“Altseason Will Never Happen Again.”
I love hearing that.
Because historically, the biggest opportunities show up when the majority has already given up.
Right now, the dominant narrative is simple:
• Altcoins are dead
• BTC dominance will stay high forever
• Retail already tried and failed
But markets don’t reward consensus thinking.
⸻
Why Hasn’t BTC Dominance Dropped Yet?
Because this cycle is extended.
Liquidity rotated differently.
Retail didn’t arrive at the usual late-cycle phase — they front-ran it.
In 2024/2025:
• Retail piled into alts at peak euphoria → got wiped
• Rotated into memecoins chasing quick gains → got wiped again
That double hit created trauma.
And trauma creates hesitation.
⸻
Here’s the Pattern People Forget
The strongest altseasons don’t begin when:
• Everyone is bullish
• Influencers are shilling
• Charts already look parabolic
They begin when:
• Sentiment is crushed
• Capital has rotated out
• People swear they’ll “never touch alts again”
Maximum pessimism has historically marked maximum opportunity.
⸻
Look at What Just Happened
During Bitcoin’s recent pullback, many altcoins:
• Held up relatively well vs BTC
• Stopped making aggressive lower lows
• Showed relative strength during volatility
That’s not random.
Relative strength during BTC weakness is often an early rotation signal.
Quiet accumulation > loud hype.
The Reality
BTC dominance doesn’t stay elevated forever.
Capital rotates.
It always does.
But rotation doesn’t begin when everyone expects it.
It begins when:
• Most are sidelined
• Liquidity is skeptical
• Conviction is low
This feels less like the end — and more like compression before expansion.
⸻
The Next Phase
If rotation confirms, the move won’t start with fireworks.
It will start slowly.
Then suddenly.
Then parabolic.
But only for those who positioned during disbelief — not during euphoria.
Patience is the edge.
