Bitcoin appears to be mirroring its 2024 performance.
In the first quarter of last year, we observed a consolidation phase, followed by liquidity withdrawal, culminating in a price surge that propelled BTC to levels exceeding $70,000.
Now, in 2025, a similar pattern seems to be unfolding: consolidation plus liquidity withdrawal. Could this lead to a surge toward $140,000 or higher?
Is Ethereum Signaling the Start of Altcoin Season?
If Ethereum continues to rise while Bitcoin moves sideways or declines, this could indicate the beginning of an altcoin season.
Why Is a Rising ETH a Sign of Altcoin Season?
Ethereum is the leading altcoin, and when it starts outperforming Bitcoin, other altcoins often follow.

How Can You Tell When Altcoin Season Has Begun?
A strong and sustained rally in the ETH/BTC pair.
A notable increase in the prices of mid- and small-cap altcoins.
A decline in Bitcoin dominance.
With Ethereum currently at $2,215 (+2.56%) and Bitcoin at $86,285 (-0.89%), ETH appears to be gaining momentum while BTC consolidates. Could this be the beginning of altcoin season?
