LIVEBitcoin and Altcoins: Why Are They Taking Different Paths?
Bitcoin has risen above 57 thousand dollars. This is its highest level since December 2021. However, during the rise of Bitcoin, we observe that altcoins are not rising at the same rate.
So, why don't altcoins rise when Bitcoin rises?
There are several reasons for this:
💡The market dominance of Bitcoin, that is, how much of the total value in the cryptocurrency market it constitutes, is on the rise. This shows that investors are investing more in Bitcoin and interest in altcoins is decreasing.
💡Regulations introduced by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in particular are affecting the performance of altcoins. The SEC has banned the buying and selling of coins that came out with ICOs. This reduced demand for altcoins and increased demand for Bitcoin.
💡 The rise of Bitcoin usually signals a rise in the overall cryptocurrency market. However, this does not always mean that altcoins will also rise. Altcoins can follow a different path due to their own fundamentals and dynamics.
In conclusion, the fact that the rise of Bitcoin and the rise of altcoins are not simultaneous is a result of the complex nature of the cryptocurrency market. Each coin has its own internal dynamics, use cases, and investor base, and these factors determine the price movements of the coin.
