The truth about Alt-Season !!
Many people are complaining "This altcoin season is not like the previous years", but in reality, Alt-SS has occurred multiple times in this cycle, just in the form of "mini versions":
Memecoins: PEPE, WIF, BONK, DOGE
Individual narratives: Ena, RNDR, FET, FTM, ONDO, HYPE, SOL…
All have had crazy price increase phases.
Many misunderstand: Alt-SS is not "every coin pumps at the same time". The historical reality is as follows:
2017: ICO boom
2018: downtrend, only a few standout projects (EOS, some others)
2019: Litecoin leads, then LINK
2020: "DeFi Summer"
2021: Layer-1 and NFT
2023: Memecoin + SOL
2024: crossover AI + RWA
Alt-SS always has alternating waves, not all coins fly at once.
The good news is that Ethereum is trending more positively than Bitcoin → opening opportunities for many Altcoins to outperform strongly. If you have traded well in this cycle, continuing the old strategy could reward you x10 by the market, and current DOm also supports a lot of upward price movement.
The bad news is those who complain all day:
"ALTSS is so boring, no coin is pumping strongly"
"I wish I had bought earlier in 2021"
"It’s bound to lure longs and then crash
Why is it an uptrend but I keep getting stopped out"
Even if ETH is above $10k, it won't save you. BTC has been rising for 3 years now – but profits are only for those who know how to catch the right waves and take action.
From here on, the market developments will be very crazy and complex, folks.
Look ahead to the end of Q4 2025.
