#ETH Hits 4800#    #TopContentChallenge#  Analysts Predict New Capital Flows into Altcoin/ETH Pairs.

Altcoin/ETH trading pairs can offer traders opportunities to double their returns. They can increase their ETH holdings and double their returns by waiting for the ETH price to rise.

However, this strategy isn't easy. Determining when capital will flow into altcoin/ETH pairs is the most challenging part. Here are some key insights from market analysts.

Signs That Capital Could Soon Flow into Altcoins

Ethereum's sustained volume dominance has surpassed Bitcoin's for the first time since the 2022 cycle decline. This marks the largest volume imbalance in favor of ETH on record.

ETH accounted for over 60% of sustained volume by the end of July. This suggests that traders are now trading ETH more actively than BTC.

This shift also indicates growing speculative interest in the altcoin sector.

“This shift confirms a significant shift in speculative interest in the altcoin sector,”

This aligns with the recent views of many market analysts. They believe the market is currently in Phase 2 (capital flow into ETH) and is preparing to transition to Phase 3 (capital flow into other altcoins).

When Should Investors Pay Attention to Altcoin/ETH?

Investors seeking profits by buying ETH are looking for opportunities in underperforming altcoin/ETH pairs, rather than simply holding ETH.

The main concern is that these pairs carry double the risk. First, a decline in the price of ETH. Second, a sell-off in the altcoin/ETH pair, which can lead to double losses. However, with the right timing, investors can profit from both sides.

The performance of altcoin market capitalization (TOTAL3 – excluding BTC and ETH) relative to ETH indicates that altcoin/ETH pairs have fallen by an average of 40% since their 2025 peak.

As long as ETH continues its upward trend, further declines are possible.

However, a reversal is expected eventually.

"It's ETH Season. ETH may outperform the ALTS for a while. If I were to speculate, I'd say the path will be as follows: to the lower trendline. When this line falls, it means ALTS is losing value relative to ETH. In the final stages of the bull run, ALTS will outperform both ETH and BTC."

This analysis suggests that the last quarter of the year may be a golden time to trade altcoin/ETH pairs. However, short-term recoveries in these pairs are possible along the way. Many other analysts agree with this view.

A more specific scenario based on the chart: When ETH reaches $7,000–$8,000, maximize returns by switching to altcoin/ETH pairs.

However, earlier signs can be detected by monitoring the market capitalization (excluding the top 10) to ETH ratio.

This ratio has risen from 0.21 to 0.27 in the past month, indicating that altcoins outside the top 10 are starting to outperform ETH. This reflects investors' focus on mid- and lower-cap opportunities.
