Next spring is expected to usher in an active period for altcoins. Let's break down the underlying market logic.



The core idea isn't that complicated. The Federal Reserve's easing policies, interest rate cuts, and balance sheet expansion—all these liquidity releases take time to permeate into the crypto market. After more than two years of deep correction, altcoins are approaching the release phase from both temporal and spatial dimensions.

So why does the influx of new funds necessarily lead to an altcoin season? Essentially, this is the most efficient path for capital to complete its harvest—and it also attracts more incremental funds into the crypto space. The entire process roughly unfolds as follows:

**Stage One**: Bitcoin leads the rally, boosting market sentiment with its popularity. Retail investors see Bitcoin rising and assume a bull market has begun, jumping in to follow the trend.

**Stage Two**: Bitcoin enters consolidation, and incremental funds start swapping into altcoins. An interesting dynamic here—Bitcoin's large market cap makes it difficult to rise rapidly, whereas altcoins, with smaller market caps, can achieve larger percentage gains with the same amount of capital, making them naturally more attractive.

**Stage Three**: Sector rotation effects become apparent. Metaverse concept coins, AI track tokens, blockchain game tokens, and others surge one after another, creating waves of "wealth mythologies." This demonstration effect stimulates FOMO among outside observers, ultimately leading to a nationwide rush—just the perfect window for selling off holdings.

The key to the logic is: simply pushing Bitcoin alone makes it hard for retail investors to achieve crazy profits, so a frenzy of speculation won't form. Altcoin seasons are a necessary stage for creating wealth illusions and completing capital cycles.

The current market may be dull, but future hype could become even more outrageous. This is an old routine—Bitcoin takes the main stage, while altcoins perform the supporting act. Keep an eye on the trends this spring, but be aware: volatility will be high, and risks are on your own.

ngl this just reads like exit liquidity theater with extra steps... they always play this same playbook, no? btc pumps, retail fomo's in, then alts become the exit door. been through this cycle enough times to know how it ends.

Based on the overlay analysis of RSI and Bollinger Bands, the spring launch window indeed shows promise of opening, but the key still lies in the pace of fuel supply.

Coming back with the same routine? Bitcoin gets pushed up, altcoins follow suit, retail investors act as bagholders... I can memorize this cycle already. Basically, it's a game of harvesting retail investors like a nested doll. Spring is coming, right? Then I better prepare for potential losses.

Ah, I know this routine too well. Basically, it's the standard three-step process of cutting leeks. Wait, can liquidity really penetrate into the altcoin side? It feels like just an excuse for the whales to manipulate the market. Spring? I think we should already be laying low now, don't wait too long. This move is indeed outrageous. Bitcoin has hit a new high, but the altcoins haven't reacted yet. It's quite frustrating. The most efficient way for capital to harvest profits is like this. The ones who always make money are those few. I've heard too many myths about altcoin season bringing sudden wealth. The next one to get trapped will be me.
