Analytics firm Santiment says the majority of altcoins look set to ignite rallies after a month-long crypto correction. Santiment says that the ongoing marketwide pullback has driven many altcoin traders to unload their stacks and incur heavy losses. “According to our model, the mid-term gains and losses by average wallets indicate heavy realized losses across most altcoins. Over 85% of assets we track are in a historic opportunity zone when calculating the market value to realized value (MVRV) of wallets’ collective returns over one-month, three-month and six-month cycles.” The MVRV is an on-chain indicator used to assess whether a crypto asset is undervalued or overvalued. With the MVRV hovering at prime opportunity zones across multiple time frames for most altcoins, the analytics firm says that alts may be in a “historic position” to witness rallies. “It may be justified to buy while there is growing fear seeping in from the crowd after all of these market

The Dogwifhat price has dipped 13% in the past 24 hours to trade for $2.9369 as of 07:33 a.m. EST. It follows the broader trend in the market, as altcoins follow the Bitcoin (BTC) price lower. While most altcoins are dumping, the sentiment is worse among meme coins, with some dropping by double-digits. According to one analyst, @CredibleCrypto on X, the dump in the Dogwifhat price is attributed to interplay between WIF’s trading volume and open interest. The analyst says that the outlook of these metrics hints at a possible crash coming, if history repeats or rhymes. @CredibleCrypto’s target objective is a fall of nearly 50% to $1.50. $WIF has retraced back to the point of breakdown, while OI has risen right back to the levels it was at prior to the last liquidation flush. A move down of the same magnitude as the last (which is certainly possible due to similar levels of OI) puts us at ~$1.50.
