Should
DXY
move back down to the bottom shown on the chart above, the altcoin market could move back to its top.
Why?
The altcoin market and
DXY
are significantly negatively correlated, moving in near mirror-images of each other.
DXY correlation with alts (and Bitcoin, Stocks, etc) does cycle into the positive at times, but predominantly remains in negative correlation, long-term. This makes sense, too:
DXY

- There is also a possibility of this happening if DXY simply moves sideways for an extended period of time.
-
- However, if DXY moves back up above 105-108, hits 112-116 and continues, expect the altcoin market to move much further down.

as the dollar index strengthens or inflates, the vast majority of everything that can be purchased with it will lose value
as the dollar index weakens or deflates, we see them gain in value.
