After Bitcoin’s dominance in the market began to ease, altcoins saw a surge in price, pushing Ethereum past its previous all-time high. Crypto influencer Mister Crypto believes the next six months could be pivotal for this sector, citing BlockchainCenter’s index as a sign of shifting trends. 2Lambroz, however, expresses skepticism about the cycle. He points out that unlike 2021, when retail enthusiasm drove strong market movements fueled by Reddit activity, today’s volatility lacks the same conviction. Commentator Rekt Fencer responded to this sentiment with a humorous take: ‘This is the ALTSEASON we’ve all been waiting for.’ Despite only seeing a 10% jump in altcoin prices, the community remains excited, and a technical analysis by Trader Moustache suggests a pattern similar to past cycles. He even declared, “Altseason 2025 has officially begun.” Meanwhile, macroeconomic factors like India-Pakistan tensions easing and trade talks between the US and China advancing have injected optimism into the crypto market, boosting investment confidence. However, bears caution that without renewed retail buying activity, this ‘rotation’ could dry up once large-cap altcoins reach their peak. The question remains: Will 2025 see a repeat of the explosive rallies witnessed in previous years or will a lack of fresh funding derail the momentum?
