Altcoins have been under sustained pressure for months as the broader crypto 
market continues to grapple with a prolonged bear phase that began after the 
2021 bull cycle. While Bitcoin has managed to preserve a portion of its macro 
uptrend, most alternative cryptocurrencies have struggled to regain momentum, 
with many still trading far below their previous cycle highs. This persistent 
weakness reflects declining liquidity, fading investor appetite for 
speculative assets, and an increasing concentration of capital in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Floor According to a recent CryptoQuant report, understanding the 
condition of altcoins has become just as important as tracking Bitcoin’s price 
movements when evaluating the overall health of the crypto market. One 
indicator that provides insight into this dynamic is the “Altcoins Near ATL” 
metric, which measures the percentage of altcoins currently trading close to 
their all-time low levels. In this framework, altcoins refer to all 
cryptocurrencies excluding Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins. The chart, 
developed by CryptoQuant Verified Author Darkfost, highlights the scale of the 
current market stress. Data shows that approximately 38% of altcoins are 
trading near their historical lows. In practical terms, nearly four out of ten 
altcoins are hovering close to their weakest price levels since launch. Such 
readings typically emerge during periods of extreme market stress, when risk 
appetite deteriorates and investors rotate capital toward larger, more 
established assets. Extreme ATL Readings Reflect Stress Across the Altcoin 
Market The report explains that elevated readings in the “Altcoins Near ATL” 
metric typically emerge during periods of intense market stress. When a large 
percentage of altcoins trade close to their all-time lows, it signals that 
many assets are locked in prolonged downtrends and that investor sentiment 
toward higher-risk cryptocurrencies has deteriorated significantly. A major 
factor behind this dynamic is the concentration of capital in Bitcoin. 
Institutional inflows—particularly through spot Bitcoin ETFs—have increasingly 
drawn liquidity toward BTC, leaving many smaller tokens struggling to attract 
fresh demand. As more capital flows into Bitcoin, the relative share of 
investment directed toward altcoins shrinks. Related Reading: Post-Crash 
Purge: XRP’s 60% Valuation Reset Meets a Record Low in Exchange Liquidity At 
the same time, the number of cryptocurrencies available in the market has 
expanded rapidly in recent years. This growing supply of tokens intensifies 
competition for capital, meaning that liquidity is spread across a larger 
universe of assets. As a result, many projects fail to secure sustained 
investor interest, increasing the likelihood of prolonged price declines. 
Macroeconomic conditions also contribute to this environment. Higher interest 
rates and tighter liquidity conditions tend to reduce risk appetite across 
financial markets. Under such circumstances, investors typically rotate toward 
larger and more established assets while speculative tokens face stronger 
selling pressure. Historically, however, extreme ATL readings have sometimes 
appeared near the later stages of market cycles, when selling pressure is 
already largely absorbed. Altcoins Struggle To Hold Key Support The weekly 
chart of the total cryptocurrency market capitalization excluding the top 10 
assets highlights the prolonged weakness across the broader altcoin sector. 
Currently sitting near $170 billion, this segment of the market remains 
significantly below the peaks recorded during previous cycles, reflecting the 
sustained underperformance of smaller cryptocurrencies. After reaching highs 
near $450 billion in early 2022, the altcoin market experienced a steep 
decline during the broader bear market that followed the collapse of several 
major crypto firms and tightening global liquidity. Although the sector staged 
a recovery throughout 2024 and early 2025—briefly pushing market 
capitalization back toward the $400 billion region—momentum faded again in 
late 2025, leading to the current downturn. Related Reading: The $73,000 Test: 
Crowded Shorts And Negative Funding Fueled Bitcoin’s 15% Recovery Technically, 
the market cap is now trading below the 50-week and 100-week moving averages, 
both of which are sloping downward and acting as resistance levels. The 
200-week moving average sits near the $200 billion region, forming a critical 
structural level that altcoins have recently lost. This breakdown reinforces 
the broader bearish structure that has persisted across much of the sector. 
From a structural perspective, the chart continues to display a pattern of 
lower highs and declining momentum. Unless the market can reclaim the 
$200–$220 billion region, altcoins may remain trapped in a prolonged 
consolidation phase while liquidity continues to concentrate in larger assets 
such as Bitcoin. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

On-chain data shows the amount of XRP supply sitting underwater has shot up to 
historically high levels following the recent market downturn. 36.8 Billion 
Tokens Of The Asset Are Currently Being Held At A Loss In a new post on X, on- 
chain analytics firm Glassnode has shared an update on the latest trend in the 
XRP Total Supply in Loss. This metric measures, as its name suggests, the 
total amount of the cryptocurrency&#8217;s supply that&#8217;s currently in a state of net 
unrealized loss. The indicator works by checking the on-chain history of each 
coin in circulation to find what price it was last moved at. If the last 
transaction price was more than the current spot price for any token, then 
that particular coin is in a state of loss. The Total Supply in Loss adds up 
all tokens satisfying this condition. Related Reading: Bitcoin Big-Money On 
The Move: Exchange Whale Ratio Spikes To 0.6 A counterpart indicator called 
the Total Supply in Profit takes care of the supply of the opposite type (that 
is, the coins with a cost basis lower than the latest spot price). Now, here 
is the chart shared by the analytics firm that shows the trend in the 7-day 
exponential moving average (EMA) of the XRP Total Supply in Loss over the last 
few years: As shown in the graph above, the XRP Total Supply in Loss fell to a 
relatively low level in 2025, but in the last quarter of the year, the metric 
rose. The trend change came as the cryptocurrency sector as a whole saw the 
start of a bearish phase. Today, the Total Supply in Loss has a value of 36.8 
billion XRP. From the chart, it&#8217;s visible that this is a relatively high level 
when compared to the past, with it being surpassed only once before in the 
current cycle. The picture is a bit different when the indicator is 
denominated in USD terms. As shown in the above chart, the USD version of the 
XRP Total Supply in Loss set a peak higher than any witnessed in the past few 
years during the latest market downturn. This suggests that the capital 
invested in the cryptocurrency has gone up by magnitudes as the years have 
passed. Currently, supply worth around $50 billion is in a state of loss on 
the blockchain. Related Reading: Bitcoin Faces On-Chain Air Gap To $81,000:

will reach a bottom in the near future. XRP Price At the time of writing, XRP 
is floating around $1.35, down over 0.5% in the last 24 hours. Featured image
