What changed: Updated the story to include a specific list of affected altcoins and introduced market speculation regarding potential new price lows in 2026.

While the impact of President Trump’s 15% global tariff continues to weigh on markets, the focus has shifted toward technical stagnation within the crypto sector. Bitcoin BTC has failed to achieve a significant price breakthrough, leaving the broader market in a state of suspense regarding its next move. Amid this uncertainty, chart signals suggest a potential rotation of 'smart money' into specific altcoins, notably XRP, Solana SOL, and Shiba Inu SHIB. This capital shift follows an initial broad sell-off of assets like ETH and BNB, driven by a strengthening US Dollar DXY and risk-off sentiment. Analysts maintain that the market could still face cyclical lows by 2026 if protectionist trade policies continue to disrupt global growth. The current landscape highlights a transition from a macro-driven shock to a more nuanced environment of selective asset positioning.
