- Altcoins rallied in past Q1s, and analysts predict a similar trend for 2025.
- Technical signals, including a golden cross, suggest strong bullish momentum ahead.
- Breakout patterns indicate altcoins may enter price discovery and sustain gains into March.
Recently, Bitcoin smashed past $100K, Ethereum climbed back to $3,400, while Solana and XRP gained strength. The total crypto market cap, excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum, jumped 4%, reaching levels last seen before December’s pullback. Investors now wonder if altcoins will repeat their early-year rallies from 2021 and 2024. History suggests strong momentum in Q1. Analysts believe another breakout could be on the horizon.
History Hints at Another Surge
Altcoins broke free from a three-year downtrend in late 2023, pushing the total market cap to $1.1 trillion. That rally lost steam, leading to a 25% drop by year-end. Despite setbacks, experts predicted a strong start in 2025. Titan of Crypto, a respected analyst, announced that the “final shakeout” had finished. His previous forecasts aligned with market shifts, strengthening his credibility.
Crypto investor Miky Bull spotted a familiar pattern, noting similarities between recent price movements and Q1 2024 trends. Technical indicators suggest momentum is building. A golden cross—a bullish indicator—appears close. The last golden cross in 2021 triggered a frenzy, sending altcoins skyrocketing. A similar setup now fuels speculation about another explosive run.
Chart Patterns Suggest an Altseason Is Coming
Altcoins shattered a multi-month trendline at the end of 2023, triggering gains in early 2024. A brief dip followed, but the market quickly bounced back. Analysts now see the same setup forming again, pointing to a potential surge through March.
Miky Bull highlighted a completed retest, which often signals a strong breakout. His research pointed to a 42-day accumulation phase—historically a launchpad for massive rallies. Analyst Jelle identified a bullish pennant forming near all-time highs, indicating price discovery could be next.
Momentum is growing. Resistance levels continue to weaken. Historical trends, technical signals, and renewed optimism suggest an altcoin rally is on the way. If past patterns hold, early 2025 may bring another wave of massive gains.
