It’s a well known fact in the crypto market that altcoins typically have their bull market moment after bitcoin has finished its course. With BTC dominance breaking above 60% for the first time in 2 years, it certainly seems like the time is coming for altcoins to enjoy new highs.

It's about time for altcoins to shine!!

You may want to read this blog from kucoin about altseason https://kucoinblog.com/what-is-altseason-and-bitcoin-dominance-btctk

Not with current bitcoin value, if bitcoin is trading at a high price let's say 20k and it finds its bottom then dominance now shrink to where it is today then it's a good sign, remember that when bitcoin was trading at 19k in December 2017 some altcoins still shoot up to the sky too and when dominance decrease others start following in January 2018

In my opinion, you shouldn't fall into these delusions that Altcoins season has arrived or that anything else has to happen. just trade that thing and take advantage of the volatility. It doesn't matter if BTC dominance is 60% or 70% next. you can make profit anyways. trade instead of holding and keeping your fingers crossed that someday we will go to the moon. the moon boy mentality ain't good. It makes people blindly jump in on moves like the one when bitcoin jumped from $7,000 to $11,000 in 24h in October cause they FOMO in again and again believing that This Time we have to go to the moon. They want you to FOMO in and buy at the moment.

Either holding or taking advantage of current condition they are both good for the entire crypto market, whales are controlling, weak hands are selling, it's all a part of it so whatever decisions we make is not entirely bad, it depends on what we actually want, i take advantage of the market sometimes and i am a holder too

Nothing positive is happening in the crypto space for the bull season to arrive, even the thing getting worse since price of bitcoin again fell down under $7000 very recently.Maybe bullish trend will arrive but what is going to act as catalyst to bring that?

I think that's impossible to happen for now! because instead of achieving a new highs, it was registering a new low's each day. that's why i believe that those so called alt season is just a plain speculation even the Bitcoin was experiencing the same fate at the moment so overall the cryptomarket is on the brink of another hardship like what  happen in the late 2018. The upcoming year of 2020 is a rough and challenging year for the crypto industry.

Yes we all have the same hope but the problem is depend on what, in the articles ( blog ) I only see optimist not calculation or deep analyze. We need more than optimist because many people already release their optimist but market still red, they give up empty hope. I'm not expert but depend my analyze using MACD ( monthly ) buy back can be done in middle 2020, in this time real market direction will comes up. If you have more than optimist let us know, it will help us because red market make us stress.

I would really like to believe that now the time for altcoins will come, but also I see that in the near future bitcoin will fall again and when this happens that altcoins will not be able to stand at the same level and even more so they will not be able to raise their prices. now 90 percent of my money is in USDC and I expect when bitcoin reaches the mark of 5 thousand dollars to buy it

What we see now is fake breakout, do not be greed, price will again dump. Why I know this? Because charts never lie.
So at first we need find the bottom then we can think about an altseason.  ;)

Compared to prices before the last fall of the bitcoin, this increase is not enough. While ethereum's price was around $140 before the fall, now it is $128, but the price has increased by 2% in the last 24 hours. As if the market is cheating on us, there are always such small increases, but decrease interest is more active. Personally I cannot see a sign that the altseason is coming, altcoins can do better than that.

There have been many threads that talk about this altcoin season is coming all I know is christmast is coming and there will be lots of traders who are likely to withdraw their funds for the Christmas and new year party so the condition for altcoin will be able to go back down this month, because there will be many traders also who will likely choose to  new years holidays.

Bitcoin dominance in coin market cap still 68% and not chance for altcoin have higher price during bitcoin still with lower price, most than three years ago bitcoin keep dominance with bitcoin and have higher percent, need good information about country want accept altcoin as legal currency payment to bring back altcoin keep dominance on coin market cap and have higher price again.

altseason will happen when everybody stops believing in it, on the other hand it will not happen when we are expecting it to happen. this is the logic, you do not know what will happen because the market is being controlled. they will not let you get an opportunity to do it, I have seen people claimed altseason is near based on their fundamental, technical analysis but in the end, nothing happened. just buy bitcoin and then sell it after the altseason starts, it is better to be late rather than get burned.

The steps you take are extraordinary, and don't forget to make sure that what you are holding is really a good token or coin, because taking profits through the market is also not as easy as we imagine.

no i guess , we know exactly what happen on altcoins right now ,
people has ignoring already mostly of altcoins.
and back to bitcoin , we can see on the dominance of bitcoin,btc dominance means no space for altcoins for rising up.
its a simple defenition i know.

One thing that I know is that crypto is a freedom, no individual or organization controls it, including the price. we cannot deny that what is happening in the market is something controlling. If there is someone controlling it, it is very likely that we will see altseason soon, who knows when, I don't know.

therefore we don't need to worry about the future of altcoins, because after all the season will come soon and believe it, big changes will happen soon. the market continues to fluctuate which indicates if demand and supply will continue to happen and when it continues then it means that interested people continue to grow and we should not be afraid of a large decline and a slow increase, because fast or slow growth is it sure

I have long been telling everyone that the altcoin season is very close. Moreover, I believe that it has already come because every day we see a large number of coins that increase in price by 40-50 percent and smart people use this time and earn very good money. This altcoin season will not be the same as in 2017.

I would like to see the reason why are you talking about the upcoming altcoin season. Altcoins experience the worst time ever. For example Ethereum could be dumped with 800 000 coins from PlusToken scam.

Lol, I bet you're hoping that some of those altcoin traders will register on Kucoin—one of the exchanges known for hosting poor liquidity shitcoins that are liable to pump and dumps.

Any exchange with such a lax listing procedure should be boycotted, since a huge number of people lose their money due to investing in absolute trash coins that are newly listed on Kucoin.

And no, it's nowhere close to alt season, what part of losing 90-95% of value in the last 24 months makes you in any way, shape, or form bullish on altcoins? You would need to be seriously delusional to start investing in altcoins right now.

Since after 2018 I lost my confidence on investing and trading on altcoins coz that's the time when there are bunch of projects that has a low goal some projects even have a poor quality whitepaper that escaped the offerring stage with newbie investors. I invested on Konios Token (KON) that is listed on HitBTC but due to low trading volume it delisted and nowhere to find now. Honestly there are just only not above 10 altcoins that is worth engaging now, what is left is just a pure crap.

For me it doesn't matter if the altcoin season or not. As long as you are getting profit in the actual trade you made, that's I could say you are a good trader because you obtain to gain, because even it is bull run but your not getting any profit in it due to you don't have any hold coins during the price was cheap it is still useless I think.

The price of altcoins is also greatly affected by the price of bitcoin. The price won't get high if bitcoin is down, just like right now. So even if altcoin season, as you mentioned, will arrive, it may not have great effect on the price of alts.

Also, most alts are just shitty coins. Just a few coins will be able to take advantage of bitcoin losing dominance.

Maybe but not all altcoins because some altcoins will fall especially useless coins,  And some experts says when altcoins season arrives many will decrease futher and they will die.  So invest only on reputable altcoins and also on coins that have usecases

You could say that only a slight increase makes us have predictions that the coin will continue to increase, but instead what happens is a decrease and decrease is greater than the increase that occurred. For the altcoin season I don't think it will come anytime soon, for me personally 2020 will be a difficult year for people who are in cryptocurrency.

