Bitcoin's Price Drop Could Unlock Opportunity for Altcoins Like Solana

Crypto analyst VirtualBacon advises investors to look at Bitcoin before deciding whether Solana is a good buy during this bear market.

According to him, 'Altcoins do not lead the bull run, Bitcoin leads.'

The key support levels for Bitcoin are its 200-week moving average around $62,000 and its Realized Price near $53,000. If Bitcoin falls toward these levels, it may offer better long-term opportunities.

Buying Solana only makes sense if it can outperform Bitcoin. To determine the risk-reward of Solana, investors should look at the SOL/BTC chart. During the last market drop in September 2025, Bitcoin fell 54% from its peak, while Solana dropped 76%. This means Solana typically falls about 1.4 times more than Bitcoin.
