Throughout the year, altcoins have quietly moved sideways, not generating much excitement among most investors. But looking back at previous years, it becomes clear that there is a distinct pattern that often emerges: the last quarter brings real events.

Here’s what history shows:

In 2021, the cryptocurrency market (excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum) grew by more than 70% just in Q4. Then in 2024, we saw an even stronger increase of over 80% in the same period. Even in 2023, although the movement was slower, a similar trend began to form closer to the end of the year.

Now again, the market seems to be gearing up for another potential breakout in Q4. The sideways movement we’ve seen in recent months looks eerily familiar. And when this pattern forms quietly, it often ends with significant movement.

This is not just hype. It is based on the seasonal behavior of the total cryptocurrency market excluding BTC and ETH. When capital starts to flow into altcoins, events unfold quickly — and those who hesitate often miss the first part of the rally.

Smart investors prepare before the crowd reacts. If history is any guide, Q4 could be a turning point for altcoins again.

Check your portfolio. Set your strategy. Because when the breakout begins, it may not wait for you.

Q4 is approaching. And with it comes the spark for the next big move in altcoins.
