Last week I charted out something interesting: smaller altcoins—the ones sitting outside the top 10—were caught in a persistent downtrend with no real escape in sight.

The setup was pretty clear. We needed to see if they could actually break through that resistance and reverse the pattern. A solid breakout would signal real momentum returning to the smaller cap alts.

So where are we now? Looking at the latest data, you can see the picture is evolving. The question everyone's watching: are these smaller coins finally finding their footing, or is this just another false signal before another leg down? The answer matters if you're tracking altseason potential.
