Bitcoin: Volatility Drop Triggers Altcoin Runs

Bitcoin volatility collapse is triggering altcoin market runs, with BTC consolidating near $77218.08 and no immediate break of the $73K-$80K range in sight according to trader Michaël van de Poppe.

Price action hugs the EMA50 at $77228.82 inside Bollinger Bands, where the upper resistance sits at $78218.63 and lower support at $75410.39, while the neutral RSI at 52.88 and MACD golden cross at 80.67 keep the structure in a tight BTC price prediction range that favors continued altcoin strength until a decisive move occurs. A clean push above $80K would pull liquidity back to Bitcoin and stall at the next resistance zone, whereas a drop beneath $73K would force a crypto market crash in altcoins with zero upside left, exactly as the current low-volatility setup sustains runs across the sector amid expected US-Iran developments.
