Jakarta, Pintu News – The month of August was once again in the spotlight in the crypto world. The same pattern repeats itself every year: altcoin prices plummet considerably, leaving investors wary. However, history has shown that this month’s sharp drop is actually the beginning of a major resurgence in the cryptocurrency market.
Will 2025 be a repeat of the same cycle, with the alt-season again presenting opportunities to profit by hundreds of percent? The latest data and trends show interesting signals that market participants should pay close attention to.

August is already a scourge for cryptocurrency investors. Since 2023, altcoins have experienced sharp declines in this month before finally bouncing higher later in the year. In 2023 and 2024, altcoin market capitalization has fallen by 28% and 40% respectively. Assuming an exchange rate of 1 USD = IDR16,396, if a crypto asset worth $10,000 plummets by 40%, the loss is equivalent to IDR65 million!
However, history shows that this decline signals the beginning of altseason, a time when many alternative cryptocurrencies rise rapidly. Sensitive crypto investors usually wait for the August “sickness” to start shopping for cheap altcoins.
According to AshCrypto analysts on X (Twitter), after a sharp decline in August 2023 and 2024, the altcoin market had risen with a rally of more than 140% in the next few months. Imagine, Rp10 million capital in the right crypto can turn into Rp24 million in just one altseason!
By 2025, a similar pattern is beginning to emerge. Altcoins are already down 13% from their peak, and analysts predict there is potential for another 8-10% drop before they really hit bottom. If the historical pattern repeats itself, this decline is just a “warm-up” before altcoins rally dramatically again.

Ethereum (ETH) is in the limelight because it always triggers the beginning of the altseason. Analyst predictions even say the ETH price has the potential to reach $8,000 (equivalent to IDR131,168,000). Endorsements from public figures and Altcoin Season Index data rising to 45 (close to the 75 limit for a full altseason) show positive sentiment is getting stronger.
Ethereum is known as the crypto with the most active ecosystem. If this prediction comes to pass, a rise in ETH is almost always followed by a surge in the price of other cryptocurrencies. The profit potential is even greater for investors who dare to take a position when the price drops.

When Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) drops from 65% to 62%, it means that investor funds are starting to flow out of Bitcoin and into altcoins. This is one of the strongest signals altseason is coming. The chart from TradingView shows that capital rotation is happening, and Ethereum is still holding at a high price.
If this trend continues, even mid- to small-cap cryptos have the potential to record significant price increases, just like the previous alt-seasons.
Based on the history of the past 3 years, August is the best month for investors to collect selected crypto at a discount. The “buy the dip” strategy is suggested by many analysts, including Eric Trump at X. However, as always in the cryptocurrency world, keep doing your research and good risk management as volatility is very high.
If the pattern of previous years is repeated, then September to the end of the year has the potential to be a profit harvest season for altcoin investors.
If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, August could be the perfect time to start organizing your cryptocurrency portfolio. With a history of corrections this month and a potential surge of up to 140% in the following months, the opportunity for profit is still wide open. Just stay vigilant, analyze, and don’t get carried away by euphoria.
