Current market signs indicate that altcoins may be entering a new active cycle. Compared to the beginning of the year, there have been significant changes in the crypto space. Although many retail investors are eager to participate in altcoin investments, the overall sentiment is still constrained by panic and skepticism towards positive news.
Unlike the bull market in 2021, there is currently no large-scale influx of retail funds. The main participants in the market remain institutional investors and large holders. Their trading pace is rapid, leaning towards short-term operations, and they lack the motivation for long-term holding. After a prolonged period of consolidation and chip arrangement, altcoins have finally surged recently. The overall pattern also somewhat resonates with the market cycles of 2016 and 2020. If this trend continues, we may be at the starting point of the 2025 altcoin boom.
