- A popular analyst believes that the Altcoin sector is in a “buying” area for mid-term investors right now
- The domination of BTC and USDT was not aligning entirely with such an increased perspective
The Altcoin sector recorded a sustained sale in early 2025, with the best cryptos like Solana (Sol) and Ethereum (ETH) loss of + 65% of their values. However, this could change shortly after a key indicator has flashed a purchase signal.
Cryptocurrency analyst Darkfost revealed Whether it’s the ideal moment to slowly enter Altcoin’s positions with a “halfway” perspective. In doing so, he quoted the positioning of the aggregated Altcoin trading volume.
“We entered a purchase zone, which is defined by the 30 -day mobile average decreasing from the annual average … The last time we reached these levels was in September 2023, just after the end of the bear market.”

In simple terms, the low readings of the indicator reflected the undervalued market conditions just before the explosion of the Altcoin sector at the end of 2023.
Therefore, the question – other signals from Momentum Altcoin agree with this particular perspective?
Evaluate the domination of Bitcoin and USDT
Some key indicators for altcoin momentum are the BTC (BTC.D) and the domination of Tether USDT (USDT.D).
During the Altcoin explosive race last November, USDT.D abandoned, which means that speculators exchanged stablecoins for their favorite Altcoin jewels. At the same time, this led to the rotation of BTC capital in Altcoins. Therefore, BTC.D fell.

However, in 2025, the BTC.D climbed to 63.5%, which suggests that the capital was parked in BTC from Altcoins. In addition, the USDT.D increased from 4% to 5.6%, stressing prudent merchants leak to Stablecoins to preserve the capital of prints in first quality.
On the basis of press time readings, it would seem that speculators did not want to jump in the Altcoin sector. However, this could change in a favorable macro environment.
That being said, the RSI thermal card and the funding rates revealed that the Altcoin sector was undervalued and had less foam (less lever). It seemed to be in accordance with the prospects of Darkfost.

At the end of 2024, funding rates reached 50 to 80% (orange), signaling a strong bullish feeling and an over-yeast effect. This often leads to net withdrawals in the event of liquidations. However, press financing rates were less than 10% on several altcoins, referring to a stable market that could rally positive catalysts.
However, it is worth noting that certain selected aberrant values have surpassed the BTC during last week and 30 days of negotiation. Onyxcoin (XCN) and Fartcoin have experienced more than 100% gains in last week. Others, such as Curve Dao (CRV), increased by almost 50% in the last month.
