Mid-Cap and Small-Cap Altcoins May Present Investment Opportunities Amid Recent Market Correction
After "taking it on the chin" for the past four months, the altcoin crypto market may offer "some opportunities" for investors.
According to Cointelegraph, Altcoins with market capitalizations under $10 billion may be preparing to offer "some opportunities" for investors, as they have experienced a decline in value since Bitcoin reached a new high earlier in 2024.
“Smaller cap crypto assets have been taking it on the chin since March high of this year,” RealVision chief crypto analyst Jamie Coutts wrote in a June 13 X post.
According to Cointelegraph Markets Pro, Bitcoin experienced a nearly 6% decline to $67,126 over the past week, following an all-time high of $73,679 on March 13.
“If this is a regular mid-cycle correction we are experiencing, which I believe is likely, then expect some opportunities to be had in the mid and small caps once the market settles,” Coutts added.
