Why I Believe the 2025-26 Altseason Will Mirror 2017-18
Every time I study the altcoin charts, I get this strong sense of déjà vu. It genuinely feels like the upcoming Altseason of 2025-26 is going to play out very similarly to what we saw back in 2017-18.
Let me explain why I think that:
First off, Trump was president during the 2017-18 cycle—and it looks like history might be repeating itself.
Back then, altcoins didn’t pump in Q1, and we’re seeing the same trend again this time around.
The Fed wasn’t doing Quantitative Easing (QE) during that cycle—and just like then, it isn’t doing QE now either.
Meanwhile, China was doing QE during 2017-18, and guess what? That’s happening again too.
Putting all this together, I’m fairly confident that altcoins are setting up for a prolonged rally starting in Q2, with a blow-off top likely in Q1 of 2026.
Let’s see how it all plays out—but if history is any guide, the signs are all there.
