At a time when interest in altcoins in the cryptocurrency market is increasing, a remarkable evaluation came from Glassnode.
The blockchain data analysis company reported that leverage levels in the altcoin market remain below levels seen in past periods of market overheating.
According to Glassnode, during periods when the market is overheated, the difference between the share of altcoins and Bitcoin's share in the total open positions in the futures market decreases to a few percentage points.
Current data shows that this level has not been reached yet. The company stated that this outlook may indicate that the upward potential in the altcoin market is not exhausted.
