Analysts are indicating recurring trends that suggest the beginning of another Altseason, which could be in late 2025. If the setup aligns with historical trends, the total altcoin market could skyrocket to the range of $4-5 trillion as investor confidence increases and liquidity is redirected out of Bitcoin into other assets.
According to analyst CryptoELlTES, the TOTAL3 index, which measures the total capitalization of all cryptos excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum, is forming a multi-year ascending structure that mirrors pre-breakout setups from 2017 and 2021. These formations align with the bullish MACD crossover, which marked the start of upward expansions across the altcoin market.

The identical signal, which is now evident, indicates that momentum is accumulating for another rally. A breakout above the level of $1.5 trillion resistance could confirm the bullish inclination of this cycle, which would open the prospects of new dominance by altcoins into 2026.
Similarly, analyst AlΞx Wacy pointed out the performance of altcoins against Bitcoin. According to the chart, the bullish MACD crossover is forming, which is preceded by significant rallies in 2017 and 2020. The trend reinforces the fact that the market is moving towards a new expansion phase out of a deep accumulation phase.

Furthermore, the unsuccessful crossover in 2024 is visibly underway and could clear weak momentum, making it possible for a sustained recovery. Together, these signals underline growing technical evidence that an Altseason could be forming.
Additionally, the wider crypto sector is seeing less volatility, where capital is moving out into mid and low-capitalization assets. Investors who remained on the sidelines when Bitcoin was consolidating are currently seeking altcoins as network activity and institutional inflows keep increasing.
Moreover, the expansion of decentralized finance (DeFi) and renewed attention to Web3 projects have led to the reinforcement of structural demand for alternative assets, pushing alts upwards. These reinforce the argument that the market is recovering.
If momentum continues, analysts suggest that the next Altseason will unfold in phases, starting with large-cap tokens and then narrowing down to smaller assets by the end of the year.
At the time of writing, TOTAL3's market cap stands at around $988 billion, which is an indication that the foundation is set for another major breakout.
