Bitcoin has been stuck in a period of consolidation for the past several days and weeks, which has proven to be a positive thing for altcoins, as many have been able to post decent gains over the past few days.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that analysts do anticipate altcoins to potentially consolidate for many more months before the prophesized \u201caltseason\u201d kicks off, but there is a possibility that they will see a decent sized uptrend in the short-term.<\/p>\n

Altcoins Pop as Bitcoin Consolidates Around $8,300<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin<\/a> is trading up marginally at its current price of $8,320, which marks a slight retrace from its daily highs of $8,400 that were set over night, and it appears that this price is a short-term resistance level for BTC.<\/p>\n

Multiple altcoins have been able to surge amidst this bout of sideways trading for BTC, with XRP surging nearly 4% yesterday and quickly climbing back into the $0.30 region, which is significantly higher than its recent lows of $0.24.<\/p>\n

Luke Martin, a popular cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter, explained in a recent tweet that he believes that XRP is the strongest major altcoin as far as TA is concerned, which could mean further gains are imminent in the near-term.<\/p>\n

\u201c$XRP is the strongest major for the 3rd\/4th week in a row,\u201d he explained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
