📈 Altseason Momentum Builds: Are 10x–100x Altcoin Gains on the Horizon in 2025?
The altcoin market, despite recent market corrections and prolonged periods of negative sentiment, is leaning into what could be the perfect setup for an extended altcoin bull run.
Investors who have remained patient during the earlier downturn might soon be rewarded, as several structural patterns and historical trends are signaling that a major breakout is ahead.
The Big Picture: A “Cup and Handle” Breakout Looms
The analyst CryptoJelleNL highlights a major technical setup on the TOTAL3 chart, which tracks the total market cap of all altcoins excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum. The chart shows a classic “cup and handle” pattern, with the “handle” forming throughout 2024.
💬 #Altcoins are pushing for a breakout from the massive cup & handle!Pattern almost completed – break above $1T again and I doubt this train stops moving anytime soon.Higher! — Jelle (@CryptoJelleNL) July 11, 2025
This pattern is a powerful bullish signal for technical traders. The total altcoin market cap is now testing the key $1 trillion resistance level. According to the analysis, a decisive break above this level could push valuations toward $1.4 trillion or even higher. The fact that the $800 billion level has held as strong support reinforces the bullish case.
🔸 History Rhymes: The “Altseason Zone” Is Here
Analyst Wimar.X adds more fuel to the bullish narrative. He notes that his proprietary Altcoin Index has now officially entered the “altseason zone.” This is a specific condition where altcoins typically begin to outperform Bitcoin by a wide margin.
This exact scenario played out in both 2017 and 2021, two periods that delivered 100x returns for select, high-performing altcoins. With the current cycle shaping up in a similar way, Wimar.X projects that the total market cap for altcoins could soar to as high as $15 trillion by the end of this bull run🚀
