the venerable high-caps like BNB sashaying past Bitcoin itself-capital chasing the intoxicating siren song of higher-beta seduction.
And what of Bitcoin, our stalwart digital lead balloon?
Bitcoin clings gallantly to $117k, squinting toward a tantalizing $120k, while its sprightlier altcoin cousins break into a fevered sprint-somewhere between a tango and a stomp dance.
Our market, ever the dance hall of folly, seems primed once more for a dizzying rotation.
On the fateful 17th of September, mere moments after the FOMC’s enigmatic chop, Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) took a modest tumble-a whimsical 1.08% pirouette down to 57.67%. This-the grandest one-day fainting spell after a trilogy of bullish bravado.
Meanwhile, TOTAL3 puffed its chest by +2.24%, strutting confidently into the $1.16 trillion arena, signaling altcoins’ buoyant ambition. Even the memecoins, those jesters of the crypto court, juggled a cheeky +5.20% leap, proving liquidity’s not above a bit of thrill-seeking mischief.
In plain speak: capital calisthenics are underway, pirouetting back to alternative assets with a dash of brazen flair.
Propelling this caper, the ETH/BTC ratio bounced +2.28%-a graceful recovery after four days’ sulking post a thwarted 0.04 breakout attempt. The pair now lounges at 0.039, practically beckoning a dramatic encore at that threshold.
AMBCrypto-not exactly the oracle of Delphi but close enough-suggests a decisive break would cement this altcoin charade. Yet, with the Altcoin Season Index flirting twice at the coveted 80 this week, one might say the kitchen’s already blazing.
Fed jitters ignite the $80 billion altcoin soiree
High-cap altcoins are outstripping Bitcoin this September as if sprinting from a bear’s hug.
Binance Coin [BNB], in particular, flexes an 18% surge (leaving Bitcoin’s modest 8.79% in the dust), cracking a whimsically fresh all-time high north of $1,000-because why not?
The BNB/BTC ratio doesn’t just poke its head out-it leaps +8%, majestically demonstrating that altcoins fancy themselves more than Ethereum’s shadow.
On-chain flows corroborate this scholastic fandango. Post-FOMC, BTC.D bowed out, while the total market cap ballooned past $4.07 trillion, merrily adding some $80 billion to the redux.
A neat 100% capital diversion into altcoins, despite the Fed’s cautious 25 basis point nod-go figure.
Simply put: post-FOMC’s risk kaleidoscope paints altcoins as the belle of the ball.
Still playing hard to get, Bitcoin clings to $117k with eyes peeled for $120k, but altcoins have slipped the leash, sprinting toward horizons beyond mere ETH buzz.
In sum: volatility thrills remain at a fever pitch, and altcoin season appears poised to hijack Q4 like an uninvited crypto bandit. 🎩🐇
