Crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader has identified a 'multi-year cup and handle' pattern in altcoin charts, signaling a potential breakout phase. Bitcoin dominance is consolidating below a key trendline, a pattern that historically preceded significant altcoin rallies, such as the one in 2021. Analysts highlight that the RSI has broken its long-term downtrend, and the price structure is 'coiling,' suggesting early momentum in favor of altcoins. On-chain data and macroeconomic factors, including the upcoming FOMC meeting, are being monitored for further catalysts.
