The Trust Layer for Market Analysts

The analysis focuses on the total crypto market cap excluding Bitcoin (TOTAL2) and Ethereum (ETHUSD) over a five-year period, highlighting a pattern of consolidation and potential decline. The presenter observes a period of accumulation in late 2017 to early 2018, followed by a significant downturn throughout 2018 and into 2019. A subsequent recovery led to new highs, but the market has since entered a phase of sideways movement and potential decline. The presenter identifies a key resistance level around $3900 in May 2021, which the market has failed to surpass. Currently, ETHUSDT is trading around $2310. The analysis suggests that the broader altcoin market cap, excluding Bitcoin, has also experienced a similar pattern of expansion and contraction, with a significant sideways movement over the last 1600 days. The presenter notes that ETH has been outperforming potatoes in terms of investment returns, indicating a bearish sentiment towards ETH and the broader altcoin market in the short term, despite long-term potential.
