According to the analyst, This ratio is now directly above trend support that has held for almost a decade. Interestingly, the long-term chart shared by the analyst shows repeated historical interactions with this ascending channel, where previous touches of the lower bound led to major rotations towards altcoins.
At the time of writing, the OTHERS/BTC ratio has been compressing for the past few months without any clear sign of a directional breakout. Altcoin dominance has been falling within an increasingly tight range, approaching the lower trend line as volatility continues to deplete.
However, instead of interpreting the current compression as weakness, the analyst noted that the price is respecting a decade-long geometric structure without a breakout. Cryptollica described this configuration not as a graveyard but as a rotation point rather than a graveyard. Therefore, traders declaring altcoins dead are reacting to fatigue, not structure. The market is behaving like a loaded spring and store energy.

Not only that, but the bullish Others/BTC MACD cross has now been confirmed. History shows that this type of signal has always corresponded to the early stages of altcoin recovery, especially when it appears after long periods of underperformance.
Ash Crypto also noted that the ISM index broke back above the 50% level as another bullish sign for altcoins. This ISM pullback above 50% is notable because this macro indicator has repeatedly coincided with improving conditions for altcoins in previous cycles.
Confirmation of momentum in OTHERS/BTC and a hold above decade-old support strengthens the case that the current altcoin pause may be less about weakness and more about forward positioning. for an upcoming altcoin season.
