3 Key Signals Pointing Toward an Impending Altcoin Season

A cryptocurrency analyst has identified some key reasons why users remain positive about an upcoming altcoin season. In his latest , the analyst noted that the current bull cycle differs from previous ones, with the crypto market displaying some irregularities in the movement of individual digital assets.

According to the analyst, the first signal that boosts crypto users’ confidence in an impending altcoin season is a declining Bitcoin dominance. The analyst described the falling Bitcoin dominance as the first sign that altcoins are gaining momentum in the cryptocurrency market. Data from CoinMarketCap shows the metric pulled back from around 65.00% in June 2025 to 59.77% at the time of writing.

It is worth noting that the analyst based his opinion on Bitcoin’s historical dominance. According to him, the metric’s behavior typically precedes a change of trend in the cryptocurrency market. The analyst noted that Bitcoin dominance falls when Bitcoin’s price falls faster than the rest of the crypto market, or when altcoins’ prices rise faster than Bitcoin’s.

In the meantime, the analyst identified monetary expansion as the second important signal to consider when investigating the potential of an altcoin season. He noted that December 1, 2025, the date when the US plans to end Quantitative Tightening, could be crucial in the current crypto market dispensation.

According to the analyst, the event would require the Fed to tighten liquidity by pulling out money from the market, a development that could boost demand for digital assets. However, he prioritized the large-cap cryptocurrencies as the initial beneficiaries of the Fed’s upcoming decision before a downward cascade that would positively affect lower-ranked crypto assets.

The analyst further identified the reopening of the US government as a potential signal for the next altcoin season. He highlighted the government’s role in daily spending, noting that government structures underpin the global economy. According to him, ending the shutdown would relieve several aspects of the economy and boost the markets, including the cryptocurrency market.
