Altcoin Season Loading: Bullish Factors That Point To A Massive Surge

The crypto market is showing early signs of a potential new altcoin season, with analysts referencing historical patterns and technical signals that hint at a rebound after a lengthy slump. Altcoins have recently lagged behind Bitcoin, but bullish factors from data and macroeconomic parallels are building optimism that a change in liquidity conditions might trigger a strong market-wide rally for altcoins. Crypto analyst Javon Marks notes that altcoin dominance has entered oversold conditions for the first time in history, with the indicator measuring the market share of all altcoins now the most oversold it has ever been. The OTHERS.D chart, which shows the market dominance percentage of all cryptocurrencies except the top 10 by market capitalization, reveals that dominance has declined sharply since its 2021 peak of around 20%. At the time of writing, the OTHERS.D dominance is around 7%, with a wave trend indicator at the bottom of the chart in deep negative territory, which is its lowest in history. Marks believes that such oversold conditions often precede strong reversals, meaning that selling pressure has been exhausted and that a major rebound could soon begin. Another technical perspective comes from analyst Ted Pillows, who compares current market conditions to the 2019-2020 cycle when the Federal Reserve ended quantitative tightening and later resumed quantitative easing. Pillows explains that while ending quantitative tightening may ease financial pressure, it does not directly inject liquidity into the economy, something altcoins need to rally, and that either the Fed starting another quantitative easing or the Treasury releasing Treasury General Account liquidity into the economy is needed. The US government is currently in a shutdown, but Pillows suggests that a Treasury General Account-driven liquidity release may occur once the fiscal impasse is resolved, which could serve as the next major driving force for the altcoin market. If the pattern repeats, altcoins may be entering one of their most attractive accumulation phases in years, with a potential strong market-wide rally on the horizon.