I think that the market has changed and there will be no such growth as it was in 2017. Only worthy projects will grow

Right now altcoins are hard to grow like 2017, so don't expect it to happen again. Bitcoin price is fluctuating and altcoin always collapses when BTC price goes up or down. Honestly, those who hold altcoins should set a lower target and sell them as soon as possible, investing in BTC and ETH is enough.

Yes because altcoins season on 2017 are just only hype by ICO campaign and now as you said only legit and trusted project will grow,  and also reputable altcoins like erhereum, litecoin,  xlm will increase price when bitcoin bull run start. 

we should buy more alts now before altseason. but i think it's only for select few tokens/coins not all will experience a great pump

I wont' be so optimistic about that.
People are hoping the same scenario of later 217 & first 2018 would happen again, but i don't think it's gonna happen with the same RI multipliers for sure.

Crypto communities should be aware that what happened back then made some coins market cap huge enough not to make them as profitable as before (XRP, Neo,...).

You guys should focus on small market cap coins with great team, those are your real hidden gems (like Hedera)

It is very unlikely that alts go to some consolidating price untill Feb 2020 as history suggests.Another significant point is the BTC dominance .BTC dominance is more than 66%  from past few months and it will remain so untill BTC halving point.I have lots of Alt coins and i am keeping them till B halving point

In my opinion, Altcoins season is very far away from today or this year. First the fate of bitcoin has to be established, there has to be a major rally in bitcoin market before altcoin season can take effect. Bitcoin rallied from 3k to 14k, Altcoins had no move in price.

bitcoin prices haven't shown a good move yet, so I think the altseason will come much longer. and now we can see the price of bitcoin which is still in a bad move. and as long as bitcoin hasn't shown a good price then the altseason will come even longer

Do you think so? I doubt it. Bitcoin dominance is 60% is fine. But check the price of BTC as compared to its all time high. I get the sense of altcoin season only when when BTC successfully crosses 10K and holds it for some weeks atleast.

indeed the upcoming altcoin season will not be the same as 2017, but it does not make me worry at all, I have bought waves at 25k satosi, and now the decline is very sharp, the price is now at 12k satosi, I'm still waiting for the waves to 50k satosi when altcoin season comes

I don’t think so.Altcoins season not arrived yet.altcoins now trying to survive.BTC dominance is not big fat,I think btc dominance rises mean altcoins dominance down.If altcoins dominance rise then we can call altcoins season is arrived.           

It's true, as long as we can make a profit from trading in cryptocurrency it's already a good thing. Although we know many people who hope that the altseason occurred in the near future or arguably occurred the following year. But we do not know what will happen later, it could just happen and it could be precisely what we hope to only be a hope and it is true that it is better to focus on how we can survive and make a profit from cryptocurrency in any condition.

I do not understand the alt season you are referring to
Because since 2017 when there was massive bulls; there has been none other

If you say; few altcoins will moon and have a bull run only then can I agree with you
Dyor and take your mind off altseason

I hope so too because I have held many altcoins from bounty campaigns since the end of 2017 (I really miss these days) and am still waiting for the right moment to sell all my altcoins and invest in bitcoin.

Alt season is still not here and we may not see one until the Bitcoin halving comes near. Once BTC goes to its peak values, alts usually follow it in a similar fashion like last year. There are some projects which I am having my eyes on and holding for the season.

Hardly doubt that the next altcoin season is about to come in the nearest future. The dominance is far too high to let altcoins increase in prices. Besides, no altcoin has prepared something big to get on the green road.

The HYPE was the first round in order to boost the overall market atmosphere but the recent market conditions don't impress the certain group of investors. Due to the several reasons that caused the economically bad environment, crypto investors preferred to invest in the safe heaven financial assets.

I'm happy to see your confidence, but here we can only see the possibilities, such as altcoin can touch above 60% of course this is good news right? But the problem is not only that. There must also be other factors that cause it all like fantasy. So save your confidence and prepare to see the surprise of what happened

How can altcoins go up like in 2017 when bitcoin's dominance is always increasing every day. I do not see any optimism for altcoin now and in the future. It seems that the 2017 bull run is the last one for altcoins, for now investors are only interested in the price of BTC and the news related to it.

With all of these news coming around you might as well considered to avoid some persuading news about altcoin season. Because literally some of these are pre-made up may be to scam out other people. I have heard of these from the other crypto enthusiast I am just want to share this to share with for you to have some cautions with your acts.

I don't think alts will ever have such opportunity like that of 2017, now it is almost as if alts are not in existence, only btc has been dominating the market the past months and would probably continue to do so, my hope on alts is getting thinner as the day goes by, many people were expecting some green movement in price in this December but from the look of things nothing will be happening this time, anyways, i can't blame investors for sticking to btc only this time, many loss money through alts and hasn't recover the loss yet.

I guess many people are waiting for the altcoin season because they believe that the altcoin will be increased again. But unfortunately, we still need to wait for a while and be patient because we don't know when it will come, and we could only predict without knowing the truth. Maybe the altcoin season will begin after bitcoin halving, so that will be a good time for the altcoin to increase, and then bitcoin price will follow behind the altcoin.

Will not come yet altcoin bull run season we have to wait for 2020 and maybe after some months we can have it and also new ATH for altcoins and bitcoin dominance is really high but this is what we need at this time and bitcoin is most used when trade altcoins.

bitcoin dominance is still above 68%, this is too high and very risky if you go into altcoin now to trade daily,
but if you want to invest do it now, the opportunity will be greater

I'm also hoping that 2020 will bring a good season for crypto market not just for altcoin only. If there is good things to happen next year aside from Bitcoin halving then we might see the altcoin season, I'm also expecting that new investors will be involve in crypto space and help the market to grow.

As soon as I read "it's a well known fact," I stop reading. Newbs like you give us all a bad name, man. Anyway, in reality the outlook seems awful, mining is a bad idea. But if you believe in some coin e.g. ethereum and feel like gambling, then buy some.

Crypto market is not favorable as before. Let's keep hodling our altcoin to see what cryptocurrency has in store for us, comes next year. The bullrun is warming up gradually

Recent BTC increases are only for itself. We have been seeing this selfishness a lot lately. Checking out the price of the altcoins in recent months is enough to see this. So do not be hopeful that halving will affect BTC and the altcoin season will be triggered. Also if you go ahead with this idea, you will not be too upset if the price does not increase.

Altcoin season might be delay due to the fact that FUDs are now being circled around especially right now that the price of bitcoin is dropping and many people are influence also. BTC is known to be bigger than all altcoins combined but it doesn't guarantee it will be like that in the future. Holding is my personal motto right now since I truly believe in my current long term investments.

Ah, more talk about this 'altcoin season' which is just gibberish. 

Bitcoin needs to lead the way in the market, and that's the *only* way altcoins are ever going to stage a comeback.  They're not going to grow on their own.  Big money needs to be poured into the crypto market as a whole, and if and when that does happen, people are going to be buying bitcoin primarily.  Altcoins will just be a passive beneficiary of the generosity of those whales and all the smaller investors when they start snapping up all the good deals.

