Crypto analyst Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe believes altcoins are beginning to gain momentum after trailing Bitcoin\u2019s recent rally by several weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a post shared on X on May 11, Van de Poppe explained that altcoins are typically one to three weeks behind Bitcoin\u2019s movements. He suggested that once they catch up, they could deliver significantly larger percentage gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the analyst, if Bitcoin has already climbed roughly 40% from its recent lows, altcoins could potentially record gains ranging between 100% and 300%, depending on market momentum and liquidity conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altcoins Showing Early Breakout Signals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van de Poppe, who remains one of the more closely watched analysts in the crypto market, said the current setup follows a familiar pattern where Bitcoin rallies first before capital rotates into alternative cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stated that the market now appears to be entering the stage where altcoins begin accelerating faster than Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crypto trader Mark Chadwick echoed a similar view, saying altcoins are displaying some of the strongest bullish signals seen in years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chadwick pointed to a breakout from a major falling wedge formation and described last week\u2019s market candles as some of the strongest breakout moves in a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, this type of setup has historically marked the beginning of major altcoin rallies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also noted that broader market conditions are strengthening the bullish outlook, including improving liquidity, record highs in the Russell 2000 index, and growing progress surrounding the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attention is now turning to the Senate Banking Committee meeting scheduled for May 14, where lawmakers are expected to revisit the crypto market structure bill after earlier delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House has also reportedly urged Congress to accelerate action on crypto legislation. Chadwick argued that clearer regulations could attract substantial institutional investment into digital assets, potentially pushing the market to a much larger scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van de Poppe Reveals Personal Altcoin Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van de Poppe also shared details about his personal altcoin portfolio. He disclosed that he has invested a total of $160,000, with the portfolio currently valued at around $78,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the portfolio remains down roughly 50% from his original entry point, he noted that it has recovered significantly from a previous decline of about 75%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The analyst said he plans to invest an additional $40,000 in four separate monthly allocations through September 1 before stopping further purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained that he believes the market has already formed its bottom and now wants to focus on compounding returns instead of deploying more fresh capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broader Crypto Market Begins Improving<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van de Poppe\u2019s outlook comes as the wider crypto market continues showing signs of recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading around $81,000 after remaining relatively stable over the past 24 hours, posting only a modest 0.1% gain according to CoinGecko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altcoins, however, delivered stronger performances over the weekend, with several mid cap cryptocurrencies recording notable rallies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ONDO and JUP both surged more than 20% within a single day, while NEAR, ARB, and ICP also moved higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethereum remained near the $2,300 level despite falling around 2.4% over the previous 24 hours. XRP traded close to $1.45 after earlier reaching a three week high near $1.50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solana also continued its upward momentum, climbing roughly 11% over the week to trade around $95.#crypto#cryptonews https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
