Foreign media outlets, including Cointelegraph, are reporting that an altcoin season is on the horizon. Key indicators, such as TOTAL2 (the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies excluding Bitcoin), are showing bullish signals. TOTAL2 is currently testing the $1.5 trillion resistance level, a threshold last seen in January. Analysts anticipate that a break above this level could lead to a surge towards the all-time high of $1.72 trillion and beyond. The decreasing Bitcoin selling pressure is another factor fueling altcoin optimism. With fewer whales depositing BTC on exchanges, there's more capital potentially available to flow into the altcoin market. One expert suggests that the total market capitalization of altcoins could reach as high as $5 trillion this cycle, representing a potential 400% increase from current levels. This positive outlook suggests a significant opportunity for growth and investment in the altcoin space. ```
