The global cryptocurrency market cap surged by more than $116 billion in the past 24 hours, marking one of the strongest single-day expansions in months. Investor sentiment is heating up across the board, fueled by Ethereum’s breakout above $4,600 and a wave of gains among top altcoins.
Excluding stablecoins, the top performers over the last seven days show a clear trend: altcoins are stealing the spotlight.
Ethereum’s push beyond $4,600 marks a critical psychological and technical level. With strong institutional interest and a bullish market structure, ETH’s breakout could act as the trigger for a broader altseason.
Historically, Ethereum-led rallies often see capital flow into other large-cap and mid-cap altcoins, amplifying gains across the sector. The latest moves from SOL, DOGE, ADA, and LINK suggest that rotation may already be underway.
