It's a pretty grim sight for altcoins at the moment.
Since the fall from grace last Friday, altcoin open interest has grinded down another $3 billion in total size while Bitcoin has fully unwound and retested its lows.
The picture for momentum looks bleak below ~$100k.

There is an immense amount of pain in the charts this year.
Bitcoin: Still up on the year but the Tariff crash earlier this year and the subsequent top blasting at $120k+ has been punishing
Ethereum: Marginally up on the year but again the Tariff crash for -75% before trading 3.5x and testing $5k+
Alts: Mixed bag but leaders like HYPE SOL and ENA have been whipsawed as well.
It’s been a trader’s year and a punishing year for medium time frame investors.
Biggest difference between the old and new is that BTC got tagged while gold has been surging.
A world where Bitcoin continues to unwind will be a very bleak sight for alts.

Last chart of the day, probably the most important.
Altcoin open interest (blue line, bottom) now back to levels seen last in April after tariffs began.
Altcoin open interest adjusted by market cap (teal line, middle, most important chart) now back to near multi-year lows.
The market is looking materially healthier even with Bitcoin still trading above $110k.
Painful days but these are the days that legends are made.
Enjoy your weekend.
Total3 without stablecoins is about 30% away from March lows when tariffs were the talk of the town.
I've been running regression trend lines for 5 years now on majors to determine long-term positioning especially after major deviations.
Things are getting interesting again for longer-term alts and spot BTC / ETH again.
