Week Ahead: Altcoins likely to bounce due to short-term bullish wave

Bitcoin's bullish price action is likely to have a ripple effect on altcoins.
Nonfarm Payrolls at the end of the week is an important macroeconomic event to watch.
AI altcoins could make a comeback in anticipation of Apple's event next week.

Last week was a bummer with Bitcoin (BTC) price consolidation, and altcoins movements showed confusion in their directional bias. Some altcoins saw bullish, impulsive moves, but most trended sideways or slid lower.

Bitcoin to set the tone this week

At the time of writing, BTC is up 1.26% in the Asian session, and if this outlook continues, it could be good for the entire cryptocurrency market. However, as noted in a previous publication, the $63,000 support level is key. Due to the consolidation witnessed over the last two weeks, the highest volume traded price level has shifted from $63,000 to $67,700, making it a key support level. Considering this data point, it makes sense for BTC to bounce from here, and it wouldn't be surprising if it continued higher, setting the tone of the market.

As a result, altcoins could expect some relief as they dance to BTC’s bullish tune.
