Every time I look at Altcoin charts, it makes me feel that Altseason 2025-26 will be very similar to Altseason 2017-18.

First of all, Trump was the president during 2017-18 cycle.

During 2017-18 cycle, alts didn't pump in Q1 which happened this time too.

During 2017-18 cycle, FED was not doing QE just like now.

During 2017-18 cycle, China was doing QE and the same is true now.

I'm certain that alts are going to have a prolonged rally from Q2 with a blow-off top in Q1 2026.

Where are we in this crypto market cycle?

My guess is Optimism Phase

Tell me yours in the comments 👇

$FUN just had its most bullish breakout.

It just broke out of its 8-yr downtrend, and the reason is its immense utility.

On @FUNtoken_io, 10M+ games have been played.

It has distributed millions in rewards to its users and is 100% decentralized.

Talking about the price action, the rally seems to be just getting started.

Keep an eye on it.

Ethereum whales 1k–10k $ETH just added over 1.2M $ETH in weeks

Biggest accumulation spike in months

Smart money is loading up and whales are prepping.

$BTC has strong sell walls between $108K-$110K.

Meanwhile, there are strong bids around $105K.

Now, there are 2 scenarios possible here:

BTC will dump towards $105K before hitting a new ATH.

Or, the sell walls are just spoofs and as BTC will pump, they will be removed.

In either case, BTC is going to hit a new ATH very soon.

🚨 Russia may cut rates next month

Freedom reports that Central Bank of Russia could lower its key interest rate to 17–18% as early as July

Aksakov also confirmed that a July cut is being considered

After aggressive hikes to fight inflation, Russia might now be shifting gears

Altcoin MCap just had a bearish MACD cross.

But there's nothing to worry about.

With global markets looking good, I think alts soon have a pump.

And it'll cause a golden cross in the coming weeks.

In November 2024, Altcoin MCap almost had a bearish MACD cross.

This is just a play by smart money to make you panic sell before they send alts to new highs.

Nasdaq hit a new ATH.

S&P 500 hit a new ATH.

DXY is crashing hard.

Bitcoin ETFs inflow are rising.

But why is BTC still below its ATH?

This is primarily due to quarterly options expiry that will happen today.

Nearly $15B in BTC options will expire today, which is one of the biggest in 2025.

The max pain is at $102K, which means if BTC is closer to this price, both bulls and bears will lose.

This is why the BTC pump is getting retraced as big money is trying to push down BTC price towards its max pain.

Once the option expiry happens, I think BTC will catch-up really soon.

$KERNEL is looking clean on the lower TFs too

RSI is curving up with a clear bullish divergence, and price is holding strong above the key zone

And yea still bullish and expecting a pump from here

Long-term holders (LTHs) are stacking BTC at their fastest pace since Q3 2024.

Let me tell you something very interesting.

When BTC was around $28K, LTHs accumulated aggressively for 6-8 weeks.

After that, BTC pumped 150% in just a few months.

When BTC was around $60K, LTHs accumulated aggressively for 4-6 weeks.

After that, BTC pumped 80% in just a few months.

Now, BTC is around $100K-$110K and LTHs are buying for 4-5 weeks now.

You know what's coming next.

Retail is shorting BTC heavily.

BTC is down just 4% from its ATH, and the funding rate has turned negative.

This is why most people are calling for a crash as they will get rekt if BTC pumps.

But we all know what'll happen next.

Whenever the majority takes one side of a trade, the market usually moves to the other side.

In this case, I'm more and more convinced that BTC will soon hit a new ATH.

🇺🇸 US Jobless Claims came in at 236K, lower than the expected 245K

Labor market cooling steadily.
The Fed is getting what it wants.

Rate cuts are coming closer and market knows it.

Bitcoin’s illiquid supply just hit a new ATH, 14.35M $BTC now in strong hands

Less $BTC available = higher potential for explosive moves ahead

China keeps on adding more liquidity.

This week, PBOC has injected 1.5 trillion yuan into its economy via reverse repo operations.

And the biggest reason behind this is DXY dump, which gives freedom to others countries to print more without worrying about currency devaluation.

All of this is pushing global M2 supply to new highs, which means BTC pump will be even bigger.

$130K-$140K BTC in Q3 is coming 🚀

Crypto MCap has been in an uptrend since 2023.

During that timeframe, it has pumped nearly 350% and there's still upside left.

But there has been one thing which has happened differently.

During the last 2 cycles, alts pumped alongside BTC.

This cycle, BTC has pumped 600% from the bottom but alts have underperformed massively.

This is due to millions of token launches, along with Fed tightening monetary policy.

But now, this is about to change.

The Fed is hinting towards Q3 pivot, and PumpFun hype is also slowing down.

In a nutshell, there'll be more liquidity but less token launches.

This'll start Altseason 3.0 and will be life-changing for Altcoin holders.

Japan’s “MicroStrategy” betting big on $BTC

As they just bought 1,234 $BTC for $133M, bringing their total holdings to 12,345 BTC, worth a massive $1.33 BILLION

Crypto just got its biggest real-world utility.

Bill Pulte. Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency has ordered Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to prepare their businesses to count cryptocurrency as an asset for a mortgage.

If this gets approved, one can simply use their crypto as collateral to take home loans.

2 reasons this is very bullish:

➺ It'll add a real utility to crypto, as so far their major utility was just speculation

➺ It'll incentivize people to hold as they can easily use it as a collateral and don't need to sell.

$KERNEL dropped right into our marked zone and fired back up, clean confirmation of the setup

Holding the rest with SL at BE and Still eyeing that initial target ✔️
