Altcoins are collectively rebounding at a very critical level. This chart shows: The total crypto market cap excluding BTC, ETH, and stablecoins. The most noteworthy point is— The total market cap of altcoins has returned to the long-term ascending support level that has been maintained for years, and it’s already starting to bounce back. Looking back: 2019 → Bottom formation 2021 Bull Market → Altcoins exploded across the board 2022 → Bottom formation again 2024–2025 → Altcoin total market cap skyrocketed by approximately +380% And now: 2026 → Once again near the long-term trend support level. The truly critical next step, in my opinion, isn’t rushing to guess which altcoin will take off. Instead, wait for two signals: ① Bitcoin confirms re-entry into a more complete bull market trend ② BTC Dominance starts to weaken, especially breaking below the 58% level If BTC stabilizes first, and funds begin to flow from: BTC → ETH → Large-cap Altcoins → Mid- and small-cap Altcoins Gradually spreading toward high-beta assets, That’s when the real big move for altcoins might begin. ⚠️ Of course, long-term support and similar patterns to past cycles don’t guarantee history will repeat itself; BTC Dominance breaking a certain number isn’t a standalone confirmation of an "Altcoin Season." But this level is definitely worth watching closely. Bitcoin might be responsible for opening the door to the bull market, BTC Dominance will determine when funds start flowing into altcoins. If the next round of fund rotation truly begins, what we’re seeing now might just be the first phase of the altcoin rebound.
