NewsAltcoin Season Is Still Alive—Top Traders Say the Best Is Yet to Come

While Bitcoin continues to dominate the crypto market and break new records, altcoins seem to be quietly waiting in the shadows. But according to top crypto analysts, that wait might be almost over, and what’s coming next could feel like a massive wave for altcoins.
The Calm Before the Altcoin Storm?
When markets are quiet, emotions tend to take over. Many investors are starting to believe that the altcoin run is already over, or worse, that a bear market is around the corner.
Meanwhile, seasoned crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe recently reminded investors that most altcoins are still trading near their bottom levels. That might sound negative at first, but here’s the twist, bottoms often come right before major rallies.
Van de Poppe believes that the next 12 to 24 months could offer the “final easy” gains for altcoin holders before the market shifts again.
Momentum Is Building, Quietly
If you’ve been watching the charts, you’ll notice Bitcoin has been grabbing most of the attention, both in headlines and in market dominance. As of now, bitcoin dominance has hit its peak of 64%, which suggests that the turnaround is near.
Meanwhile, popular altcoins like Solana, ADA, and XRP have shown some movement but are still trading well below their all-time high price.
Solana, for example, has risen nearly 15% in the last 30 days, now sitting around $173. But zoom out a bit, and it’s still down more than 30% from highs seen just a few months ago. XRP tells a similar story, small short-term gains, but still far from previous highs.
Traders Predict a Shift
Despite the growing bitcoin dominance, Crypto experts like Davinci Jeremie and other analysts are backing van de Poppe’s outlook. They believe the tide is turning, and once it starts, altcoins could explode in value.
Yet, many altcoins remain underperformers, and market sentiment hasn’t shifted fully. Currently, Altcoin Season Index sits at just 25. To begin the altcoin season, at least 50 altcoins need to outperform BTC’s performance.
But if these traders are right, altcoins might soon get their moment to shine, and it could happen faster than most expect.
