Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe is stirring debate about when the next ‘altseason’ might arrive, suggesting it might not be aligned with traditional market cycles. He argues that many altcoins have lagged behind since late 2021, and recent market trends point to a shift from hype to actual structural growth. Van de Poppe believes this divergence signals a new era of market behavior where the timing of an ‘altseason’ may no longer be as crucial as it once was. This suggests that real gains might occur when confidence is low, creating the ideal conditions for investment opportunities. He notes several macro trends that could contribute to altcoin growth: lower interest rates, a weakening dollar, and anticipated shifts in global foreign policy. These factors create conditions conducive to increased risk appetite and capital flow towards altcoins.