I'd like to believe thats the case but with the current happening in the market I think it will take time before altcoins take over the dominance in the market. Bitcoin is still the indicator for alts if it will going to rise or fall, it has a connection. After halving we dont know what will going to happen though majority of crypto enthusiasts are saying positve about it.

Don't you think the vast amount of alt coin, most which will never have a future makes things different than years past?

in my opinion we are still far from a bullish trend because the price of bitcoin is still likely to decline. maybe we have to wait another year to enter the bull market. because bitcoin will be reduced by half in May next year and bitcoin will usually pump after being reduced by half. and altcoin always follows the bitcoin price movements. if bitcoin is still stagnant at $ 7000 why do you say the altcoin season is coming? I think we have to be patient waiting again. when bitcoin is pumping then it is time for altcoin.

Wow good article and news for those who have been holding altcoins and waiting for altcoin season to come. But I do not believe that all altcoins will increase even if altcoin season sets in. Only good and potential altcoins will increase in price. And it is known fact that good and potential increase in price regardless of altcoin season comes or not. 

people are still waiting for him until now, so it's only natural that people wonder when the alt season is coming. but, in fact, they have also realized that bitcoin development is needed for that. however, 2020 is the long-awaited thing. I suspect that the altcoin season or bitcoin season will appear in 2020 to come.

Maybe what people wait to be altcoin season is when bitcoin get pumped too. Actually that is what i catch when people talk about altcoin season. For me i usually prepare for it too like hold Ethereum and other altcoin that i think will be profitable.

I also hope so. save doge for more than 1 week and there has been no increase, it actually has decreased. but I didn't panic, and indeed I waited for the season to sell my assets.

please, continue investing in this rubbish and manipulated market. I want to see you all lose your pants.

I'm going to tell you a "secret".

Most bears are bying coins OTC (over the counter). They buy them with cash and cheaper than at exchanges. they dump the coins onto the market, and gain the difference between the price payed and the price at exchange. The price goes down, not only because exchanges get that coins that they are not selling (coins are being bought directly to miners) but also seeing coming millions of coins from nowhere, making the problem even worse.

I KNOW for a fact that banks are acting like this to destroy the market, and they are having GREAT SUCCESS. Every support is becoming a huge resistance. You are going to suffer years and years of lower lows and lower hights , but hey.....CONTINUE PLAYING!"!!!

Most of you guys have lost money here. Only very very very skilled traders with good sharks and whales info have won money. The rest is in heavy losses. But you guys continue to believe in this. You are so blind!!!!!!

You have goals and I think that is a good thing, if goals are structured and with patience then I think you can achieve success while investing. stay on your way to investing, some input might only add to the level of accuracy because I think you already have experience in investing

Everyone has set up his mind that December is the Altcoin season, and this image is developed during Dec 2017 when Bitcoin made the highest price record, Altcoins are unpredictable everything is possible.

It's time for altcoin to shine. altcoins are enjoying new highs ahead of the bulls. great.  ;)

Thanks for the shared link, I'll read it. yes for now Alts Reason has almost come to Altcoin. It is a well known fact in the cryptocurrency market. The dominant BTC breaks more than 60% for the first time in 2 years, the altcoins will enjoy much higher levels.

If we look at the market today, not all altcoins shine, only a few have experienced price changes for the better,
hopefully in the future there will be more shining altcoins.

I dont see it coming, there is no sign that altcoin season will come any time now.
Bull market might happen  but we know that most of altcoin will not follow if bull market is really started. I only see top 100 to follow not all altcoin.

Altseason will start?
I hope you do not be too greedy with high volatility, need to pay attention again to your financial management or investment issues. and the more obvious one will apply only to Bitcoin, why don't you choose bitcoin as a whole if you already see the profit generated. that also needs to pay attention to analysis and select altcoin that has potential, because I'm sure not all altcoin will peak later.

Is it time for an altcoin session? I have not seen those signs. there are only a few altcoins that have pumped more than 50%, but then they fall again. I think it is not affected by bitcoin dominance. altcoin is still low and there is no altcoin session yet. I feel it's still far away. because bitcoin also doesn't have a bullish sign yet.

Alt season might seem like a mirage and might not be that clear, whether it has approached or not. What anyone might be seeing as altcoin season might be very deceptive. It would rather advise that you should keep tract of whichever one you want to invest in, because too much of slumber as against the market, might be very disastrous.

Basically I can't see such season as you have envisaged in your post but bulltrap from the group of pump and dump. FOMO from these groups and get into the fomo always end in disasters, so, let be careful of what we buy as altcoins. Altcoins fate will be decided after bitcoin halve in 2020.

It is true that we should take advantage of volatility instead of waiting for bullrun but trading is not for everybody. Most of the people lose in trading thats why people like to hold coins for a long time to get good return on their investments. If crypto market is going to survive then bull season for BTC and altcoins will come for sure but it is hard to tell when would it happen. Lets wait, there will be change of wave soon.

Bitcoin dominance will remain high until the turn of the year, holders still have not seen a positive interest in altcoin.

if not mistaken, the previous altseason began when fork coins appeared, and because the price of bch was very high at the time and overtook eth in cmc, from the impact it finally triggered investors to dare to see the potential for other altcoin movements. I'm not sure the story will be the same, but there must be more or less fantastic things like that.

They are taking the old chart and that's not a big surprise to see that and this almost happening everytime. The fact that those people never try to learn what was happening in the past.
Just try to put expectation based on the fundamental of the altcoin and that's better than take the old chart.

Yes everyone would expect that to happen and they certainly hope that 2020 will arrive at the altcoin season. But for me personally in 2020, maybe the altcoin season will not arrive yet, because in my opinion the altcoin season might take a while to happen and also if we see bitcoin not showing a significant increase, just a few days ago bitcoin experienced a decline.

Of course on a day the altcoins will have a bullish market as it has ever happened before. Trading and holding current in my opinion is not problem, because the current altcoin price is indeed under the bottom. If at any time Bullish then profit will be earned. In any case, shall a trader be prepared to deal with any trend occurring in the crypto.

in my opinion the altcoin season is still far away because if we look at CMC most altcoins only increase 1% - 5% and then when bitcoin goes down then altcoin also goes down. and I see there are still no signs of a bullish market for bitcoin even though the current dominance of bitcoin reaches 68%. I think in 2021 the bitcoin and altcoin markets will experience bullish. because bitcoin will be reduced by half in May 2020. and maybe a year after decreasing bitcoin will pump high and make the altcoin season arrive.

We hope so, but many people are talking about the dip of bitcoins itself is not bottomed yet and also the price of altcoins is still unpredictable, some of them probably has more than 10% growth in a day but some of them also do the reverse. So i think it's not the season yet, just several altcoins having a good growth

Ever since April, the Bitcoin dominance has increased from somewhere around 45% to the current levels of 68%. And that means that the market share for the altcoins have dropped by more than half. It looked as if the altcoin market share had stabilized at somewhere around the 25%-30% level, but the situation seems to be worsening in the recent weeks. 

If what you actually mean by alt season is a time that we will experience a boom in altcoins prices, I will just tell you that it's not at all going to happen anymore. Most of the alts projects at the moment are either scams or not properly put in place to stand the trial of time.

