According to LD Capital founder Jack Yi, the cryptocurrency bull market follows a rotational surging pattern, where BTC and ETH peak first, followed by mainstream mid-cap tokens like XRP, LTC, and UNI. Meme coins may experience a final surge, and active investment in specific projects can outperform the market and lead to higher returns.

The cryptocurrency market is witnessing a significant shift, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) leading the charge, followed by a surge in altcoins. According to LD Capital founder Jack Yi, the cryptocurrency bull market follows a rotational surging pattern, where BTC and ETH peak first, followed by mainstream mid-cap tokens like XRP, LTC, and UNI. Meme coins may experience a final surge, and active investment in specific projects can outperform the market and lead to higher returns [1].

Bitcoin is rapidly approaching the $120,000 mark, with altcoins collectively surpassing a $1 trillion market cap. This significant milestone indicates a pivotal shift in the dynamics of the crypto market, as investors increasingly diversify their portfolios beyond Bitcoin [1]. Altcoins such as Solana and Chainlink are gaining momentum, breaking key resistance levels. This surge is accompanied by a dip in Bitcoin's dominance, which has fallen below 61%. The TOTAL3 index, which excludes Bitcoin and Ethereum, recently surged 8.85%, breaking out of a prolonged falling wedge pattern. This breakout pushed the altcoin market cap to $1.02 trillion, a remarkable recovery from the 2023 lows of $278 billion [1].

Bitcoin's recent surge to $117,418, representing a 7.5% gain, underscores the growing market optimism for a sustained parabolic rally. Historical data analyzed by experts shows that Bitcoin's price has consistently followed a long-term exponential growth trendline since 2012. This pattern, characterized by steady appreciation followed by sharp upward spikes, suggests that the current market phase is poised for significant upward momentum [1].

Beyond Bitcoin’s momentum, the altcoin market is exhibiting robust strength. Ethereum’s market share has also increased to 11.2%, reinforcing its role as a foundational platform for decentralized finance and smart contracts. The growing participation of both institutional and retail investors is a key catalyst behind the altcoin surge. Projects with tangible real-world applications are attracting significant capital inflows, signaling a maturation of the crypto ecosystem [1].

Bitmine Immersion Technologies, a Bitcoin mining company backed by venture capitalist Peter Thiel, has made a significant strategic move by acquiring $1 billion worth of Ethereum. This acquisition positions the company as a potential leader in the Ethereum ecosystem, mirroring the approach taken by MicroStrategy in the Bitcoin market [2]. The move underscores a growing trend among institutional investors to diversify their cryptocurrency portfolios beyond Bitcoin, with Ethereum emerging as a favored alternative due to its smart contract capabilities and broader use cases.

The price of Ethereum (ETH) broke through the $3,458 mark, making investors shine. Then ETH hovered between $3,300-$3,421 and charged forward, but this made it difficult for investors to see the market clearly. Under this wave of growth, more and more investors choose to use ETH for real-world applications through the OurCryptoMiner platform. At present, the platform supports the use of ETH to start cloud mining contracts such as BTC and LET [3].

The current market structure, characterized by Bitcoin’s steady climb and altcoin breakout, mirrors previous bull cycles where consolidation phases precede explosive growth. Traders and analysts emphasize the importance of trendline support and volume confirmation as indicators of sustained momentum. While the market remains cautious, the alignment of technical signals and increased investor engagement suggests a favorable environment for continued gains. Market participants are advised to monitor key resistance levels and dominance metrics to gauge the evolving landscape [1].

The approaching $120K milestone for Bitcoin, coupled with altcoins surpassing a $1 trillion market cap, marks a significant inflection point in the crypto market. Institutional and retail investors are actively reallocating capital, driving a broad-based rally that could define the next phase of the bull run. While historical trends provide a framework for optimism, prudent risk management remains essential as the market navigates this dynamic period. Staying informed and responsive to market signals will be critical for capitalizing on emerging opportunities [1].
