Crypto Analyst Predicts Altcoin Surge Ahead of Halving

• Michaël van de Poppe sees altcoins as “significantly undervalued.”
• Poppe compares current altcoin market to pre-2016 Bitcoin halving period.
• Poppe predicts altcoin surge before Bitcoin halving, despite potential Fed impact.

Renowned crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe, known for his accurate predictions, believes that altcoins remain “significantly undervalued.” In a new update on X, Poppe observed that altcoins are gradually trending higher. He pointed out Chainlink as an example of an altcoin showing considerable robustness. Nonetheless, he thinks that the full onset of the altcoin season is still to come.

In a recent post on X, Poppe shared a link to his new YouTube video in which he analyzes the altcoin market. In it, he draws attention to the patterns emerging as we approach the halving event. He draws parallels between the current state of the altcoin market and the period leading up to the 2016 Bitcoin halving.

Poppe pointed out that while Bitcoin did not set a new record high before the 2016 halving, the overall market trajectory at that time was comparable to the current price movements. He observed a notable Bitcoin price surge before the halving, followed by a corresponding downturn.

Furthermore, Poppe posits that there’s still potential for a significant surge in altcoin value to occur before the halving in the wake of the recent Bitcoin price increase. He suggests that such a correction could pave the way for altcoins to surge in value, reinforcing the notion of altcoins being undervalued. Nonetheless, Poppe mentioned that upcoming macroeconomic figures from the U.S. Federal Reserve could influence the cryptocurrency market.

Poppe expressed his belief that the Federal Reserve will unlikely reduce interest rates. He anticipates that maintaining current rates could initially lead to a market decline, but ultimately, it would recover and benefit in the mid-term.

Poppe also observed that the total market capitalization for cryptocurrencies is nearing its previous highest level. He anticipates that there might be a stabilization period after the market’s recent rally before it resumes its upward trajectory. Despite this, he acknowledged Bitcoin’s significant influence within the cryptocurrency market, suggesting that Bitcoin’s dominance is approaching a peak that could occur before the halving, potentially resulting in a shift of capital that would favor altcoins.