I absolutely do not see any prerequisites for the rise of altcoins, why would it? You need to really look at this state of affairs in the crypto industry.

hopefully, but don't be too sure because predictions can be wrong, it's better to go with the flow and look at the situation, maybe hearing news like this gives people a little motivation, but the market is what determines that condition.

Don't get your hopes up with everything that will happen, don't think that all dreams are beautiful to do. keep on fighting and dreaming on becoming reality.

Bitcoin dominance and Ethereum dominance were almost equal. Then put the weight of bitcoin. This could be a break. Piaysa could set a new pricing point outside the bitcoin price. But bitcoin did not allow it. Piaysa must be freed from bitcoin domination.

there is no prerequisites exist. the situation is very clear. when you find bitcoin in the flat position, you can earn very good money on the growth of altcoins, but when it falls or grows, we can all forget about profit. the situation is the same as it was during the 1.5 years. I don’t understand when the new green market will begin. everyone is tired of waiting for this

sometimes when bitcoin is flat, we can benefit from daily trading with altcoin but if the price of bitcoin go to dump or pump sometimes people will focus on bitcoin. and so far the altseason hasn't been seen yet because the signs of pumping have not yet appeared on bitcoin, we have to wait even though it's boring.

Thank you for the article. I already wrote once that altcoins are vital for the life of BTC and that they are needed for the development of the crypto market and the increase in the price of BTC. At the moment, we can see that the BTC dominance has grown again, which means that for the time being the altcoin season has been postponed. I believe that we will not see any special movements at the end of 2019, but 2020 should be full of events in the crypto sphere.

bitcoin dominance is the cause of altseason not come yet, I know that, if it is still high we will still wait a long time,
hopefully the beginning of the year altseason really comes

When the dominance of bitcoin decreases to 45%, the altcoin season has started. This is a very important point. Bitcoin domination needs to be broken. The excitement in the market is disappearing. Even if the bitcoin price goes up, altcoin prices are falling!

I have given up on this kind of stuff now about ALT SEASONS and BTC SEASONS..Now I prefer to just ride the waves and swing trade and am accumulating just a few potential low cap coins that I feel could explode once they go through various stages of their development and on the way also quietly grow a BTC stash on the side with a hedge in gold-backed stable coins. I plan to grow a stash of coin I can lend out as well and earn passively from with less risk over time, once I make some good money from trading and multipliers of the coins I got. I don't listen to much about what the Press says, as usual, they tend to be controlled by the big pockets and whales that when they want you to FOMO in, they do their unloading and when they want you to dump as they FUD, they are scooping up on the lows and bottoms. What you and I need to do is set goals, get the education and system in place to achieve our goals, don't look left or right, at FUD OR FOMO, and by doing our own thing, we can secure our future.

Usually the price of altcoin follows the price of bitcoin. If the price of bitcoin goes up, altcoin will go up and vice versa. But after reading the blog you gave, my view has changed a little about altcoin. Maybe some altcoin will outperform bitcoin in the next few years.

Too early to say that, everything is shine but in red color. What you read is just analyze the chance is 50 - 50 and this time could be 100% for loss. coin habit can't be use to see the moment and direction, you should calculate use MACD and MA for enter and exit point. History chart also need to see volatility in sideways. Many factor can break your optimist, so let's wait until February and start again new journey. 

That is not a fact that is just an observation that may prove to be completely useless in the future, the bitcoin dominance is almost at 69% and it is still growing, I do not see how altcoins could begin to reduce that dominance when it is obvious that the interest of most investors is only in bitcoin, I know that you want to believe otherwise but that is the reality of the market and it is not going to change just because you want to see an altcoin season.

At this point I really believe there is not going to be an altcoin season until we see a bull run coming from bitcoin and since I do not believe that will happen during the next year then the next year is going to be bad for altcoins as well.

I think something different it could be wrong. In some research many people have knowledge on Bitcoin in USA. New people can't invest their money directly in altcoins. Before change their mind first choice is Bitcoin. If Bitcoin bullrun again starting altcoins season has probability come. Huge pump could be during Bitcoin halving time.

There is no real use case of the technical analysis on crypto trading platforms, the fundamental research is enough for determining the entry and exit price levels. So many altcoins fail one by one like a butterfly effect and strong altcoins struggle to survive in a downtrend.

I've personally been waiting for altcoin to shine, but it does not seem to be coming. The value of Bitcoin hasn't been encouraging lately and its a known fact that the value of Bitcoin contributes to that of altcoin. I only hope that Bitcoin experiences a boost in its value.

You will have your time to see the altcoin will be increased again soon, but you still need to be patient and stay calm because that time will not happen in a short time. We still need to wait for the next year because we have a big chance to see the increase of the altcoin and bitcoin in the next year. Not just bitcoin that can increase, the altcoin will increase too, and that means, you can sell your altcoin at the highest price. We will have another good experience in crypto when the bull run is coming.

It's true we hope to see the Altcoin season come fast  but presently it's still bitcoin dominance so don't just accept everything you read. If you want to invest in altcoin it's a good one but be ready to wait for some more time. And please do some research before investing but know that bitcoin is still dominating.

I still find it at to belief everything i read online about upcoming or prediction effects, they are not helping at all, its better not to set your mind on such things, they can ruin your crypto motivations, right now i care more about finding new good altcoins

Everyone certainly expects the value of bitcoin to increase as soon as possible, because if the value of bitcoin has changed for the better, of course there will also be an influence on the value of other altcoins, although not all altcoins will be affected by it.

Well, there are two types of altcoins. First are those who have bigger caps but actually don't have any real-life usage purpose and the other group of altcoins, which is based on advanced tech, extraordinary privacy features and a lot of other good things which many people don't even know about them yet. I'm expecting an altseson on those low cap coins which are young and have the potential to turn the tables and make history.

Your own research will helps you to understand more about the Alts that you are investing there's no need to rush but choosing to learned more and be established with your trust allows you to overcome any fears once the market swings down and you experienced a heavy downfall. Good judgement comes from better knowledge, believe with your own decision.

Every prediction has no concrete basis so we cant expect it to happen. Sometimes it would be best to have our own analysis and forget the current happening on crypto to prevent ourselves hoping for alts bull run that seems wont happen anytime soon. The current status of the market is not as bad as before though alts are not showing indication growth compared to btc.

It doesn't matter whether bitcoin has less dominance in the market a true investors always find a good asset to invest in as long as it is viable and profitable, you should take advantage in the dips and buy more whether its bitcoin and altcoins. That's the beauty of having multiple coin in the market to have an competition and for the crpyto market continues growth.

I am waiting when altcoin dominance in coinmarket and get position for bitcoin keep dominance more than 65%, last two year bitcoin keep dominance until today and never give space for altcoin become dominance, we need community and ask to other focus for trading with altcoin to bring back how success of bitcoin with higher price and take for bitcoin place dominance in coin market cap.

I think altseason will still happen but no one can predict when altseason starts. Seeing the dominance of Bitcoin which is still strong and also the moment of Bitcoin Halving that is getting closer, in my opinion altseason still needs time but I think if altseason occurs, not all altcoin will experience price increases

Patience is the name of the game,,, and that is only for altcoins that actually have good value. Please learn the lesson that the majority of alt projects have no value because they have no product and no solution. No community no usage. How can you expect their value to grow or for the coins to shine?

