Altcoin Boom

Definition

An Altcoin Boom signifies a period of substantial price increases and heightened trading activity across various alternative cryptocurrencies, excluding Bitcoin. This market event often follows Bitcoin price rallies, as investor capital shifts towards smaller, more volatile digital assets seeking higher returns. Such periods are characterized by rapid appreciation and increased public attention on a diverse range of blockchain projects. The phenomenon typically indicates a broader market optimism and a willingness to accept increased risk for potential rewards.
