Altcoin Season Could Be Just 112 Days Away – Here’s What Might Spark It

Jakarta, Pintu News – Altcoin investors have often heard that altcoin season is about to begin, but the question is: when exactly will it happen?

A well-known crypto trader, Don Wedge, believes that the next altcoin season may have already begun to quietly take shape and could start in the next 112 days, based on past market patterns.

Altcoin Season 112 Days Away?

According to Don Wedge, the long-term chart of Altcoins against BTC shows a pattern that keeps repeating itself. To date, the market has experienced two major altcoin seasons.

The altcoin season happened in 2017, when Bitcoin’s dominance declined and many altcoins surged between 500% and over 2,000%. This rise came after months of slow and boring price movements, when most traders had already lost interest.

Altcoin season happened in 2021. After Bitcoin (BTC) peaked at around $69,000, the flow of funds started to move to altcoins. Ethereum (ETH) rose by more than 400%, and many other smaller coins went even higher. Again, the rally started after a long consolidation phase and when market confidence was weak.

Both seasons show that altcoins start to rise precisely when market sentiment is low, not when there is euphoria.

Don now shows that the Altcoins/BTC chart is again near an important long-term support level. In previous cycles, this zone marked the beginning of a strong altcoin rally. Based on this pattern, Don believes the third altcoin season could start in the next 112 days.

Altcoin Season Three Could Be Bigger

Unlike 2017 and 2021, there are still many institutional funds waiting on the sidelines. Many big players are waiting for clearer regulations. If regulatory certainty comes when altcoins have started to show an upward trend, then the next altcoin season could be bigger and faster than ever.

In addition, current market data suggests an initial rotation into certain sectors, rather than an even rise across all altcoins.

Utility tokens, AI-based projects, real-world asset (RWA) tokens, and infrastructure-focused coins are showing early strength.

Altcoin Season Index Still Favors Bitcoin

Despite bullish signals starting to emerge, the Altcoin Season Index currently stands at 43, down 4 points in the near term. This shows that Bitcoin is still outperforming most of the top 100 coins over the past 90 days.

Historically, the altcoin season does not start when the index is high. Instead, it usually starts when the index is below 50 and Bitcoin’s dominance is still strong. The index only rises after altcoins start moving up.

For now, the market feels calm and tiring. But history shows that it’s phases like this that are often the silent start of the altcoin season.
