The altcoin market has been playing a dangerous game with liquidity. Recently, we saw a sweep of stops below the previous week’s low (PWL), yet the market curiously left the liquidity untouched beneath the January 13th low and, even further back, December’s low at $288B. This raises a critical question: Are we heading lower, or is this the ultimate bottom?
Liquidity Gaps & Market Intent
Market makers often hunt for liquidity to fuel the next move. The stops below the PWL were taken, but if BTC makes a final dip to $95,950, it could trigger a broader sell-off in the altcoin market. This scenario would likely drag total altcoin market capitalization (TOTAL3) down to that untouched liquidity at $288B.
If we do see this flush, it could set up the Ultimate Bottom for alts—a true capitulation before a reversal. However, if the market turns up from here without revisiting that level, it would mean buyers have stepped in early, proving market expectations wrong.
Key Levels to Watch
- BTC at $95,950 – If BTC dips to this level, alts could see one final shakeout.
- TOTAL3 at $288B – A strong candidate for the cycle bottom if BTC dips.
- Breakout Confirmation – If alts recover without sweeping $288B, it could signal hidden strength.
Final Thoughts
The market is at a critical juncture. Either we see a deeper flush into key liquidity pools, or buyers step in early, front-running the expected dip. If $288B holds, it could be the last major buying opportunity before the next leg up.
What do you think? Is the market wrong, or are we heading for one final shakeout? #Crypto #ALTS #BTC
