Altcoin Market Enters Prolonged Slump with 84% Below 200-Day MAs

The altcoin market remains in a prolonged slump, with over 84% of Binance-listed tokens trading below their 200-day moving averages. This is according to data from CryptoQuant, which highlights one of the broadest altcoin drawdowns of the current market cycle.

The 200-day moving average is a widely used long-term trend indicator that signals persistent weakness when a token trades below it. The persistence of the decline has frustrated traders who expected a broader altcoin recovery after earlier attempts at rebounds failed to generate lasting momentum.

The breadth reading suggests that the altcoin market remains technically damaged, with capital remaining defensive and smaller tokens more exposed due to lack of rising liquidity, speculative appetite, and leverage-driven momentum.
