A notable shift may be emerging on the cryptocurrency horizon, as veteran analyst CryptoBull forecasts the onset of a major altcoin season, a period when alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) outperform Bitcoin in market growth. Among the altcoins expected to rise significantly is XRP, the digital asset linked to Ripple.
According to CryptoBull, market trends indicate a likely decisive shift from Bitcoin to altcoins in the next three months—an event that could propel explosive growth for XRP and other undervalued tokens.
Bitcoin Dominance in an Ascending Wedge
The technical foundation for CryptoBull's prediction stems from the Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) chart, which tracks Bitcoin's market share relative to the entire cryptocurrency market. As of early June, BTC.D has charted an ascending wedge pattern—a formation traditionally seen as bearish, especially when it appears in an overextended trend.
The wedge chart is narrowing towards the top, indicating a potential breakdown signaling weakening strength of Bitcoin compared to the broader altcoin market. Historically, when BTC dominance experiences a similar breakdown, it is followed by a significant capital shift into altcoins, leading to widespread price increases. According to CryptoBull, this cyclical trend remains consistent, with technical indicators suggesting that a change in dominance may not only be possible but imminent.
XRP Prepares for Breakout
Among the altcoins benefiting from this rotation, XRP occupies a central position. While many investors view this asset as fundamentally undervalued, especially considering Ripple's expanding global presence and efforts to integrate real-world asset tokenization (RWA) into the financial market, CryptoBull emphasizes that XRP is poised for a significant move, backed by both technical patterns and broader market catalysts.
From a technical perspective, XRP has formed a long-term consolidation pattern, building support levels that analysts believe may soon give way to a parabolic breakout as market sentiment shifts strongly towards altcoins.
Macro Catalysts and Timeline
CryptoBull's forecast aligns with macroeconomic conditions and the broader market. Historically, altcoin seasons have followed key phases in the Bitcoin cycle—often when Bitcoin consolidates after a strong upward move, providing traders with the confidence to diversify into higher-risk assets. With Bitcoin having surged in Q1 2025 and now trading within a relatively narrow range, this period seems ready for capital rotation.
The next three months are considered crucial. CryptoBull believes that as Bitcoin dominance begins to decline from the ascending wedge pattern, liquidity will start to flow into the altcoin space. This timeline aligns with previous market cycles, such as early 2018 and mid-2021, when altcoins surged after Bitcoin's peak performance.
Additionally, the increasing involvement of institutions with XRP and XRPL, including Ripple's technology integration in areas like the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, enhances the token's appeal. As utility narratives capture attention, particularly around stablecoins and tokenized assets, the practical applications of XRP could become a major driving force behind price increases in the next wave of altcoin enthusiasm.
If history is any guide, the next three months could mark the beginning of a strong altcoin season, a season where XRP finally achieves its long-awaited breakthrough. As the cryptocurrency market evolves and narratives mature, XRP is increasingly viewed not just as a speculative asset but as a cornerstone of the financial infrastructure of the future.
