Michael van de Poppe predicts the altcoin season for the next two years

Despite the recent drop in the price of bitcoin BTC $97,052.86 Bitcoin 2.27% Market capitalization $1.92 trillion VOL. 24 hours $2.68 billion by almost 7% after reaching the $ 100,000 mark, its market dominance remains stable, holding just below 58%. While the market is experiencing a downturn, industry experts predict a new surge in the altcoin segment.

Famous crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe said that the next two years could be an era of explosive growth for altcoins. In his forecasts, he compared this period to the financial booms of 1928−1929 and 1998−1999, when new technologies caused significant market growth.

Analyzing the data, van de Poppe noted that the cryptocurrency market is approaching a «peak cycle» that could be a golden opportunity for investors. He draws special attention to the so-called «140-day golden window» when Bitcoin’s dominance is historically declining and altcoins are showing strong growth.

The altcoin season index has already risen to 51, which signals a growing interest in this segment. However, the market remains in the «Bitcoin season,» as less than 25% of altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin over the past 90 days. Experts expect that altcoins may make a significant breakthrough in the first quarter of 2025.

According to forecasts, projects such as Ethereum ETH $3,212.96 Bridged Ether (StarkGate) 1.76% Market capitalization $0.29 billion VOL. 24 hours $1.21 billion and Solana SOL $188.31 Solana 2.41% Market capitalization $91.24 billion VOL. 24 hours $0.49 billion , along with new blockchain innovations, may have the greatest potential for growth in 2025. The decline in Bitcoin’s dominance creates opportunities for the growth of altcoins, which could radically change the market structure.
