$BTC ALTSEASON 2026? THE SETUP NO ONE IS PAYING ATTENTION TO 🚨
The question isn’t if altseason can happen — it’s whether the conditions are finally aligning. And right now, the chart structure is starting to look uncomfortably familiar.
Altcoin cycles don’t ignite randomly. Historically, they begin after OTHERS/BTC bottoms and breaks its downtrend. That exact sequence played out in Q4 2016 → 2017 and Q4 2020 → 2021. Bottom first. Breakout next. Then altcoins massively outperform Bitcoin.
Fast forward to now:
OTHERS/BTC has been bleeding for nearly four years. RSI is more oversold than ever, MACD is turning green after 21 months, and a bullish crossover is forming. The structure strongly suggests a Q4 2025 bottom, with price pressing against a breakout zone.
Zoom out further — the Russell 2000 is already breaking and holding above prior highs, historically a leading indicator for risk-on alt moves. The same trigger preceded the last two alt cycles.
This cycle wasn’t canceled.
It was delayed by liquidity, policy, and timing.
Now those headwinds are easing.
Nothing is guaranteed — but when these pieces align, history tends to rhyme loudly.