The hard truth to swallow dominance affects a lot and it's a sign that more people are interested toward bitcoin and less toward alts. Yes, there might be some coin out there that are undervalued and deserve the investment. However, if the bitcoin dominance keep increasing that means the altcoin being crushed even further though some alts may just follow the flow like what it used to be back in the past.

It doesn't look like altcoin season is around the corner yet and bitcoin value is not encouraging, altcoins solely relies on bitcoin movement, if bitcoin is not surging big i won't get my hopes up

"Altseason is almost here" is exactly what we have been hearing for a long time now, since early 2018 to be precise and in a couple of months, it would be 2yrs since we have been hearing itz forgive me if I am skeptical but these days I don't believe these things till I have actually seen it, once bitten, twice shy.

You are not alone in being skeptical towards altcoins, there are many more like you. Altcoins have greatly disappointed all of us lets be very honest and clear. They only rise and shine when bitcoin goes up and have no independent identity. So its better to invest in bitcoin, if altcoins can't move on there own.

Well in crypto there is no certainty, all there is sometimes is speculations, altcoin season could be near but I really can't say at this point and the way the market is I would rather hold BTC or I hold USD. Well we await 2020

The market has been patiently awaiting alt-season for a while now and it looks like Bitcoin has taken the leading position in terms of hype thus far so it'll likely be sometime next year when the top ranked alternatives experience some positive price movements due to a maturing market and more institutional interest

How many times self proclaimed experts say that altcoins time has arrived. As you can see moat of the alts right have been declining along with bitcoin's value, and I think even if Bitcoin gains some momentum I don't think alts will follow. They might get some raises but I don't think that I would be the same as 2017 where most of the alts peaked.

Speaking of Bitcoin Dominance. What I observed lately is there's no something big price action made on Bitcoin even the Bitcoin dominance continues to rise up. If you take a look, especially when last April, the Bitcoin Dominance broke out, that's the time when we broke around $5,000. So what I can see now is we are again starting to make another move upward (positive for me), unless if we don't break below $5,000.
This Bitcoin Dominance is quite strong now, and I can say, it's difficult for altseason now.

https://i.imgflip.com/3kg7xb.jpg (https://imgflip.com/i/3kg7xb)

for now the market dominance is more to bitcoin, maybe when the price of bitcoin has reached its highest price then altcoin can start to grow and that can make altseason. so now we will wait for bitcoin first, because most of the movements in bitcoin prices have an impact on altcoin

Altcoins have been suffering for a very long time and now they can fall by a maximum of another 50 percent, but this does not scare me anymore. I think that now you can safely buy altcoins. it is obvious that the dominance of Bitcoin will change itself sooner or later, and it will turn out to earn great money from current prices

its true that atlcoins is at season most especially those real project, but we cant change the facts that some altcoins died one by one, but it doesnt mean that it will happen to all altcoin. All you need to do is to review the project carefully before you invest.

To be free of this I think is not easy because a lot of things have to go through to get to that stage. So you should make something that is very convincing or not undergo any changes.

What season you referring to exactly? Bear season or bull season? Altcoins are still in bear season and few weak altcoins have died or got delisted on exchanges, if you need my advice i'd say you should invest in altcoins that are useful and have better volumes on exchanges

Not have chance for altcoin season because until today bitcoin still with lower price, when bitcoin keep with lower price just dreaming we can see altcoin have higher price. Need to make bitcoin pump before altcoin season coming because without bitcoin have the top position impossible we can see altcoin have higher price.

What sort of altcoin season you are talking about? From what I can see, the Bitcoin dominance has remained constant at around 69%, and with the negative news coming from Ethereum (regarding ETH 2.0), it should further go up. I am not witnessing anything encouraging regarding the altcoins. Their adoption has gone down, irrespective of the domain and in most cases the development has slowed down as well.

Altcoin season is a delusion. You can't have all or most altcoins suddenly doing well during a certain time and call that time altcoin season. That is not investing. That is not what is important. You need to invest in actual projects and not hype. "altcoin season" is just hype. Like the altcoin hype in 2017 which I still cannot explain or understand. Now things seem quieter I still cannot explain that because it is not like people have learnt anything and are not getting scammed. They still are.

Personally I don't think it's yet time for altcoin season , nothing has indicated a positivity yet towards it. Bull run will even be different because most likely people will focus more on bitcoin. So it's better to be careful with choices and choose well.

There is no doubt in this fact that altcoins are depending on bitcoin for the pumps and dumps of their price courses. Altcoins are going to jump in prices after halving occurs in mid of the 2020. I am just hoping for halving to occur as soon as so that bitcoin rises in prices and we all enjoy our great rewards. I am in mood to cash great rewards. We are supposed to simply hold onto great altcoins till halving.

What do you guys really mean by altcoin season? I have been hearing everyone keep on saying "altcoin season is almost here", but why don't I even see it? You guys should stop waiting for this "altcoin season". It is never going to come or it doesn't even exist. If you guys mean the sudden sky rocketing of the altcoin price, then lol, you will be waiting none stop forever. It is likely to come anytime soon.

I totally agree with that, I also hope that not only the old altcoin will shine but the new altcoin will also shine. I am very concerned to see the new altcoin is not able to survive in these difficult conditions, most of them die because they do not have the volume and investors.

I think we need to stop waiting for altcoin season. We need to look at the situation more realistically. The long-awaited running of the bulls already looks like some kind of fairy tale. Don't hope for that.

It could be a fairy tale but it's not impossible it will happen again.

How many times this market struggle like this? many times, right? so being patient could really help us and we just need to wait patiently.
The thing is, it's impossible that altcoins season will not arrive once btc reach a new ATH again, we know the hype and the FOMO, it will happen.

I don’t really know that for sure, but I have read a lot of other predictions that says we are going into Bitcoin season and I strongly believe that there’s going to be an increase due to the halving that’s coming next.

Regardless, you can still make money with the volatility in the market, only if you’re a trader and you’re really good at it. Even those that are not good at trading can still make use of platforms that offers copy trading and I think eToro is the trade platform that offers that feature. It allows traders to copy other traders who are experts and you automatically execute trades when they do.

At this point, there is nothing i want more than to see alts starting to gain some momentum, for quite some time now it has become all about btc, this outright dominance of btc has made the market less fun and a bit boring for the non-traders, like you said, only the experience traders can still make money from this volatile market, but the rest of crypto enthusiast are not experience traders,
hence, it will be very ideal to see the alts season again, this will help many project who are currently struggling to secure the needed funds to kick start their project. 

True, I'm still not sure if the altcoin season will arrive again, because waiting for the altcoin season is a waste of time, because what has happened in previous years will not happen again in the years to come.

im too optimistic too just like others but i guess its time for me to wake up and believe on you  . for once we need to start living back in the reality and stop the dreams for a while  .

its better if we can  get up by working on our own in a slow steady manner and not depending on others ( on the bull or on the crypto season ) because they are not guarantee   . if we wait we will only get tired and we cant be productive properly  .

