The crypto market could be getting ready to enter the highly anticipated altcoin season. As the market rides the bull wave spearheaded by Bitcoin, a crypto analyst has identified the current phase of the market using the Wyckoff Cycle. This analysis suggests that altcoins are preparing for a “parabolic run” that could kickstart the onset of the altcoin season. Related Reading: Bitcoin To $800K? Galaxy Digital CEO Unveils Bold 5-10 Year Forecast Wyckoff Cycle Reveals What Phase The Current Market Has Entered A crypto technical analyst identified as EtherNasyonal has shared a chart of the crypto total market cap, excluding Bitcoin. In this chart, the Wyckoff cycle, a widely used framework for understanding market behavior and trends, can be seen. The chart showed four distinct market phases — Accumulation, Mark up, Distribution, and Mark down. The accumulation phase is the period when smart money begins buying assets at lower prices, and prices consolidate as selling pressure reduces. Once the accumulation phase completes, the Markup phase begins, where prices break out of the consolidation range and begin an uptrend driven by increased demand. The next phase, the Distribution stage, is characterized by selling pressure, where smart money begins selling its holdings, leading to price corrections or stabilization. After this stage, the Markdown phase starts, where selling pressure overwhelms demand, triggering a downtrend. Based on these unique phases, the crypto analyst has revealed that the market is currently in the Mark up phase, highlighted by an increase in the prices of various cryptocurrencies. By 2025, 2026, and 2027, the total market is expected to enter a re-accumulation phase, another mark up phase, and a distribution phase, respectively. The right side of the chart also shows a continuation of these distinct market phases, with 2027 to 2030 set to witness an accumulation, mark up, and distribution stage. Here’s When The Altcoin Season Could Begin Based on EtherNasyonal’s Wyckoff cycle chart, the altcoin season is set to commence, with altcoins already preparing to experience a parabolic run. The altcoin season is a period when cryptocurrencies, excluding Bitcoin, experience significant price increases and often outperform Bitcoin significantly. Based on the past bull market, the altcoins that led the previous altcoin season include Ethereum, Cardano, Solana, and others. The crypto analyst has revealed that the altcoin season will begin after the reaccumulation phase in the Wyckoff crypto market chart. The reaccumulation phase is set to take place in 2025, following the Mark up phase in 2024.

The Bitcoin price performance is also set to influence this anticipated altcoin season, as a Bitcoin bull run has historically preceded past altcoin seasons. Moreover, as the market sees a decrease in Bitcoin’s dominance and increased demand for altcoins, this could signal that the altcoin season may be imminent.

In a detailed post on X, crypto analyst Jamie Coutts outlined various indicators he monitors to gauge when the market might pick up bullish momentum. Crypto Market Might Be In The Final Stage Of The Bearish Phase Coutts, Chief Crypto Analyst at the financial knowledge and education platform RealVision, noted that the cryptocurrency market has gradually declined. The top 200 equal-weight index (EWI) shows that the leading 200 cryptocurrencies by market cap have experienced a 55% pullback over the past six months. Despite this downward trajectory, Coutts believes the risk/reward ratio is favorable for adding select digital assets at current levels. Related Reading: Ethereum ETFs Launch About To Kickstart The Altseason? Analysts Weigh In Coutts highlighted the steep surge in the alt season indicator, a data point that measures the degree by which altcoins outperform Bitcoin (BTC). However, this rise is not accompanied by a sustained Bitcoin rally, which requires its price to be above its all-time-high (ATH) value. As a result, the upward-moving altseason indicator may be short-lived. Still, Coutts suspects the market is “in the final throes of the bearish thrust.” The analyst emphasized that even when altcoins outperform BTC in terms of price, investing in them may not always be wise if they are still in a downward trend. Coutts recalled a similar situation in 2022, during the collapse of the FTX exchange. He suggests that the ideal time to invest in altcoins is when they are trending upward not only on the absolute price chart but also on the relative price chart. This Indicator Must Hit 45% For Bull Market To Resume According to Coutts, one key metric to determine whether the market has entered bullish territory is the percentage of digital assets above their 200-day moving average (MA). Currently, only 11% of digital assets are above the 200-day MA. For a bull market to resume, at least 45% of digital assets must be above this level. For the uninitiated, the 200-day MA is a technical analysis indicator that represents the average price of an asset over the past 200 trading days. Traders and analysts use it to identify the long-term trend of an asset, including digital assets like BTC.

Further, daily fees are down 84%, a decrease that can be attributed to the implementation of EIP-4844, which slashed transaction fees for Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem users. Coutts added that a bull market could be on the horizon when prices and fees begin to trend upward together. “We’re not there yet, but prices will lead, and fees will naturally follow,” he noted. As of press time, the total crypto market cap, excluding BTC, is $879.676 billion. Featured image from Unsplash, Charts from x.com and Tradingview.com
