Altcoin market cap (excluding BTC) rises 5% in a week, hinting at a bullish breakout.BNB price eyes $770 resistance, breaking it could push the token past $793 ATH.Merlijn the Trader predicts an alt-season based on moving average crossovers.If history repeats, the $1.2T altcoin market cap could surge as in 2021’s rally.

The total crypto market cap stands at $3.16 trillion over the past three weeks, witnessing massive fluctuations over this period. Bitcoin BTC $96 656 24h volatility: 1.3% Market cap: $1.92 T Vol. 24h: $17.95 B and altcoins are gradually diverging as BTC remains stuck near the $96,000 mark.

Altcoins are projecting a potential bounce back. The total crypto market cap excluding Bitcoin has increased by nearly 5% over the past week.

Among the top altcoins, the BNB coin BNB $669.6 24h volatility: 4.0% Market cap: $97.75 B Vol. 24h: $1.01 B is projecting massive upside potential. Will this underlying potential drive BNB coin prices to the $1,000 milestone? Let’s find out.

In the weekly chart, the BNB price action showcases a rising channel pattern. Over the last week, the altcoin price increased by nearly 10%.

The bullish recovery combined with the previous Doji candle completes a morning star pattern. This reversal pattern near the crucial support trend line hints at a potential upcycle.

Furthermore, the bullish engulfing candle undermined the 7.44% drop in late January. As the BNB coin price sustains dominance above the 50-week EMA line and prolongs the resonance within the channel pattern, the upside potential is gradually increasing.

The 7-day high of BNB coin price remains at $732, and it is currently trading at $672. This reveals a significant pullback during the week of nearly 8%.

Despite the increased volatility, the weekly RSI line maintains a sideways shift slightly above the halfway level. This suggests significant bullish momentum at lower levels.

As the upcycle in the altcoin price gains momentum, the bulls are likely to challenge the overhead trendline near $770. A bullish breakout of this crucial resistance will likely challenge the all-time high level at $793.

Optimistically, the bullish breakout could reach the $1,000 mark if a new alt-season begins in 2025. On the flip side, the crucial support for BNB coin price remains near $600.

As top crypto tokens wait for the next alt-season for a parabolic rise, Merlijn the trader highlights multiple key triggers. These triggers hint at a new alt-season coming into the crypto market in 2025.

Firstly, the 100-week moving average and 200-week moving average of the total crypto market cap, excluding Bitcoin, is on the verge of giving a bullish crossover. The previous golden crossover between these two moving averages happened right during the 2021 alt-season.

At that point in time, the altcoin market stood near $200 billion. As per the current data, the nearly $1.2 trillion altcoin market could witness a similar peak if history repeats itself.

It’s happening again.

Furthermore, a separate tweet shows Bitcoin dominance is reaching a high supply zone, slightly above the 50% mark. Meanwhile, Ethereum is at its lowest against Bitcoin since the 2021 bull market.

As Bitcoin dominance hits a crucial supply zone and Ethereum-to-Bitcoin is near a crucial support zone, the setup hints at an explosive alt-season coming shortly.
