Santiment (@santimentfeed), the blockchain analytics firm, shared their latest recap report in a tweet this morning. The recap report focuses on the lackluster performance of the altcoin market after the crypto market leader Bitcoin (BTC) printed a 26% gain in the past 30 days.
With #Bitcoin jumping a cool +26% in the past 30 days, March was a rocky way to end with a great result. But why are #altcoins lagging behind? And what are the current on-chain & sentiment conditions that will impact April? Find out in our recap report! https://t.co/mI5PhbuWQL pic.twitter.com/lgFhBEHJyR— Santiment (@santimentfeed) April 2, 2023
According to the report, the crypto markets were inconsistent for the first dozen or so days in March with the Silicon Valley Bank and the general banking sector debacle – causing a scare in all investment markets. This, combined with the ongoing interest rate hikes and uncertain economic conditions created one of the roughest bear markets for crypto traders.
The crypto market is not out of the bearish cycle yet if the last 24 hours are any indication. At press time, CoinMarketCap shows that the global crypto market cap has fallen 2.43% in the last 24 hours. This has brought the combined crypto market cap down to around $1.16 trillion.

The altcoin market has strengthened against BTC somewhat in the last 24 hours.
