Michaël van de Poppe: Altcoins Near End of Longest Bear Market
Analyst Michaël van de Poppe has shared his outlook on altcoins, stressing that the traditional four-year crypto cycle is no longer relevant.
He argued that Bitcoin’s maturity, boosted by ETF inflows, has broken the old pattern. Instead of timing, van de Poppe believes strategies should be based on price, indicators, and risk.
He noted that altcoins remain in their longest bear market in history, with his own portfolio down over 50%. Yet, he highlighted that Ethereum has finally broken above its 20-day EMA, marking the first real sign of a trend reversal since the bear market began. He compared this move to September 2019, when altcoins also prepared for a recovery phase.
Van de Poppe expects interest-rate cuts and fresh liquidity injections to fuel crypto markets, setting the stage for a strong altcoin rally. He emphasized that altcoins are on the verge of breaking out, with several already showing early signs of strength.
Calling this “the final easy cycle,” he warned that while opportunities remain massive, the next Bitcoin top could coincide with a global downturn. For now, he remains fully allocated to altcoins and plans to trade actively as momentum builds.
