On July 18, 2025, the altcoin market shows signs of a significant breakthrough that could trigger the long-awaited altcoin season. According to analysts, the market capitalization of altcoins (excluding the top 10) has increased by 26% in recent weeks, approaching new all-time highs. This surge is linked to the drop in Bitcoin's dominance to 59.5%, reflecting a rotation of capital into alternative cryptocurrencies. Ethereum has already broken the $3600 level, while lesser-known assets like NEAR and TON are showing a 9-10% increase in a day, fueling investor optimism.
Technical analysis indicates the completion of a six-month accumulation phase, with the formation of a breakout macro structure after a 60% correction. Experts predict a potential 10x or even 20x for promising altcoins if the trend continues. This is supported by institutional investments, such as the launch of Bitwise NEAR Staking ETP, and innovations in blockchains, for example, the integration of AI agents into NEAR. At the same time, the market faces risks of volatility and overbought conditions, requiring caution.
This breakthrough could be a turning point for the crypto industry, expanding its influence on global finance. Stay tuned for news to not miss opportunities!
