A critical golden cross between the EMA200 and SMA200 for the total cryptocurrency market capitalization was recently confirmed. This signal previously marked the beginning of a massive altcoin season in 2021. The latest market movements indicate a similar trend.
Market Cycles and Breakouts
In the previous cycle, three peaks were reached: 2018, 2021, and 2025. The peak of 2018 was followed by a swift crash and a long period of consolidation. The market capitalization breakout over the 2018 peak was then confirmed in 2020-2021, creating the 2021 top. The 2018 peak turned into a key support zone during the 2021 rally. A similar pattern has emerged in 2025, with the market now holding above its previous highs, reflecting a cyclical trend.
Golden Cross Signals a Strong Bullish Trend
The blue EMA200 crossed above the orange SMA200, creating a golden cross that signaled the start of a robust bullish rise. A second golden cross has formed, contributing to the bullish momentum. The market capitalization already broke out above the 2021 high, affirming continued strength. The structure suggests maintaining above historical peaks within a bullish cycle, with long-term moving averages acting as support.
Upside Potential for Altcoins
The current market structure suggests further upside potential, with altcoins expected to benefit significantly. Historical cycles point to the possibility of gains in the current bull rally. Altcoins may come into focus with these shifts.
Crucial technical signals affirm the strength of the current market, with expectations of continued growth. Altcoins may play a pivotal role in future trend strength, supported by historical patterns.