Forget about articles on altcoin season getting close, we've been seeing them severally yet nothing happens. For now I'm focusing more on Bitcoin since halving should give good tidings for holders, although not certain. Well, many postulate that after the Bitcoin halving, people will start selling off their Bitcoin to make profit and hence more money goes to altcoins hence causing price spike for alts, but all these are mere postulations. Let's allow the market to decide.

Exactly, mostly waiting for altcoins season to arrive long. Instead of waiting for it why not invest some btc when price still low. There is no guarantee for that altseason to arrive but since crypto is volatile still there is a possibility for it to increase in the market.

In my opinion depending on the movement of bitcoin, if bitcoin from now until the halving event occurs the price continues to rise, meaning
alt season is likely to come soon. But if bitcoin prices like now are relatively stable at prices of $ 7000- $ 7500, and there are no signs of going
up so alt season is not possible happen. Because the price movements of altcoins depend on the price of bitcoin. So if the price of bitcoin goes up,
altcoins also go up. Hopefully bitcoin will go up in price as many people predict, so alt season can come soon.

when all are focused on bitcoin, altcoin still has to wait its turn, and even then I think altcoin has a large community that can feel it. so I think if altseason is really present, I think only some will experience a surge unlike 2017, which almost everyone feels

agree and that is indeed true. but I think although bitcoin can go up to 10k usd, altcoin season is also not necessarily immediately happen. altcoin usually goes up after bitcoin reaches ATH, traders and investors will immediately invade the altcoin market and make large buying positions. I hope it will happen soon.

So many parties created their ownc rypto and they are choosing that decision rather than buy native crypto. the altcoin season will not happen until there will be a big pump from the whale but when it will happen. none know about that even when you are focused to the bitcoin doesn't mean altcoin will get the bulltrend for sure.

Yes, you are right, even Bitcoin fluctuation seems to be very high and of course, it is very good to grab the Bitcoin at the current level. It will take many days to recover the prices of altcoin because altcoin market seems to be in a downturn. It is best to grab when the altcoin prices are going down.

Why are we talking about big price action and Bitcoin dominance? Every time we have witness Bitcoin dominance climb, it is actually Bitcoin having weaker price action compared to when it moons,,, because when it moons, altcoins tend to moon even bigger!

Think about this whole year dominance going up as Bitcoin price goes up slowly compared to when Bitcoin went boom in 2017. Or do I remember this differently?

We must not cheer up for the Altcoins to shine and rise its price but we must also do the same thing for Bitcoin as well due to the fact that those two cryptocurrency are really beneficial for us once they both rise up together as one because I do believe that we people in this forum do not just momentarily invest and purchase Bitcoin but we do also get into Altcoins as well. But believing into the thought or idea that Altcoin season will soon to rise was awesome and really an optimistic kind of thinking to have right now just to loosen up the stress of the market which is still currently down. But let us see what can certainly happen in the near future if Bitcoin's dominance will take a long term or the rise of altcoin season will come. In my opinion, no one can certainly say but let us just hope for the best to come.

But if you believe there is a chance that altcoins will go down in value another 50% then why you think you can buy altcoins safely? This is not the moment to buy altcoins, leave them alone and let us see if their incompetent developers finally get that the days of getting easy money out of investors are over and they need to work really hard to gain their trust again.

The market conditions are not suitable for an altcoin season, despite the price of bitcoin going down for months most people are still not interested in buying altcoins and with good reason since the halving is getting closer and many believe the price of bitcoin will skyrocket at that moment.

Bitcoin is already dominating but several times the altcoin season does not occur and continues to plummet, I think the current situation is completely different from the previous few years and it is indeed difficult to analyze, but I will also still hope that alt season will happen soon.

I doubt the ALtcoin market can move in isolation of Bitcoin. The way things are now the whole space is waiting for the Bitcoin halving and from a source I was told that some of these developers have started dumping their tokens for Bitcoin, they want to take full opportunity of the coming halving, when BTC pump, Altcoins would then follow

Only few altcoin will celebrate thier season and for some shitty projects that doesnt contribute in crypto they should be eliminated. Bitcoin must go down a liitle bit more to take out those projects with no working product.

Even though, altcoin season will not arrived we can still take advantage of the crypto market since some of them are good for day and long term trading just like Vechain. I didn't expect that it will jump from 30sat to 90sat+ which is great and gain a lot of profit of it.

And i can only suggest to trade only those altcoin that has potential and more investors from an exchange.

I don't think that you can safely say that it is alt season until BTC has had its bull run and has stabilise at the top of its peak.

Historically we've seen that when BTC climbs in value significantly, alts usually decline in value in BTC terms. However when markets are calmer and move sideways in terms of BTC, then alts will have an opportunity to enjoy inflows of capital from BTC markets as traders are interested in making short term profits in more volatile markets.

That's just the nature of the markets and I don't think that currently we're in for any substantial alt pumps yet.

In fact, we don't need to wait for Bitcoin to crash to see altcoin scams die. Current investors have become a lot wiser and smarter, so weak altcoin and scam projects will definitely be removed from this market very soon. In 2020 I believe that at least 40% of currently active altcoins will continue to die. This market needs to be cleaned before starting a new bull run, all ATH of altcoin in 2017 is just a celebration.

It has been true in the past that once BTC price rises stop and level out, alts take over and an 'alt season' occurs, but this doesn't mean it happens every time.

Market sentiment is a key factor. BTC may have risen a bit recently, but this has been a recovery from previous drops. What we need to trigger alt season is a sustained BTC price rise so that market confidence returns. You are not going to get an alt bull whilst confidence is this low. People will either move out of crypto altogether or else remain in the (relatively) safe haven of BTC.

if only a few, then it cant be called altseason. season means most coin, not a few
beside that, few coins cant make the altcoin dominance increase compared with Bitcoin

IMO altseason wont happen in the near future, but it still would happen. just matter of time
Bitcoin must reach new ATH to get another altseason.

This idea would be non specific for whatever date it is for altcoins season to come. For ATH, I do hope this 2020 will have a good outlook for cryptocurrency. We're not only referring to bitcoin all alone but the entire world of cryptocurrency. Let's regain cryptocurrency's reputation and prove to the world that it's not dead yet, but potentially booming soon.

The market conditions are in fact unique but they are not difficult to analyze, investors are no longer interested to invest in something with a 90% failure rate, investors are in this market to make money not to give it away to scammers, what we saw in 2017 is never going to repeat itself again as people will no longer trust new projects like they did in the past.

But this does not mean that we are not going to see an altcoin season, what this means is that when an altcoin season comes people are going to concentrate in the top altcoins and the few new projects that actually show some potential.

There are still people who do believe that we would able to see that 2017 bull run on alts.As said this wont really be possible nowadays and you are right that investors arent already interested on throwing off some bucks
into projects that doesnt really give out significant usage.We do able to see on what coins to withstood the test of time and yet we've been on a bearish on previous years but alts do still tank
or holding on.Alt season? there might be one but no one ever knows on when it would happen.For now if you can risk up to accumulate potential ones then its your choice.

Many coins have hypothetically reached bottoms but will people be interested in literally all market when rally comes? or is it gonna be just some big coins and the rest will remain pump/dump small cap niche. Think this is the most important thing to realize, cos some coins experienced pretty steady growth throughout 2019 and their season kinda started long ago.

