Several altcoins hit new all-time highs over the last few weeks. Solana (SOL), BNB, and TRON (TRX) hit new peaks within a very short time from each other. Bitcoin (BTC) also hit several new peaks over the same time frame. The latest cryptocurrency market correction could be due to investors booking profits after the latest rally.
Another possibility could be Googleâs new Willow quantum computing chip. The powerful chip could solve a standard computation in under five minutes, which usually would have taken more than the universeâs age. Many believe this chip could break Bitcoinâs (BTC) cryptography.
It is also possible that market participants were anticipating an altcoin season. Bitcoinâs (BTC) brief climb to $100,000 on Dec. 9, 2024, may have thwarted any hopes of an altcoin season. The development may have led cryptocurrency investors to reshuffle their holdings.
