TOTAL2

Atualizado
Hi Folks,

What is TOTAL2?

🔺For our new members:

--Total: It is the data that shows the total value of the entire cryptocurrency market.
--Total2: It is the data that shows the total value of all altcoins (excluding Bitcoin).

🔺Our Total2 data reached a record high of $1.70 trillion during the previous rally, followed by a sell-off wave that led to a drop to a local low of $435 billion.

🔺During this period, we witnessed many altcoins being delisted from the market or experiencing drpos of up to 90% in value, which was quite painful to watch.

🔺Technically speaking, we can say that this data set, which broke the downtrend, exhibited a consolidation performance in the first half of 2023.

🔺While tracking TOTAL2, we should not forget about stablecoins. It would be overly optimistic to say that the money exiting Bitcoin will flow into altcoins because we are currently not in a "bull rally" phase. The money leaving Bitcoin can also enter stablecoins.

🔺In the previous paragraph, I want to convey the following: It is now overly optimistic to say that if BTC.D (Bitcoin dominance) decreases, altcoins will rise. The money leaving Bitcoin may enter stablecoins, which could cause an increase in the TOTAL2 data, but it does not necessarily mean that altcoins will increase.

Things to Know Before Investing

🔺In the second part of this article, we will discuss what needs to be known before making investments.

🔺First and foremost, we are currently in a consolidation zone from a technical standpoint, as you can see on the chart. The decisions of the Federal Reserve (Fed) will directly affect this consolidation process. Especially on the day this article was written, there is an 80% probability of a 0.25 basis point interest rate hike at the next Fed meeting.

🔺Even if the Fed ends the interest rate hike process, experts predict that interest rates will remain high until 2024, and 10-year bond yields are already above 3.50%. While interest rates are at such high levels, it is still too early to expect a significant bull season for risk assets.

🔺As if the Fed alone is not enough trouble, we also have the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) going after altcoins. In recent days, the SEC filed lawsuits against both Binance US and Coinbase. However, to understand these lawsuits most simply, it is necessary to look at the Ripple case, which has been fighting against the SEC for years. The outcome of this case is likely to set a precedent.

🔺There is one important thing not to be forgotten: Even ETH was distributed/sold at very cheap prices to raise the necessary funds during its initial sale (approximately 16%). Unfortunately, this harsh reality exists for altcoins, and unreliable projects are prone to failure. Bitcoin, on the other hand, stands apart from altcoins as it never had an initial sale. We will address this topic again in another article.

Technical Data

🔺Altcoins haven't died; they are struggling to survive and providing buy-and-sell opportunities with high-profit margins to investors who use the right channels.

🔺Looking at TOTAL2, we can see that the downtrend was broken in January 2023, and it is consolidating and gathering strength before the next bull rally.

🔺$1.06 trillion is a critical pivot (fib 0.5). If there are closing prices above this level, we can say that the bull market has arrived. Otherwise, it will still present reasonable profit opportunities but will remain a reaction rally.

🔺Additionally, during the 2017-2018 rally, there were around 1,000 (let's leave the exact number to those who remember) altcoins, whereas currently there are over 25,000 altcoins. Choosing the right altcoin is crucial when there is a significant amount of money in the market. The number of slices in the cake has increased at least 25 times.

🔺Currently, the TOTAL2 data is testing the "AlphaTrend Sell Zone" resistance at $540 billion. If there are no closing prices above this level, selling pressure could increase.

🔺While the MACD generates buy signals, the RSI is struggling to break the 50-point resistance on the daily chart. If the RSI can close above 50 points, we can anticipate an acceleration in the upward momentum; otherwise, we expect increased selling pressure.

🔺Bitcoin dominance continues to increase. Closing prices above 50.15 points can push Bitcoin dominance up to 54 points, which is expected to hinder the strengthening of the TOTAL2 data.

🔺In the past month, we witnessed Bitcoin dominance surpassing Ethereum dominance. But why?

🔺In its simplest form, we can say that the applications for spot ETFs for Bitcoin have played a role in this.
