Bulls pushed back and momentarily halted the increasing selling pressure impacting Cardano, Solana, and Ethereum. The altcoin market has been stabilizing over the last day, but fresh data points to potential issues in the short term.
As of this writing, Cardano (ADA) trades at $0.23 with sideways movement in the past day. Solana and Ethereum recorded similar price action over this period, but these assets have been slowly bleeding into support on the weekly chart.

In particular, Cardano, Solana, XRP, Ethereum, and other altcoins enjoyed a substantial rally in July. If Bitcoin can’t produce a catalyzer, something to push it above the 50% area in dominance, then Altcoins can see some profits.
Ethereum could potentially hold the key to propel altcoins into a hot season. On this…
