Accumulation Phase is Done—This is When the Altseason 3.0 May Trigger, Marking the Highs Above $5T

Historically, Q2 has been the strongest quarter for the crypto markets, wherein Bitcoin price attracts more than a 25% rise and Ethereum price more than 60%. While most still fear Trump’s tariff shock, the market has already rebounded to the Liberation Day levels. The greedy longs have gotten wiped out while the overleverage is gone. Hence, this is when the real rally begins, and when the BTC dominance is flashing the possibility of a pullback, the start of a strong Altseason seems to be inevitable. 

The Bitcoin dominance is rising and has been displaying a different pattern than before. Previously, the levels underwent extreme upswings or downswings, but the levels have been rising within a consolidated ascending trend, forming higher highs and lows. Moreover, the volume has spiked to the levels when BTC dominance dropped after marking the highs at 70% in 2021. Therefore, the levels have reached one of the crucial resistances, and if the levels face rejection here, the Altseason may begin. 

On the other hand, if the levels break above, it may reach the crucial resistance between 71.36% and 72.7%. 

When will Altseason 3.0 Begin?

The altcoin charts have been displaying a similar pattern to the one they displayed during the altseason of 2017-18. Donald Trump was the president then, and the altcoins did not surge in Q1, which happened this time too. The FED or China did not do Quantitative Easing (QE) like now, and hence, the altcoins are expected to have a prolonged rally from Q2 with a blow-off top somewhere in Q1, 2026, as they did before. 

The above chart shows the altcoin market capitalisation chart of 2016, 2020 and 2024, which shows a similar pattern. The levels accumulated in a similar pattern just before the 2017 and 2021 bull runs. Considering the levels could again trigger a similar run, the altcoins seem to be at the foothill of Altseason 3.0. If the levels undergo a similar rise, the altcoin market capitalisation could rise to as high as $5 trillion, somewhere in Q1-Q2 2026.
