- Ondo, along with Flare and Bittensor, saw significant gains following President Trump’s tariff pause, with Ondo rising 18.37% to $0.8580.
- The altcoins are gaining traction as potential outperformers in the market, though Bitcoin’s dominance remains a key factor in their future performance.
The cryptocurrency market witnessed an impressive rally in altcoins on Thursday, as a surprising tariff pause by President Donald Trump fueled optimism. Leading the charge were Flare (FLR), Ondo (ONDO), and Bittensor (TAO), all showing remarkable gains. The pause in tariffs, particularly after their sudden implementation, has left traders and analysts speculating whether altcoins might finally outperform Bitcoin in the coming months.
Flare: A Bullish Trend in the Midst of Volatility
Flare emerged as one of the top performers, posting a 26% increase in just 24 hours. Trading at $0.0145, Flare’s recovery came after a dip to $0.0108, where it found support. The asset’s bullish momentum was validated by a positive signal from the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and a recovery in the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which bounced above the oversold region. Although the token has encountered resistance around $0.0187, the ongoing bullish sentiment suggests that Flare could break through this barrier if the current momentum holds.
Ondo: Poised for a Potential Breakout
Ondo is another altcoin seeing notable growth, with an 18.37% increase on Thursday, bringing its price to $0.8580. Ondo is currently trading just above the middle line of a descending channel, with a breakout target near $1.47 if it can push past the resistance at the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Technical indicators, including a positive MACD crossover and a bullish RSI, signal a growing upward trend. However, the resistance around the 50-day EMA remains a critical obstacle. Failure to break this resistance could lead to a pullback toward the channel’s middle line.
Bittensor: Eyes on a 50% Breakout
Bittensor, a token linked to artificial intelligence, has also been experiencing a surge, climbing 20% to trade at $236. The token’s price action has shown a falling wedge pattern, suggesting a potential 50% breakout. If Bittensor breaks out of this pattern, it could reach a price target of $393. However, resistance from key moving averages, including the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day EMAs, may limit further price increases. Still, with the support of a bullish MACD signal and an RSI heading toward neutral territory, Bittensor appears poised for further gains.
Can Altcoins Outperform Bitcoin in Q2?
The question on many traders’ minds is whether altcoins can sustain this bullish momentum and outperform Bitcoin in Q2. While Bitcoin experienced a quick rally to $83,588, its gains quickly plateaued, and it is currently trading at $82,200. With Bitcoin’s dominance at 62%, altcoins like Flare, Ondo, and Bittensor have proven they can offer strong recovery potential. However, whether they can continue to outperform Bitcoin will depend heavily on macroeconomic factors, including the evolving tariff situation and broader market sentiment.
As altcoins show stunning recoveries, traders and analysts will be keeping a close eye on how these assets perform in the weeks ahead, especially if Bitcoin struggles to maintain its upward trajectory.
