The cryptocurrency market cap, excluding the top 10 coins, is maintaining a critical mid-range support level, suggesting potential for a new expansion phase. This support zone has historically been pivotal for broader altcoin cycles, and its current hold indicates possible long-term accumulation across mid-cap assets. Analysts note that the market cap ex top 10 has respected this support after years of accumulation and expansion cycles. The structure suggests that if this level continues to hold, it could lead to another upward movement, benefiting mid-cap and smaller altcoins. However, a breakdown below this zone could delay any potential rally, signaling a loss of support in this segment of the crypto market.
