Recent analyst forecasts suggest that altcoin season may begin in Q4 2025, based on current market conditions and analytical indicators.
Analysts' Forecast on Altcoin Season
Analyst Max Crypto on platform X suggests that the altcoin season will start in Q4 2025, pointing to pro-crypto regulation and potential federal rate cuts as driving factors. He anticipates portfolios reaching all-time highs with cryptocurrencies recording 10x to 20x gains.
Current Market Conditions
The current market state indicates the altcoin index hovering at 53, fueling speculation about the impending altcoin season. However, some analysts, like Pulsechaiin, argue that the altcoin season can only begin once the markets escape the current macro bear trap. The completion of the cup-and-handle formation on the altcoin index chart last week also suggests potential upward movement.
Comparison of Ethereum and Bitcoin
On-chain analysis from CryptoQuant shows that the ETH/BTC ratio has reached yearly highs, potentially indicating a shift in market dynamics favoring Ethereum. Over the past three months, Ethereum has risen by 63%, while Bitcoin has only seen 3.7% growth. Nevertheless, Ethereum has yet to reach its all-time high since November 2021 and is facing strong selling pressure at the $4,800 mark.
Analysts agree that current market conditions and historical data may point to the beginning of the altcoin season in Q4 2025. However, uncertainties remain associated with potential macroeconomic changes.
