Recent trade tensions between the U.S. and China have impacted global financial markets, including cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin saw a decline below $74,000, while alternative digital assets faced steeper losses. Analysts from CryptoQuant point out that prolonged market pressure may create buying opportunities for altcoins. According to researcher Darkfost, historical data suggests a potential buying phase is emerging. 30-day trading volume has dipped below the yearly average, signifying reduced activity and creating conditions for strategic accumulation. This pattern was seen in September 2023, coinciding with the market’s eventual rebound after a prolonged low-volume phase.
