Altcoins Gain Strength as Bitcoin Faces Short-Term Drop

The market is showing signs of strength in several altcoins despite Bitcoin's potential for a short-term drop.

Bitcoin charts suggest two possible paths: a dip into the late $70,000s to $81,000 zone followed by a bounce or a push higher first making a drop to the mid-$70,000s less likely.

Liquidity is building near $86,000 indicating choppy trade in the next two to three days. In both cases, a run toward $100,000 becomes the target once the shakeout ends.

Altcoins with buy setups include AVAX which has broken out and retested its weekly level putting $16 to $20 in view but a 20% pullback is possible so smaller entries make sense. NEAR's strong two-week run puts the mid to late $3 range as key support.
