TOTAL3 displays a W-pattern, but confirmation depends on diagonal support holding.
-
Breakdown risk remains if macro support fails across the altcoin market.
-
Large-cap altcoins show unmatched network activity despite compressed prices.
The TOTAL3 chart, which tracks the overall altcoin market cap excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum, is being closely monitored after a visible W-pattern structure formed on the weekly timeframe. A diagonal resistance line is now being tested as price compresses near a historically reactive zone. Market observers note that repeated support reactions have been recorded in this range, while volatility has narrowed. The W formation is often read as a potential base structure when confirmed by sustained support and rising volume.

The diagonal resistance must hold, good news is that it has formed a W pattern

That confirmation has not yet been fully established. Analysts stress that the diagonal resistance must continue to hold for the structure to remain valid. A breakdown below the highlighted support band would shift projections lower, where the next major demand area sits significantly below current levels. Liquidity conditions, Bitcoin dominance behavior, and macroeconomic risk appetite are being considered key factors. Rather than certainty, the setup is being framed as a conditional bottoming attempt within a broader corrective phase across altcoins.

DeFi enters a "winter of yields": liquidity stagnation, leverage contraction, and the disappearance of arbitrage opportunities
The DeFi market entered an "interest rate winter" since September 2025, with deposit rates for major stablecoins declining sharply and supply-demand imbalances causing liquidity congestion. The rate decline reflects reduced capital demand and a lack of high-return opportunities. Stablecoin lending demand has dropped significantly, with market risk appetite shifting toward more stable investment channels. In response to this situation, the Sky protocol demonstrates competitiveness and adaptability by introducing real-world assets to enhance yields. The low interest rates during this phase can be viewed as an opportunity for DeFi market transformation.

Author: Frank, PANews
Whenever the market enters a confusing phase of going nowhere, people try to use a "cutting the boat to seek the sword" method of historical retrospection to predict the next market movement.
