Analyst Reveals Why Major Altcoin Bull Run Is Imminent in 2025

Key Insights:

  • In 2025, Altcoin market cap could take a huge leap ahead of altseason.
  • Bitcoin dominance is consolidating and falling in 2025.
  • Global Liquidity Index has just turned around- it is the first time since 2021.

In the crypto market, altcoins have followed Bitcoin, which has grown and consolidated. In the midst of the current market changes, analysts tried to respond to the query of whether altseason will begin soon.

These observations, backed by technical indicators and historical trends, suggest that altcoins may soon surpass previous market highs.

Altseason Predictions for 2025

Analysts cited the cyclical nature of the crypto market, where a clear pattern of altcoin boom after BTC dominance plunges emerged. In history, as it has been every time, a decrease in Bitcoin dominance led to an altseason.

Indicatively, in 2021, the market dominance of Bitcoin started to fall as altcoins soared, and it signaled an imminent rally of the smaller cryptos. This is likely to be repeated in 2025 since the chart patterns show a similar trend.

Since 2021, Bitcoin dominance, the BTC market share compared to the entire crypto market, has been increasing. Analysts suggested that the market is in a consolidation phase, where Bitcoin’s dominance stabilizes and may eventually decline again.

Therefore, the altcoin market capitalization is about to experience a possible rally that will likely cut past 2021 highs.

Also, the first drop in the Global Liquidity Index (GLI) since 2021 indicates that the market environment is increasingly promising for the growth of altcoins. History has shown that the GLI, an indicator of the worldwide liquidity situation, has effectively predicted market trends.

Analysts observed that when the GLI enters a reversal phase, it often triggers increased buying activity, which could lead to a new altcoin bull run.

Further, the altseason energy propelled the Ethereum price to other 2025 highs as the currency hiked 20% within a week, hitting the $4,300 mark. This breakout gave a boost to the wider altcoin market, generating double-digit returns in crypto, such as SOL, DOGE, and HYPE.

MACD and Historical Bullish Trends

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) technical indicator has also been instrumental in realizing altseasons. The MACD operates on an asset’s short and long-term moving averages, showing possible changes to the market sentiment.

A short-term average below the long-term average is typically a negative sign denoted by a bearish cross on the MACD. Nevertheless, this trend was historically followed by massive altcoin rallies.

Analyst Merlijn The Trader highlighted this pattern, noting that it marks the beginning of a bullish trend for altcoins. In past cycles, such as 2019 and 2021, altcoins saw price increases following the “bearish cross” in the MACD.

Analysts believe the upcoming altseason will be similar to the previous one, with the MACD indicating a bearish cross.

Also, the further growth and development of decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) will motivate the demand for altcoin. Since blockchain technology is finding more applications, altcoins with robust fundamentals and practical applications may generate more adoption, further boosting their development.

Similarly, another analyst supported the Altseason 3.0 sentiments and stated that the current market structure is similar to those in historical breakout durations.
