An ALT rally still needs one closing trigger teaser image

My September 1 read is conditional: lower-cap breadth is improving, but I only upgrade the possible ALT rally if OTHERS closes above 200.54B. DXY and EURUSD are still forming a macro fork, Gold completed a Close Short at its Fast line, and the ALT setups remain asset-specific.

OTHERS needs a close above 200.54B

OTHERS daily market-cap chart

I see early ALT-rally alignment, not ALT season. The trigger is an OTHERS daily close above TBO Resistance at 200.54B. Until that close happens, more ALTs popping and pumping remains a possible outcome rather than confirmation.

OTHERS/BTC adds a bullish divergence cluster

OTHERS versus Bitcoin daily chart

I see Monday's TBT Bullish Divergence Cluster on OTHERS/BTC reinforce the lower-cap breadth thesis. I keep that relative-strength chart separate from OTHERS market cap and OTHERS.D market share, and I do not turn the cluster into proof that the 200.54B trigger has closed.

DXY and EURUSD form a conditional macro fork

EURUSD daily chart

I still see DXY in bullish consolidation. EURUSD's daily TBT Bearish Divergence was only in progress on a candle 5.5 hours old. If it confirms, I would expect lower EURUSD and inversely higher DXY only if the two remain inversely correlated. Neither the forming divergence nor that relationship is guaranteed.

Gold closes its prior Close Short at the Fast line

Gold daily chart

I see Gold retrace to its Fast line on Monday, closing the TBO Close Short from August 5. I am still expecting a bounce there, but I am preserving the source's distinction: the Close Short is closed, while the bounce is still awaited.

SOL shows a bearish RSI Reset as Volume eases

Solana daily chart

I see SOL's weekend bearish RSI Reset and Volume beginning to fall. The source expects less from top-10 majors while OTHERS.D, OTHERS and OTHERS/BTC improve, so I treat SOL as a major-specific warning rather than erasing the lower-cap breadth thesis.

ALT setups stay conditional

ONDO daily chart

I see AAVE trapped below its 0.382 Fib and needing a close above it before things accelerate. ONDO is a decent but risky bounce setup that could fall toward 0.32 first, with TBO Resistance described as a possible take-profit target. JTO is nearing long-term support and should bounce as RSI approaches oversold, but that bullish RSI Reset is prospective, not confirmed.
