Altcoins at a Critical Point: Over 4 Years of Consolidation!
If you look at the Total Market Cap (Top 10 Excluded) /
$BTC ratio, one thing becomes very clear:
Altcoins have been under systematic consolidation since 2021.
This is not a random downtrend.
2017 → Altseason
2019 → DeFi wave
2021 → Broad altcoin expansion
And since 2022, the price has been moving within a well-defined downtrend channel, steadily losing value against Bitcoin.
From Bitcoin dominance → gradual altcoin rotation.
This does not mean “altseason tomorrow.”
It means the downward asymmetry is decreasing, while upward risk is starting to increase.
Markets do not reverse abruptly.
They squeeze, exhaust, and then enter rotation.
The question for 2026 isn't whether altcoins will move,
but who will take early positions and who will react late.
Do you think this is another failed attempt, or the early stage of the next rotation cycle?
