Bull Market Rhythm Map: BTC → ETH → Altcoins, the Relay Race Has Just Reached the Second Leg

In the crypto market, each bull market has a fixed rhythm.

Understanding this rhythm is much more important than just watching the market — because it can tell you where the funds are making their move, and where you should position yourself.

2. Current Position

• BTC has stabilized at a high level, testing the 120,000 - 130,000 range multiple times.

• ETH has entered a high range, starting to challenge its historical high.

• The Altcoin Index is still around 30, with most coins yet to be ignited by large funds, meaning the real “Altcoin Season” is still brewing.

3. Signals for Altcoin Market Activation

1. ETH breaks through or stabilizes at historical highs (4800+).

2. BTC and ETH are consolidating at high levels with narrowing fluctuations.

3. Secondary mainstream coins (like DOT, SOL) suddenly see volume increase, with daily gains of over 10% sustained for multiple days.

Historically, once these three conditions appear simultaneously, a widespread rally in altcoins often unfolds within two weeks.

4. Why Wait for the Rhythm

The main players' strategy is simple:

• First, use BTC and ETH to build market confidence, allowing institutions and large holders to step in.

• Then, use altcoins to boost sentiment, attracting retail investors and completing the sell-off.

If you exhaust your resources during the BTC phase, you will miss out on the high-multiple opportunities in the second half; if you only heavily invest during the altcoin phase, you are likely to be buying at the peak.

5. Conclusion

The current market is still in the ETH handoff stage, and the altcoin season has not truly begun.

Moving forward, the most important thing to watch is not how much BTC fluctuates daily, but whether ETH can maintain its high level and whether it can drive secondary mainstream coins to increase in volume.

When social media and news outlets start reporting extensively on the “Altcoin Doubling Wave,” that will be the real time to consider “getting out.”

Making big money in a bull market is not about trading every day, but about — whether you can break out during the key leg of the relay race.
