The long-awaited “altcoin season” might be closer than most expect. While the market isn’t fully there yet, altcoins have shown signs of life with a sharp four-day rally that lifted total capitalization from around $1.4 trillion.
According to popular trader CryptoELITES, the setup is beginning to resemble the explosive rally of late 2020, a period that triggered altcoin gains of up to 50x.
CryptoELITES believes the market is once again following the same rhythm seen five years ago. Back in August 2020, altcoins began to rise just after key shifts occurred, bond yields fell, the dollar cooled, and gold dipped slightly.
The same pattern is unfolding again in November 2025, with indicators showing early signs of liquidity returning to higher-risk assets.
He highlights that the white trendline, which marked the 2020 breakout, is once again being tested. If this level holds, the setup could confirm the start of a massive uptrend heading into 2026.
“Even if Bitcoin dominance rises temporarily, this time the rhythm isn’t broken — just delayed.”
His chart also compares altcoin performance against defensive assets such as Bitcoin dominance, gold, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), and U.S. 10-year Treasury yields (US10Y), metrics that historically shift right before altcoins rally.
For most of the past five months, Bitcoin has dominated the crypto market, attracting nearly all capital inflows. However, recent data suggests that dominance is finally starting to slip.
Bitcoin’s market dominance has dropped 5.13% over the last five months, now holding near 60%.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price has declined 15% in the past 30 days, signaling a cooling phase as funds begin rotating into altcoins.
CryptoELITES also points to a long-term support trend that has held since 2019, proving that the market’s rhythm remains intact despite several corrections. If this trend continues, the next move could see altcoins surge up to 50x, echoing the historic growth witnessed in 2021.
Currently, the Altcoin Season Index stands at 39 out of 100, still deep within “Bitcoin Season” territory. But that could soon change if CryptoELITES’ analysis plays out.
