A broadly adopted crypto analyst says that Bitcoin (BTC) continues to be the very best play for crypto market members regardless of per week that noticed altcoins spike in worth.
In a brand new technique session, Benjamin Cowen tells his 781,000 YouTube subscribers that altcoins are dangerous whilst their costs surge as a result of he believes the Bitcoin Dominance index (BTC.D) will rise no matter which path BTC takes.
The BTC.D chart tracks how a lot of the full crypto market capitalization belongs to Bitcoin. A bullish BTC Dominance suggests Bitcoin is rising quicker than different crypto belongings, or altcoins are shedding worth whereas the main crypto surges. In a bearish situation, a rising BTC Dominance signifies that altcoins are falling quicker than Bitcoin.
Says Cowen,
“Whether or not [BTC] breaks out or whether or not it breaks down, the [BTC] dominance ought to go up both means. That’s the thesis: that Bitcoin dominance ought to go up no matter whether or not Bitcoin breaks up or breaks down…
Ever since we acquired began in 2022, I mentioned altcoins are simply merely not well worth the threat in comparison with Bitcoin… I don’t assume they’re well worth the threat but [but] it doesn’t imply that a few of them haven’t bottomed out on their USD pairs.”
Not solely is BTC’s dominance degree locked in to ascend, however Cowen additionally says Bitcoin is the higher play for traders as it is going to entice much less consideration from regulators.
Nevertheless, he notes that altcoins might begin to flourish by the beginning of 2024 or the tip of this yr.
“Bitcoin stays the higher play when it comes to your risk-adjusted return, so for the danger you’re taking over, Bitcoin stays the higher play now. From a basic motive why may that be? I believe rules…
Bitcoin isn’t going to have the identical sort of regulatory scrutiny that the altcoin market has, and I believe 2023 might be going to be a troublesome yr for altcoins within the context of those rules. As soon as we get to 2024 and perhaps even late 2023, I’m gonna take off my maxi hat and I’ll most likely [get] again into the altcoin market.”
