Key Notes:

The reversal of weekly Bitcoin dominance and altcoins/BTC will trigger the onset of the much-anticipated altseason for 2025.More institutional investors have been betting on digital assets amid favoring and clear regulatory frameworks.

Since the fourth Bitcoin BTC $96 656 24h volatility: 1.3% Market cap: $1.92 T Vol. 24h: $17.95 B halving happened on April 20, 2024, the majority of crypto traders have been waiting for a parabolic altseason in the subsequent months. The re-election of pro-crypto US President Donald Trump escalated the hopes for an altseason in 2025 fueled by the mainstream adoption of digital assets by institutional investors and favoring regulatory environments in major jurisdictions.

However, the America-first agenda by the Trump administration, which has heightened the global tariff wars has significantly hampered the ongoing crypto bull rally. Despite gold prices printing new all-time highs every other week in the past few months, the wider cryptocurrency market has experienced heightened sell-the-news scenarios in the recent past.

The four-year crypto cycle, which is separated by the Bitcoin halvings, is set to be significantly disrupted beyond 2025 due to the high proliferation of institutional investors. Some altcoins, led by MANTRA OM $7.59 24h volatility: 0.2% Market cap: $7.40 B Vol. 24h: $362.89 M , have already rallied more than 200x in the past year, thus signaling their potential 2025 cycle in the near future.

However, it is safe to say that the larger altcoin industry, led by Ethereum ETH $2 769 24h volatility: 5.0% Market cap: $333.82 B Vol. 24h: $18.23 B , has not experienced the parabolic rally for the 2024/2025 crypto bull rally. Furthermore, the Altcoins/BTC pair has been bleeding since April 2021 and Bitcoin dominance has been gaining ground in the altcoin industry.

Consequently, the much-anticipated altseason will happen in the near term as soon as the BTC dominance, currently at about 61.3%, reverses below 50%. The best signal for the onset of the altseason will be the reversal of the ETH/BTC pair, which has been forming lower lows and lower highs in the past three years in the higher time frames.

From a technical analysis standpoint, Ether price is in the final dip before a major send-off to a new all-time high in the coming months.

We’ve entered the FINAL dip before Altseason!$BTC and altcoins are set to go parabolic after this correction.

Just a few right low-caps will turn your $150 into $25,000.

The altcoin industry has grown to a robust sector despite the mixed market outlook for 2025. The high proliferation of institutional investors in the altcoin industry, more so through the real-world assets (RWA) tokenization, has increased the overall crypto optimism for an inevitable altseason.

The leadership change in the United States through the Trump administration has significantly stabilized the cryptocurrency market. The future of digital assets has been secured, with more nation-states already working with web3 companies to revitalize their respective economies.

The use of digital assets to streamline cross-border payments and open up markets that were previously locked out by the siloed traditional banking system has helped onboard millions of users to the altcoin sector. As a result, the total crypto market cap, which hovered around $3.26 trillion at the time of this writing, will eventually overtake Gold’s valuation in the near future.
