Altcoin Momentum Hinges on Bitcoin's $78K Test

Bitcoin has been stuck in a rangebound phase near $79,470.93, creating an opportunity for altcoins to gain momentum, according to trader @CryptoMichNL.

The price action is eyeing a test of the $78K level, which could lead to long positions being taken, but a break lower would target $74K immediately, and holding that level could set up another leg higher for altcoins.

The technical indicators are flashing neutral signals, with the RSI at 48.94, while the price is testing the upper Bollinger resistance at $80,758.36.

This setup has implications for BTC price prediction models and guards against any sudden crypto market crash signals in the current consolidation phase.
