After months of Bitcoin dominance keeping altcoins in check, crypto analysts now believe the long-awaited altcoin season could finally be upon us. With Bitcoin recently hitting an all-time high above $113,000, its dominance is only just fluctuating below 60%There are signs that liquidity could soon turn around in the altcoin, paving the way for a major breakout.
Altcoin market cap nears breakout zone
As October 2025 drags on, analysts are turning bullish, signaling the start of a new altcoin season. According to the crypto analyst Bitcoinsensus the overall altcoin market cap shows a strong technical setup that could represent a major step forward.
Data shows altcoins are finally breaking above a major three-year resistance at around $1.46 trillion, a level that has limited growth since 2021.
A confirmed monthly close above this level could lead to what many are calling a ‘massive breakout’.
Adding to the optimism, this is the third MACD breach in eight years, a signal that has marked altcoin rallies in the past. Veteran analyst Mustache also emphasized that altcoins have turned their 2021 high into strong support, strengthening the case for a big move forward.
“Altcoin season will not be canceled.” “It’s coming – and it will be huge. Mark my words.”
Bitcoin dominance is losing steam
Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s dominance is starting to show early signs of weakness. Analysts believe that a sustained decline below 55% could open the door for altcoins to outperform.
The bearish MACD flip on Bitcoin’s dominance chart further supports this view, indicating that capital rotation could already be underway.
Crypto trader Mr. Crypto repeated this feeling, saying:
“Bitcoin is collapsing on its parabolic uptrend. The liquidity rotation has begun and we are entering the biggest bull run in history. The best risk/reward is now in altcoins.”
What next for Altcoin?
Meanwhile, Google search data shows a 40 to 50% increase in altcoin searches at the end of September. This momentum is consistent with past trends, as October and November often deliver strong crypto gains.
If these patterns hold, analysts say the fourth quarter of 2025 could mark the start of the next big altcoin rally, one that could match or even surpass 2021’s bull run.
