Zach Pand, head of research at Grayscale, the world’s largest digital asset company, made important assessments regarding altcoins.
Accordingly, Zach Pandl stated that a bottom may now be forming in major altcoins.
In a recent blog post, Pandl noted that leading altcoins in the cryptocurrency market have significantly retreated from their all-time highs reached last year.
However, this situation may be starting to change. Altcoins have shown resilience in the face of recent events. This resilience indicates that downward pressure is beginning to lessen, which could signal the formation of a bottom.
Macroeconomic Environment is Bad, But Altcoins Show Strength!
Pandl also noted that several events, such as the war in the Middle East, the increasing risk of inflation in the US, and rising oil prices, have worsened the macroeconomic environment, but altcoins have not experienced a major collapse and have remained strong.
“The macroeconomic environment may be bad, but prices aren’t collapsing. Altcoins have been performing quite well in the challenging macroeconomic environment over the past month. Despite what’s happened, they’ve remained strong. This could be a bottoming-out signal for altcoins. But only time will tell if a bottom has formed.”
Pandl also noted that while altcoin prices have fallen recently due to negative events, the market is not panicking. This could indicate reduced selling pressure and the formation of a bottom.
A Grayscale executive suggested that some investors might want to wait for clearer catalysts for altcoin investments. However, he added that longer-term investors could take advantage of current levels.
Pandl said, “If you have some patience for the markets to trade in a narrower range and experience some volatility in the short term, these levels could potentially be very attractive entry points.”
