While retail interest in crypto remains subdued, some analysts believe the market is quietly laying the groundwork for its next breakout.
According to trader and market commentator Miles Deutscher, now may be the ideal moment to start looking closer at altcoins — before the crowd returns.
Deutscher notes that Bitcoin is beginning to show signs of renewed strength, while several altcoins appear to be forming long-term bottoming patterns. A key signal he points to is the emergence of “triple bottom” structures — historically viewed as a precursor to bullish trend reversals.
Deutscher highlights a few standout projects worth monitoring in this quiet phase. Meme token Pepe, known for leading impulsive rallies in the past, isn’t ripe for entry yet — but a pullback could offer a compelling opportunity. Its role as a category mover keeps it on the watchlist.
TAO, a token tied to the AI narrative, has recently cleared a major technical barrier and could be poised to revisit its all-time highs. With growing thematic relevance and sustained market interest, Deutscher views it as one of the rare assets maintaining momentum despite the broader market lull.
Meanwhile, the project Virtuals, which had seen a slowdown earlier this year, is starting to show renewed user activity. This uptick in engagement could soon translate into stronger price action as attention returns.
The analyst stresses that the current lack of hype is exactly what makes this period valuable. Historically, major rallies have often begun during the market’s quietest moments, when smart money positions itself ahead of retail inflows.
While the broader crypto space hasn’t confirmed a full-scale reversal yet, Deutscher believes several altcoins are building a strong technical foundation — hinting that the next wave may already be taking shape.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has made it clear it will no longer involve itself in regulating memecoins—tokens often driven by internet culture, hype, and political branding.