Crypto does not run a 365 day calendar, with predictable events. It's a good time to buy, but because of the day of the year.

The crypto events can happen a few times in a year and you re right about that but isn't it if we must feel optimistic about crypto anytime? the big trend will not always happen as last year we have seen crypto has been getting big pump at the middle of the year and it goes down again.

Many people wait for alt season because they own many alts, its natural to have faith in your assets, to be optimistic with your holdings. I think every person on this forum have a bag with alts, from the ones that are under a cent to the ones at the top. I am positive about future of crypto, and I strongly believe that alt season will come eventually, of course we can't know when will it happen and which alts will go up, so it's on us to try to predict that and fill our bags with the right coins.

Obviously, Altseason is not coming soon, because now the Bitcoin dominance is very high, which is why alts are at the bottom of the market.

I did not seen any big move in the alt coin market last year, the bitcoin market rallied a lot last year from the bottom and almost looked like we might cross the all time valuation before the halving but then it slowed down but the rally was really promising for bitcoin investors but i did not see the same kind of movement in any other coin, yes ETH has risen from below $45 but then the movement was focused on bitcoin and the top coins move alongside in a quite manner and that will continue when we have a rally in bitcoin again.

I don't see altcoins rising without increase in the market volume

im pretty sure that its the case
there are many alts that look very goood on the charts right now
the volatility is very low the momentum is right , looks very promising for the coming few months

Youre wrong cause the increase in the market volume wont be the reason for altcoin season to arrive because some slightly surge will occur for days in the bitcoin market which later give investors more confidence about the market  follow by rally will make the increase in the market volume you said to happen.

The bitcoin dominance has nothing to do with the altcoin season for altcoin. Remember even that can give a huge impact to the price of altcoin doesn't mean the bitcoin will be a coin that can determine anything and dictate the market trend. You must understand this dude.

Indeed and i think that this was some mistakes most of people think specially to the new ones, they are depending their prediction with bitcoin's price movement alone which can cause to missing good opportunities but as far as i can see i don't expect to experience altseason anytime soon but aside from the halving this year some companies also consider crypto in their projects like samsung which can positively affect altcoins.

It actually a vice-versa circumstance but the bitcoin dominance level does dictate an impact of what momentum the altcoin market will drift to, although most of this strategy is played and carried out by the arbitrage traders.

It's not about Bitcoin's domination, but about investors regaining confidence in the entire cryptocurrency market. When the situation calms down and positive news comes from the world, the bull run will come for the Bitcoin price and the altseason will start.

On the contrary, Bitcoin's dominance on the market prevents alts from starting to grow strongly, if Bitcoin's dominance had fallen, it would have probably started alt season.

That's incorrect buddy because bitcoin has been dominant the crypto market right from the get-go and it dominance level was not what prevents altcoin from surging cause if its dominance prevents altcoin from growing it halving won't have to make altcoin market surge.
Meanwhile, the decision of arbitrage is what determine the altcoin trend and this is the reason why some people said altcoin market are highly manipulated.

trading, not all coins can be done. especially for daily trading. assets with high trading are the most appropriate for us to do daily trading. so it's better to save assets for the long term and do daily trading with other assets. because the character of the movement of each asset is different in the market.

You are right, we should always focus on the altcoin which has higher volume in the market, for day trading it is always good to check their buy order and sell orders in order to make a profit. The profit we are getting through trading will help us to hold higher volume potential which we have to aim them for the long term goals.

Don't expect more if people almost lose trust in altcoin.
If only fraud can be overcome then I'm sure in the long run there will be new investors coming in this market, but this seems difficult and bitcoin continues to dominate the market.

not because of the altcoin scam factor that causes altseason to be hampered, but how bitcoin can raise prices specifically to the upper limit until it is saturated and then investors move dominantly towards altcoin. No matter how bad altcoin is overall in the eyes of investors, there are still at least the top 100 altcoins trusted by the crypto community until now.

Of course the altcoins season will come. When the price of Bitcoin begins to rise, investors will start looking for a "new Bitcoin" and hope that some Altcoin will also earn them thousands of percent. Investors in the cryptocurrency market have always been looking for the successor of Bitcoin and now it will be the same.

The new investors will always come but about the fraud and that will be a very difficult thing to happen as so many precaution have already taken. Remember about so many exchange sites and big names in crypto have been doing campaign to protect the new comers from investors but there is still a lot of fraud in the market. it can be prevented through self education.

All the coins in market do not move in exactly the same way so it is natural that some coins may seem to have started their own altcoin season, however an altcoin season is obviously a time in the market in which most of the growth in the market is concentrated in alts and with a bitcoin dominance above 67% no altcoin season has started.

However even if you are not going to be to tell which of the new coins is going to be pumped one of the easiest coins to predict is ethereum, ethereum will go up in price and even if the next altcoin season is a small one you could double or even triple your money and those are incredible profits.

And that is not the only problem for altcoins, the bitcoin dominance grew at one of the worst possible times for altcoins, the bitcoin halving is coming and since that is such a huge event that only happens every four years people are going to put a lot of attention to bitcoin and are not going to put any attention to altcoins, so most likely all of this year is going to be about what bitcoin is doing and if we see a recovery at the end of this year most likely the next year is going to be about bitcoin as well.

This means that altcoins are going to have at least one year and possibly two years of bad performance and many investors are simply going to capitulate because they are not ready to endure that difficult market.

The dominance of Bitcoin has reached high levels after the last halving and the prices will stay at the stable levels after the next halving. The alt season will not happen until the low dominance rate and the breaking correlation. The ATH prices are possible for the entire crypto markets if the traditional markets collapse in the crisis.

i really believe that the coming months are going to be very bullish for altcoins - and for whole crypto space
many positive indicators on many alts
just learn the charts of DASH,SC,ADA,QTUM, XLM and others..

yes we dont know 100% exactly when altcoin season will come. But I myself dont have reason why altseason cant come back in the future
altseason will come back in future, it is just matter of time. the time will tell us
so, what I always do right now, checking Bitcoin and Altcoin progress every time in order to not late next altseason
beside that, sorting the good coin among all crypto, that's important to do. so in the next altseason, I won't be confuse to choose good altcoin

Everyone is hoping and waiting for this. I hope this spring will be good for alts and we can see another one big bullrun before or after BTC halving.

Looking at the market and the volume in the alts, the BTC dominance is at a steady level of 68.1% which is too high if you are expecting for an alt season. We are still waiting for the BTC to get above the $8250 resistance and if it breaks that with good volume then we may see an alt season.

I think not too many people are waiting like you said, only some people are always patient with the holding criteria until the end, they are continuing to hope for an altcoin season right now while others withdrew in a timely manner, and especially recently, the sideways movement of bitcoin has helped a lot of altcoins increase significantly, this is an altcoin season for them. And after the end of a good harvest, the fate cycle began to set again, bitcoin went up and altcoin went down, prepare for a seeding season in altcoin

What I'm saying is that one has to be more open minded and think more outside the box. Not think, "Bitcoin pumped 15k in August 2017, that means it's going to pump again in August 2018." Time is better spend thinking of all current factors. Just going by a past time is lazy.

