Altcoin Bear Market May Be Nearing Its End — Here’s What Crypto Analysts Expect Next

Jakarta, Pintu News – Altcoin investors may end 2025 without seeing any gains in their portfolios. However, many analysts remain optimistic even though the market capitalization of altcoins (TOTAL2) has dropped 30% from its peak this year.

What makes analysts believe that the altcoin bear market may be entering its final phase? The following points highlight the main reasons.

Why Altcoins Are Entering an Opportunity Phase

First, data from CryptoQuant shows that only about 3% of altcoins on Binance are trading above their 200-day moving average. This is the lowest point in history.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost cites a lack of liquidity and investor defensiveness as the main causes. Currently, investors are prioritizing capital preservation over placing funds in risky assets.

The fact that most altcoins are trading well below their long-term averages suggests undervaluation due to negative sentiment. Recent analysis from the BeInCrypto website reveals that altcoins such as XRP (XRP), Toncoin (TON), and Cardano (ADA) have strong fundamentals, but their prices have not been able to recover.

While market conditions may seem bleak, historical comparisons show that weak periods such as this are often attractive opportunities for patient investors.

“While it may seem counterintuitive, periods like this often provide the best opportunities. They can last for quite some time, especially if the market enters a prolonged bearish phase,” says Darkfost.

Second, fear and lack of interest from retail investors often open up the best price zones. Large investors usually take advantage of moments like this to accumulate.

Renowned analyst on platform X, CrediBULL Crypto, highlights this factor as a key signal to identify market bottoms. In his latest post, he emphasized that it is the public’s attention, not capital, that moves first.

When retail investors started losing interest, big players started buying. As signs of an initial upswing appear, retail attention slowly returns. Retail participation then drives the next phase of the bull run.

Technical Signals Show Potential Market Bottom

Third, a number of technical indicators suggest that the altcoin bear market may be nearing its end.

Renowned market analyst Michaël van de Poppe stated that the current level of altcoin market capitalization acts as a strong support. He described this area as “a zone that needs to be defended.”

“In the end, it seems that we are at a very important support level. It seems worth staying at this level. The solid bounce suggests that a green candle might emerge from this point,” said Michaël van de Poppe.

Some additional signals reinforce this view:

• The ratio of altcoin market capitalization (excluding the top 10) to Bitcoin is now at its strongest support level since 2017.
• The current dominance of altcoins is also on par with levels during the COVID-19 crisis, which was the beginning of a strong recovery.

These factors suggest that altcoins may be in the final stages of decline. The latest analysis from BeInCrypto also considers that the DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) strategy could be an effective move if started since December.

However, some analysts continue to warn against risks. They think that the altcoin season may not happen even until 2026.

Venture capital inflows are still weak, and market sentiment is likely to take a while to fully recover.
