Altcoin Strength

Definition

Altcoin strength refers to the relative market performance of alternative cryptocurrencies compared to Bitcoin. This metric indicates whether capital is flowing from Bitcoin into other digital assets, or if altcoins are exhibiting independent price appreciation. It often signals a shift in market sentiment towards greater risk appetite or specific protocol interest beyond the dominant cryptocurrency. Analyzing altcoin strength involves evaluating market capitalization dominance, trading volumes, and individual asset price movements.
