70% of altcoins recover 200-day average, outperform BTC

Seventy percent of Binance-listed altcoins have regained their 200-day moving average, a key trend indicator, and are showing stronger momentum than BTC, according to a CryptoQuant analysis by contributor Darkfost. The share marks the highest level since October 2025, when the market peaked. Altcoin market capitalization excluding ETH, or TOTAL3, has also surpassed $800 billion for the first time in about eight months. BTC, meanwhile, has been moving sideways in the recent $75,600-$82,000 range, with trading volume shifting toward altcoins, Darkfost said. Darkfost added that while the altcoin market is showing positive momentum, caution is needed as conditions can change quickly.
