The Altcoin Index (ALTPERP) is trading between support and resistance at $2820 and $4780.
The DeFi Index (DEFIPERP) is following a long-term ascending support line and has reclaimed the $1700 support area.

Altcoin Index
On May 12, the altcoin index reached an all-time high of $6965. However, it began to decrease shortly afterwards.
SponsoredThe rate of decrease was especially sharp during the week of May 17-24, in which ALTPERP fell by 50%.
This took it to the 0.618 Fib retracement support at 2820, where it initiated a bounce.
However, technical indicators are still bearish. The MACD has given a bearish reversal signal and the Stochastic oscillator has made a bearish cross (red icon).
The RSI is right at the 50 line, and could soon decrease below it.
The shorter-term six-hour chart does nothing to dissuade from the bearish outlook.
Despite the ongoing bounce, the index has been rejected by the 0.5 Fib retracement resistance area of $4781 on June 3. It has been decreasing since. Furthermore, the MACD & RSI are both moving downwards.
Finally, the downward movement since the aforementioned all-time high has five completed waves, while the ensuing bounce is a three wave structure.
Therefore, it is likely that the trend is still bearish and new lows will eventually follow.
Highlights
- Long-term indicators are bearish.
- There is support and resistance at $2820 and $4780.
DeFi Index
Similarly to the altcoin index, the DeFi index also reached an all-time high on May 12 and has been moving downwards since.

Despite this, technical indicators are still bearish. The Stochastic oscillator has made a bearish cross (red icon) and the RSI is below 50.
