Bitcoin Smashes $100K Barrier—Here’s What Altcoins to Buy Before the Next Leg Up

Crypto markets flip bullish as Bitcoin punches through six figures—traders scramble for altcoin exposure.

Ethereum (ETH):
The clear №2 rallies on institutional ETF hype—but gas fees still eat retail alive.

Solana (SOL):
‘Ethereum killer’ narrative returns as throughput hits new ATHs. Validators cheer.

BNB Chain:
Centralized? Sure. Profitable? Absolutely. Binance’s cash cow defies FUD yet again.

Dogecoin (DOGE):
Elon tweets ‘🐕’—price pumps 30%. Never change, crypto.

Wildcard pick:
Layer-2 tokens surge as investors chase ‘cheap Bitcoin beta.’ Because fundamentals are so 2023.

Bankers watching from their gold-plated trenches: *‘But the volatility!’* Meanwhile, BTC’s market cap quietly surpasses JPMorgan.

As Bitcoin inches closer to the $100K mark, attention is now shifting to the altcoin market. Analysts are observing signs of a major altcoin breakout cycle, led by strong moves in Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), NEAR Protocol (NEAR), Kaspa (KAS), and Fantom (FTM) — all showing signs of breaking long-term resistance trends.

The $100K level has been a key psychological barrier for months. Now that Bitcoin is soon moving past it, market sentiment is improving fast. As Bitcoin dominance starts to drop, capital is rotating into altcoins, which are showing early signs of breakout formations.

Technical Patterns Confirm a Bullish Shift

 Altcoins are forming reliable breakout patterns like the cup and handle and inverse head and shoulders on higher timeframes. This shows that recent consolidations were accumulation zones and that larger upside may be ahead.

Major Altcoins Breaking Long-Term Resistance

Top altcoins such as ETH, DOGE, SOL, NEAR, KAS, Cardano (ADA), and Sonic (S) are all showing significant breakout signals. For example:

• ETH has broken past key trendlines and is targeting the $3,200 zone.
  
• SOL is aiming for the $220–$230 range.
  
• DOGE has moved above $0.18, showing fresh momentum.
  
• ADA is breaking trendlines and looking to rally.
• KAS is forming a bull flag, and Sonic just completed a retest and breakout.

The message is clear: this could be the beginning of a full-fledged altcoin season. If bitcoin holds above key levels and market sentiment stays bullish, altcoins may rally 100–250% from current levels — with some possibly retracing 60% of previous bear market losses.
