- Shifting market dynamics highlight Ethereum’s possible ETF impact in guiding altcoin investment strategies.
- Analysis by Van de Poppe identifies altcoins like Arbitrum and Chainlink as key players in the crypto market.
- Bitcoin ETF approval is poised to influence altcoins, with Ethereum showing promising growth prospects, noted an analyst.
In a recent YouTube video, Michaël van de Poppe provided an in-depth analysis of the altcoin market’s trajectory following the Bitcoin ETF approval. The ETF’s impact, though monumental, is expected to unfold gradually over the next year or two, potentially reshaping the landscape for Ethereum and other altcoins.
The Bitcoin ETF, which saw a $600 million inflow on its first day, marks a turning point in cryptocurrency adoption. However, its effects extend beyond Bitcoin, stirring significant interest in altcoins. Van de Poppe emphasizes that understanding Bitcoin’s price patterns and market cycles is vital before delving into altcoins, considering their relative volatility.
Moreover, the potential approval of an Ethereum ETF, speculated to occur around May or August, could further boost Ethereum’s momentum. This development has led to a notable shift in the market, with Ethereum poised to take the lead.
The video also highlights several altcoins demonstrating promising upward trends. Arbitrum, for instance, has shown a remarkable 120% increase against Bitcoin since early December. To pinpoint optimal entry points, Van de Poppe points out the importance of identifying strengths and weaknesses across various pairs.
Van de Poppe specifically mentioned Chainlink (LINK) in a recent tweet, noting a significant trend switch marked by creating a higher low. He anticipates a continuation toward the critical resistance for Chainlink, followed by a bullish breakout, potentially ushering in a renewed summer of DeFi.

Confirming uptrends in assets like Sui against Bitcoin and Chainlink against UCT is critical for investors. Van de Poppe notes that these assets exhibit highs and lows, signaling ongoing upward trends.
However, the analyst emphasized the need for confirmation on higher time frames, especially for assets like Chainlink. He added that identifying resistance points turning into support and a patient investment approach can significantly benefit traders. Additionally, considering the opportunity cost between different altcoins is essential for a balanced investment strategy, according to Van de Poppe.
Interestingly, Van de Poppe forecasts a temporary downward trend for Bitcoin, predicting a rejection around the $46,000 mark before it enters a bull market. This phase could be a golden opportunity for altcoins, with Ether potentially leading the charge. Ether, in particular, is expected to correct towards approximately $4,000, setting the stage for significant growth in the altcoin sector.
