On a mostly bearish day in the cryptocurrency market on Tuesday, Render (RNDR), Kaspa (KAS) and Tron (TRX) are top crypto gainers today and some of the only coins trading in the green over the past 24 hours.
Each of these altcoins was last up between 1.5-5% in the past 24 hours.
Bitcoin (BTC), meanwhile, dropped 1.2% on Tuesday to the low $62,000s, after finding resistance once again at its 50DMA.
While the world’s largest crypto remains substantially higher versus last week’s lows, that suggests the bulls haven’t regained full control.

Secondly, post-halving rallies typically don’t propel the price to new highs for around 4-6 months. The halving latest halving was only a few weeks ago.
Moreover, Fed rate cuts aren’t expected until the end of the year. And a lot could still change that could push expectations for the first-rate cuts into 2025, like continued US economic strength/high inflation.
As a result, Bitcoin lacks narrative strength to propel it higher right now. It will likely remain stuck within recent $56,000-$74,000ish ranges.
