Legacy Altcoins Ignite with Massive Gains as Capital Rotates from Bitcoin
In a surprise market shift, Ethereum Classic (ETC),Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Dogecoin (DOGE), and other so-called “dinosaur coins” have surged, sparking renewed interest in the altcoin season. These legacy digital assets—most of which debuted before 2017—are rallying strongly on the back of increased trading volume, leverage, and renewed retail participation.
Ethereum Classic led the charge with a 20% breakout, climbing above the key $20.27 resistance level. It now eyes $25.00 as the next critical hurdle—a price it failed to maintain during last year’s attempt.
The rally follows Bitcoin’s consolidation near all-time highs, encouraging capital rotation into older altcoins. ETC’s daily trading volume spiked 212%, reaching $756 million. This indicates genuine interest backed by liquidity, rather than just speculative noise.
Dogecoin, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash Reclaim Investor Attention
DOGE, BCH, and Litecoin (LTC) also posted notable double-digit gains. Dogecoin’s open interest surged, reflecting growing speculative trading, while Litecoin’s rise is partially attributed to MEI Pharma’s $100 million LTC investment fund, with founder Charlie Lee joining its board.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin Cash rallied past $510, returning to levels last seen in 2021, and Dogecoin approached $0.24, reentering territory that excited retail traders during the previous bull cycle.
This synchronized move across older assets suggests an organized rotation rather than a random pump—a hallmark of traditional altcoin season behavior.
Uniswap Joins the Rally as Speculative Appetite Grows
Though newer than its peers, Uniswap (UNI) climbed 20% with volume exceeding $1.7 billion. UNI broke key resistance levels at $8.11 and $10.33 and now targets $12.09, a zone where sellers previously pushed back hard.
This indicates a return of high-risk appetite among crypto traders, many of whom are chasing quick upside while Bitcoin remains in a tight range between $110,000 and $124,000.
Altcoin Season or Cycle Peak? Market Divided
Analysts remain divided on whether this surge signals the start of a prolonged altcoin rally or if it reflects late-cycle profit-seeking behavior. A breakout in BTC above $124K could extend this momentum, but a pullback below $110K might trigger leveraged liquidations and rapid sell-offs.
If capital rotation continues, traders may ride this trend for weeks. But caution is warranted, as historical cycles show such rallies can precede broader corrections.