Obviously Altseason will not come to Altcoins soon, because alts are at the bottom now and they will be recovering for at least a year, maybe even more.

The recent increase in the price of bitcoin has taken many by surprise, the bitcoin dominance has gone down for almost 1% in a single day and that is very significant, we are seeing some altcoins making some impressive progress especially bitcoin SV, even if I do not really like that coin.

What we do not know is if this kind of growth can be maintained and this is in fact the beginning of a bull run that will not only affect bitcoin but it is also going to affect altcoins, I'm still sceptical but I have no problem admitting my mistake if this is in fact the beginning of something very positive for the market of altcoins.

Looks like a big indication that altcoins will be rising. BSV though seem to be not that one that people might look into since this is created by a CW and known to be fake. People don't trust this but if they gain close to  100% in a day, those who will participate in trading won't mind at all buying and making money out of it.

it looks like the alt season has started since last week. we can see that since yesterday the market, especially all altcoins, has increased an average of over 5% per day. maybe because of the issue of hardfork etc or the issue of BSV that suddenly went crazy on the pump, I don't know for sure. which is clear because of that, all altcoins also get positive effects and to this day it still looks good.

That's one of the main reason why we should improve our investments with altcoins. We cannot set it aside just because bitcoin halving is going to take place and its value will surely rise, there are still lots of potential altcoins in the market that needs recognition. We should start looking for new altcoins that has the potential of being successful in the future. Altseason will surely bring altcoins to new highs so you better set your altcoin investments ready for it.

the market is indeed showing good moves now. some altcoins are seen moving with favorable graphs. but the movement is still too fast. we will see the market is really strong first before the altcoin season with pumps starts.

In 2020 Bitcoin will experience Halving, where the block prize will be reduced by half. If there is a big surge again, is it possible we will again see the season of the emergence of new altcoins? Or maybe we will see an increase in the current performance of altcoin?. So the altcoin season can be impossible, but it can happen

There is good change in the growth of altcoins. This can't be stated as the altseason. There is more to go forward, the recent price pumping is the sideways impact of the growth that's been followed from the bitcoin's growth. The market is favourable and highly profiting for users who made large scale investment on low price altcoins last year.

I am trying to compare todays market status with 2017. And the situation is really very different. It was not that much bearish before 2017. So it is hard to predict anything about altcoins in my opinion. But ofcourse who knows? This is crypto.

but in reality, that session hasn't happened to this day. before Altseason happened, it looks like bitcoin will first go to the moon and leave them (altcoin). many altcoins are currently feeling pain, and are trying to stay in order to remain in the cryptocurrency market zone. however, in the end there will only be a few altcoins that can survive to continue the "AltSeason".

With the recent recovery of Bitcoin, only a few potential coins increased their prices. I hope altseason has not arrived yet, which seems some fresh funds entered the market and this makes most of the potential altcoins increased their prices slightly. Yes, you are right only a few altcoins can survive in altseason.

There are too many factors in play, I am not sure but it seems the claims of Craig Wright about supposedly holding a lot of bitcoin were taken by the market as true and altcoins reacted very positively to this.

But since then BSV has suffered a great correction and it most likely will keep going down, and it seems as if many altcoins will soon follow because at least for what I can see in the charts there are too many factors that are indicating that a correction is imminent and may happen any day now.

Well, two types of altcoins exist. Next are those who have bigger caps but don't really have any real-life use intent and the other category of altcoins focused on advanced tech, exceptional privacy features and many other good things that many people don't even know about. On those low cap coins that are young, I'm expecting an altseson and have the potential to turn the tables and make history. Hopefully it will make us money.

I guess there's a lot of people waiting for the altcoin season because they think the altcoin will grow again. But unfortunately, we still have to wait a while and be patient as we don't know when it will come, and we can only predict without knowing the truth. Perhaps the altcoin season will start after bitcoin is halved, so it's going to be a good time for the bitcoin to rise, and then the altcoin price will follow. Making us all quite a bit of money.

There is no reason why we disclose for them to see the sunshine again but it isn't working that easy.
Are we in Bullrun already? Or does the market turn into bullish this year? If this thing will happen, therefore there is a big chance that Altseason will come.

I'll keep on track in HERE (https://cointelegraph.com/tags/cryptocurrencies) for these things will affect the market situation. We are still at the start of this year and the market price is still at low but this will be changed once halving is at launch.

I guess there's a lot of people waiting for the altcoin season because they think the altcoin will rise again. But unfortunately, we still have to wait a while and be patient as we don't know when it will come, and we can only guess without knowing the truth. Perhaps the altcoin season will start after bitcoin's halving, so it's going to be a good time for the altcoin to grow, and then the altcoin's price should follow.

while kucoin is a good exchange AFAIK yet they have no power to give closer prediction because this is all for Publicity or advertising of their exchange and nothing else.

who are they to say Altcoin Season is coming when even Bitcoin season is not yet arriving ?of course the Number 1 currency first before altcoin must experience Bullying and thats the fact.also reality because there are no time happens that altcoin goes pump first before the Mighty Bitcoin.

This time is good for you to invest altcoins but you should be careful and consider carefully because not every coin can increase good prices in this market. Most people are waiting for altcoin season to appear this year and it will certainly happen soon so by all means make a good profit from this market this year. Of course you have to decide for yourself because no one can make investment options for you.

I always analyze and never trust others so in recent years I have been very successful trading in crypto market.

It seems people have the false idea that just because an asset is in the market it has got to move and give profits and that is not really accurate, if you take a look at other markets there have been instances in which the stock market did not gave profits for decades, if you look at gold you will see it has a tendency of not doing much for years or decades as well and then skyrocket in a matter of a year.

My point is that this disappointing season in the performance of altcoins could last for a very long time and by the time the recovery comes you could be out of the market disappointed by your lack of success.

I think we need some more confidence in the market before we can have a true altcoin bull run. But recent signs have been encouraging. We've obviously had a mini-dip the last couple of days, let's see if the support holds. It is a good sign I think that the BSV-led surge pulled up the whole market, and we do seem to be relatively stable at these higher prices.

this post was very thru back in Dec 2019 and stilll right now!
many coins are at so low levels they broke the support of 2-3 years
i think that its because the supply grew a lot, but psychologically for traders it looks very promising
im as a holder almost all in on ALTS now
altseason is coming.

You're basing off your analysis off one particularly important assumption - that bitcoin has indeed topped.

I don't think that is a correct assumption to make. BTC is still quite bearish right now especially after the $9k resistance proved to be too strong. It is likely that we'll see more movement in the BTC markets for the months ahead before any sort of stability, especially after Chinese New Year.

But I think that you're right in regards to the fact that when BTC is stable is when alts make the most gains.

Well, the much anticipated altcoin season is soon to come. We don't know how long this is gonna last.l, but then we must be prepared to be part of this altcoins bull. HODL!

@hello_good_sir, if we're to make prediction about when altcoin season will happen using the previous market momentum. Altcoin market season usually occurs when bitcoin market is stable, not when halving is coming though as you presumed.
@alan2here, the future of altcoin depend on the bitcoin market occasion.
