XRP.d beyond crippledThe latest pump and dump put the last nail in the coffin. XRP.d has been twice rejected from major resistances which result in severe drops. Loss of 1.50 will send it to zero.
Actually these major resistances are part of a gann fan that i drew in April 2020 (original idea below). You can see the gann fan if you zoom out.

100-BTC.d choppy Alts season might endPretty hard to put your finger on dominance, But I am assuming that the rising wedge will break down. This will end the random pumping of some alts for a while.
If the wedge breaks up then Alts will continue to pump, but some of them have 2xed or 3xed and are pretty over extended so hard for me to see a continued pump.
I imagine a strong dump from BTC will bring a harder dump of Alts. BTC pumping is also hard for me to imagine, but possible.
I think prices are stagnating because the stock market is closed for holidays. BTC never gets a holiday.
XRP.d monthly is so sadNever saw a more bearish chart and this is the monthly. Here goes:
-Dom rejected from descending triangle resistance.
-Dom fell under long-term rising trendline
-Dom monthly closed way below major longterm horizontal support.
-Mega bearish engulfing monthly candle, almost 70% larger than the bullish candle.
-MACD has been in the red forever.
How is bullish?
BTC.d falling wedgein theory should test resistance of wedge and breakup, but PA has fallen below support and RSI broke below the trendline. Currently at support of wedge and rising channel. A break below will send dom to retest the descending widening cone at 66.88. A break inside the cone is the start of Alts season, unless market dumps.
100-BTC.d Alts bleeding might not stop100-BTC.d represents Alts dominance, and if 28.9% key level is broke, alts dominance will fall dramatically, hopefully only to 20% but can reach 10%.
The majority of BTC pairs have fallen while BTC has risen. This implies that capital is being taken out of Alts and pumped into BTC. Some alts have faired very well vs. USD, like ETH, Theta, dot and unusually LTC. XRP did very good at first but as everybody knows all gains were erased. XRP dramatic fall might contribute to the fall in Alts, especially LTC which is considered a legacy like XRP.
The market is in bull mode, but even in bull markets there are pullbacks. And I speculate based on some parameters like gold and the dollar that the crypto market as a whole will have a pull back with capital taken out of ALTs faster than BTC.
Another scenario for ALTS dominance falling is that capital will be pumped into BTC faster than ALTs maybe because of retail buying BTC with their stimulus check and institutions fomoing in.
The conclusion is that Alts season is not here yet and besides a handful of Alts, Alts are not worth investing in at the moment.
LTC.d not much to be excited aboutStill in the downward channel with daily bearish divergence at the channel resistance with rejection. Can go to the bottom of the channel. Even if it breaks out of the channel, 1.37 is a very strong resistance because it was historical support now flipped resistance. XRP incredibly, crossed over it's historical support, but it was a fakeout as everybody knows.
Link.d lost its parabolaOn the log scale a parabola is a straight line, and Link.d was in a rising wedge . The parabola was lost on November 29th when dom dropped out of the rising wedge . The first target for now is the POC at around 0.33%, followed by the rising wedge target at 0.1%.
There was hope that link will surpass major caps, it remains to be seen if in next year, capital will flow back in, forming another parabola.
BTC.d broke up from longterm decending widening wedgeWhich of course is bad news for Alts. And the monthly MACd will cross up if BTC.d will continue up.
Previously I believed that the wedge resistance will reject BTC.d but obviously this didn't happen but Alts did not suffer. At the moment the Alts look fine because they strangely have become positively correlated to BTC.d and are going up with it. This happens from time to time historically but it is a bearish reversal sign for Alts.
The measured move of the breakout is 75% and there is a gap remaining from the 2017 decent at 74%. BTC.d at these levels can result in the termination of many coins. Unless this rise in dominance of BTC is due to more money being pumped into BTC than Alts and not BTC bleeding Alts.
BTC.d Breaking into key levelRejection at this level will spell relief for Alts otherwise the next resistance is that of the falling wedge and Alts will bleed further. It is expected that BTC.d will respect the wedge and reverse course. But nothing is for certain. There are gaps in the index and if gaps play out in the index then BTC.d must rise to 74% to fill the gap. However these gaps can be artifacts from change in method of calculating the index or missing data.
