The founders of Glassnode, an analytics firm, believe an altcoin rally could soon begin.
Jan Happel and Yann Allemann, known as Negentropic on X, indicated that this altseason may unfold after Bitcoin surpasses its all-time high of around $74,000.
They noted that altcoins have been following Bitcoin’s bullish trend and suggested that a simultaneous surge in various cryptocurrencies could occur once Bitcoin breaks its ATH.
Historically, the cycle begins with Bitcoin rising, followed by Ethereum, large-cap altcoins, and then smaller ones. Since May, Bitcoin has seen three upward moves without triggering an altcoin season.
However, the altcoin cycle indicator recently approached 50, hinting at a potential shift in favor of altcoins.
This indicator reflects traders’ preferences; values above 50 indicate that altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin, suggesting an impending altcoin season.
Crypto analyst Miles Deutscher has shared recent data highlighting a challenging period for the digital asset market, revealing that only 12 out of the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization have posted positive returns in the past three months.
Bloomberg’s senior commodity strategist, Mike McGlone, has suggested that Bitcoin’s price could fall to as low as $70,000.
Stablecoins are attracting major attention from traditional financial players, with institutions like Bank of America, PayPal, and Revolut moving to introduce their own versions in response to a rapidly evolving market.
Strategy (previously MicroStrategy) has unveiled a new initiative to raise up to $21 billion by issuing shares, with the goal of expanding its Bitcoin holdings.
