Raoul Pal, CEO of Real Vision, believes the biggest altcoin season in history is just around the corner. Despite Bitcoin’s recent price swings, Pal remains confident, comparing the current market correction to past cycles that preceded major rallies. He estimates a 70% chance that the correction is over and expects Bitcoin to break away from its usual price patterns.
Bitcoin is still the market leader, but Pal says altcoins with strong communities are set for explosive growth. According to him, the biggest altcoin rally in history is just two weeks away. But what’s driving this prediction?
Bitcoin has struggled to break past $100,000, frustrating investors who expected a stronger move. It recently hit an all-time high of $109K, but analysts warn that prolonged consolidation could push prices down to the $94,200 support level.
Bitcoin’s price movements are heavily influenced by investor expectations around Federal Reserve policies. The January CPI report has affected rate-cut projections, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaling no rush to lower interest rates.
However, Pal argues that macroeconomic liquidity – not just rate cuts – is the real trigger for a market-wide rally. Once liquidity increases, he expects the entire crypto market, including altcoins, to take off.
Pal supports his bullish stance with key economic data. He highlights rising new orders and the ISM index crossing 50, a level that signals economic expansion. Historically, when the ISM surpasses this mark, Bitcoin and the broader crypto market tend to accelerate.
He believes this cycle could extend into late 2025 or even 2026, giving altcoins plenty of time to outperform.
Pal describes the upcoming market phase as the ‘Banana Zone’—a time when altcoins experience massive gains. While some traders expect instant rallies, he warns that patience is key. Altcoins typically take off once liquidity fully enters the market. With just two weeks before this shift, Pal sees this as a critical moment before altcoins go parabolic.
Not everyone is convinced about an immediate altcoin rally. Crypto analyst Miles Deutscher says altcoins are in a tricky spot – not quite in full altseason but also not in a Bitcoin-dominated market. He suggests that if Bitcoin dominance increases, it could officially signal “Bitcoin Season,” making altcoins riskier in the short term.
Over the next two weeks, the battle between Bitcoin and altcoins will become clearer. Will Bitcoin regain control, or will altcoins take center stage?
One thing is certain – big moves are coming.
The top altcoins vary, but Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Avalanche (AVAX) are strong contenders due to adoption, community, and ecosystem growth.
The last major altseason occurred in late 2021, during the crypto bull run, when many altcoins hit all-time highs alongside Bitcoin’s peak.
