Regarding altcoin sentiment, Van de Poppe acknowledges prevailing negativity, noting that the markets surrounding altcoins are notably pessimistic.
He attributes this sentiment to the prolonged bear market for altcoins, resulting in a decrease in retail interest. Van de Poppe anticipates a shift in sentiment in the coming weeks or months.
He predicts that BTC’s consolidation phase will fuel increased momentum for altcoins.
