Analyst Osemka noted the total market cap of smaller cryptos replicates last year’s accumulation. The price remains in a rising channel that has stretched twice as long as previous cycles. The mid-range near $259 billion is the current pivot. Support sits at $245 billion, with key resistance at $340 billion.
This pattern of consistent higher lows suggests the market’s symmetry is not coincidental. The structure implies that altcoins could be preparing for another cyclical rebound. Consequently, many traders are positioning for potential upside as long as key support zones remain intact.
Adding to the bullish narrative, Crynet reported a major technical breakout. The total crypto market cap, excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum, has finally closed above the $1.13 trillion resistance. This barrier had rejected price advances six times over the past four years.
The last time this level was broken, the market soared from $350 billion to $1.13 trillion in 2021. Maintaining momentum above this zone would confirm a structural shift toward a sustained altcoin uptrend. Markets often retest breakout levels, so a short-term pullback is possible. Analysts, however, consider this breakout a strong technical signal that altcoins are entering a new growth cycle.
According to Bitcoinsensus, the Altcoin-to-Bitcoin ratio provides a final confirmation. The ratio has reached a major macro support zone near 0.10. This level has historically marked the beginning of previous altcoin seasons.
Each recovery from this region has triggered substantial rallies. If this pattern holds, the ratio could rise toward the 0.50 to 0.60 range over the next year. This would signal expanding altcoin dominance. With Bitcoin’s market share showing signs of topping out, analysts believe capital rotation into smaller cryptos may be underway. This suggests “Altcoin 3.0 Season” could soon unfold.
