Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent dip below $95,000 has triggered a decline in the altcoin market, creating a potential buying opportunity. Several Layer 1 altcoins, in particular, are showing strong bullish signals.

These Layer 1 tokens include Avalanche (AVAX), Polkadot (DOT), Fantom (FTM), Internet Computer (ICP), Algorand (ALGO), Quant (QNT), XDC Network (XDC), Aptos (APT), and Sei (SEI). With Bitcoin (BTC) trading at $94,311.81, down 1.8% from its all-time high of $99,655.50, altcoins are expected to dominate soon once BTC breaks $100,000.
