Which Altcoins Are More Likely To Catch The Bounce?:
(NewsBTC)
After one of its most brutal weekends, Bitcoin and most altcoins show signs of recovery in lower time frames. While most are still down by 30% and 40% in the 7-day and 30-day chart, the general sentiment in the market appears to be more bullish as investors see their charts flip from red to green.
Ethereum was probably one of the fastest altcoins to return from under a critical support zone at $1,700. The second cryptocurrency by market cap trades at $2,541 with a 2.6% profit in the daily chart and a 35.6% profit in the monthly chart.
Ethereum will undergo an update to its fee model with hard fork “London”. EIP-1559 will be implemented and ETH will become a deflationary asset. This has strengthened the theory amongst some users that ETH could become a more effective store of value than Bitcoin.
In the weeks before the crash, Ethereum was the only altcoin absorbing institutional interest from BTC-based investment products. In mid-May, while Bitcoin investment products saw outflows estimated at $98 million, Ethereum’s saw a $27 million worth of inflows.
For the first time, the second cryptocurrency by market cap saw more interest from institutions on this metric. CoinShares report stated the following: “that investors have been diversifying out of Bitcoin and into altcoin investment products”. As seen in the chart below, negative price performance in the crypto market has impacted the asset flows in the past week.

Besides Ethereum, Polygon (MATIC) has been the fastest to bounce with a 110% profit in the daily chart and an 81.4% rise against its Bitcoin pair. The project has received more attention from investors since its rebranding and climbed to the top 4 projects by Total Value Locked (TVL), according to data provided by DeFi Pulse.
