📈 Altcoins: Finally Showing Signs of a Bottom? Josh Olszewicz Breaks It Down
After months of pain, altcoins are starting to flash signs of life. In his latest market update, Josh Olszewicz explains why we may be at a turning point. Using Ichimoku Cloud analysis and other technical signals, he’s spotting actual confirmation that many alts have bottomed.
Let’s break it down.
🔍 TL;DR
-
Altcoins are finally flashing bullish reversal signals
-
Pepe, Soul, and SUI are leading the pack with strong setups
-
Stablecoin supply is rising, fueling liquidity
-
Bitcoin dominance is still high, but starting to show cracks
-
We’re not fully bullish yet, but confirmation is finally here
📊 The Big Picture
Josh’s outlook focuses on momentum shifts. He uses cloud indicators and market structure to spot trends early. Right now:
-
BTC is back above the cloud on higher timeframes, which is constructive
-
Alts are still lagging, but improving fast on the 12h and daily charts
-
Stablecoin printing (USDT and USDC) is injecting fresh capital into altcoins
-
The Total2 chart (altcoin market cap) is forming a possible inverse head and shoulders pattern
"This is the most bullish altcoin charts have looked in months."
🧠 Alts to Watch
| Altcoin | Signal | What to Know |
|---|---|---|
| Pepe | 12h TK cross, closing in the cloud | First bullish signal since major breakdown |
| Soul | 12h cloud flip, IHS pattern forming | Josh’s top confidence play right now |
| SUI | +25% move, breaking cloud resistance | Momentum + confirmation equals high confidence |
| Popcat | Daily breakout, strong meme coin setup | “This is what dreams are made of” — Josh |
⚖️ Mixed Setups
| Coin | Outlook | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| XRP | Mixed — H&S vs. inverted H&S | Too early to call, watching for confirmation |
| ETH | Trying to bottom, still weak vs. BTC | Josh prefers ETH beta (Pepe, SUI) over ETH itself |
| ADA | Still in a wide range | Has a 12h setup, not fully confirmed |
🚫 Charts to Avoid (For Now)
| Pair | Reason |
|---|---|
| ETH/BTC | Multi-year downtrend, no confirmation |
| XRP/BTC | Bearish pattern forming, cloud rejection |
| LTC/BTC | At all-time lows, zero strength |
🧭 Strategy Tips
-
Wait for confirmation. Don’t guess bottoms, use indicators like TK crosses and cloud flips.
-
Use edge-to-edge trades. Many 12h charts are setting up for these high probability moves.
-
Rotate smart. As Josh says, rotate out of strength once it plays out. For example, if Soul/BTC hits 0.02, it may be time to take profits.
📅 Looking Ahead to May
Josh expects a bigger altcoin move to develop through May if:
-
Bitcoin continues to range or drift upward
-
Dominance stalls or pulls back
-
Liquidity continues flowing into DeFi and alts
“Alts love stability. BTC doesn’t have to moon for alts to run.”
