Is the leveling (and steadying) of Bitcoin a sure sign that an alt season is about to come?

Does anyone think there's anything to worry about with regards to growth being too fast and another potential "bubble" situation?

The recent growth that happened with altcoins are not too fast like what happened in 2017. A lot of people have talked about the 4 years bullish cycle and it looks like this is still be beginning of the next big bullish trend.
When bitcoin's price very steady and it can be a signal for the bitcoin traders to pump altcoins
I have been watching it so many times.

Crypto will have wild swings for the near future so at some point every bubble will pop some what and pull back.  So its a mere game of timing the lows and highs, or just ultimately holding and riding out the swings.

Bitcoin is not steadying, mate. It is aggressively in a bull run. If your altcoin is not showing any signs of growth, sell them for Bitcoin. Bitcoin is going to create a new ATH soon and it might run over the altcoins on its way. But if your altcoin is one of the top ones, you don't have to worry about it. I think they are going to benefit as well from this bull run. I can see how ETH and XMR and other major altcoins are also gaining in prices in this bull season.

Nah, it just means that altcoin will further bleed as crypto investors will likely shift to Bitcoin. What's interesting though that if you talk about altcoin, only the top 10 coins are going to probably increase together with Bitcoin, the rest will suffer.

For some altcoins? yeah, specially the Defi and Uniswap hype, but for the top 10 and prime movers coins, the growth is good in the long run. The potential 'bubble' is still too far, I'm looking at 2021 and beyond. So better just continue to stack BTC on buy alts in the top ten.

There's no altcoin season. Just wait for the time wherein the majority of altcoins will soon make a growth.

But either on BTC bull or bear, you can take advantage of the altcoins with the right strategy. No need to wait for some altcoin pumps before making an action.

Nope, as I have observe bitcoin is volatile nowadays and that their is a wide transaction that takes place. But for altcoins they had too their season it depend on their marketing stratgegy or improvement that can attract the investors like the eth network. People had been investing eth knowing that they could enjoy more their network as fast and reliable altcoin. Well, there could be more altcoin that could step up and it all depend on marketing team.

What are the signs you see here?, and the recent rise of BTC makes you have confidence in the market and so does altcoins. But i do see that btc will remain the key player in the market for the time being, and there is no altcoin season yet. The positive news coming to the market recently is very snowy, the market has received much acceptance from big companies.

the possibility of altcoins will be even stronger next year if all cryptocurrencies become the main investment place it will make the price even higher if I see all the progress where the cryptocurrency exchange rate has increased this year making prices even more balanced and far beyond last year's price making crypto more and more known. widely by everyone in various countries not only that the purpose of cryptocurrency is getting better to make it easier for their users.

one thing that I always believe, every time there is a high and so fast rise. there will always be bubbles. and you could say that now the bubble has been created. It's only a matter of time until it explodes. then will the end of the year be an altseason?
according to my prediction it is impossible. no more altseason like a few years ago. The altcoins that will experience an increase are the ones that are chosen because they have good quality and are always developing.

The market has an altcoin season with DeFi tokens and many scam DeFi projects.

2 more months till the end of 2020 and I am not sure we will have a second altcoin season. I have my thoughts that the next season for altcoins will be next year when bitcoin climbs to its all time high price. The ride of bitcoin will stimulate greed of people and retail, small investors will accept high price of altcoins. They will rock next year.

Although 2020 is not the Altseason season, many coins or tokens have already pumped a lot.  Bitcoin has touched an all time high in two years.

I agree with your opinion, it will be back in 2017 where all Alts will show a good price, be it new or old Alts which definitely look attractive in the trade, but it all comes down to the developers themselves how they will take it and the whale will enter in their trap of buying and raising prices in their trades, so for that let's take a look at Alt's upcoming developments.

Definitely altcoin season this year. You'd be surprised on how much money investors are pouring in in DeFi projects during Q1-Q2 this year and that definitely brought attention to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency overall.

I don't know about you but I don't think Bitcoin is really stable right now or even in the near future. It could dump or pump anytime along with altcoins.

no one knows about the current situation. I feel that bitcoin is really pumping for now, and it's even closer to $ 20k, or a new ATH. it also triggers the development of altcoin prices. however, I don't think that the current altcoin price development is very good, or even this is not yet the altcoin season. however, we still need to see more developments. I think the increase is pretty good, but quite a lot of altcoins have dropped in price because of the very high price of bitcoin. I'm pretty sure the altcoin season will arrive, possibly later this year, or sometime next year.

Alts seems to stop dropping hard as most promising alts is down close to 50% or even 70%
However, given that 2020 will be ending in few weeks time

It would not be the year since we are left with a short time frame
On a full consolidation and if Bitcoin didn't plummet back below $10,000
An Alt cycle is very possible like 2017

If so many altcoins were getting pumped and that means we are in the altcoins seasons. If you have been watching the market since the first quarter of this year and there's a signal for altcoin's bullish trend was about to come and this time it's happening as bitcoin has started the big pump and altcoins are following bitcoin.
Bitcoin is not even getting the correction and that means of the support is really strong at this moment. Next month big pump for bitcoin and that's what we will see very soon.

Altcoin season? How? Tell me which altcoin has crossed its ATH value? A lot of altcoins are still eating dust - gaining 20-25% is nothing if we compare its ATH value. Just look at the NEO!  ;D

there is no more altseason. currently the market is only for the best coins. The altcoin shit won't get a place in the upside this time around. ATH will never happen again, just look at it now even though the market is green but only coins like bitcoin, ethereum and other old coins have increased. the rest remains unchanged.

we're nearly end of 2020, If there's any altcoin perform well the rest of 2020, there should be primary coin i mean, just potential coin which has great use case.

However, Else and every altcoin can lead into exit scam except bitcoin. Decision is yours, if you pick standard coin since circumstance isn't as in the past.

The answer will be maybe, as we don't know if bitcoin stability now is a sign for the altcoin to increase or getting the bull run. But if that happens, I think we will see another rally from the altcoin, and every coin will have their time to increase. Maybe we will see many altcoins rising together and confuse to decide what price we will sell our altcoin.

We need to worry about if the bitcoin price is getting dump because if bitcoin is down, the altcoin can follow to get another downtrend. The bitcoin price now seems to increase, although not much, and maybe that is because we almost at the weekend, which usually, the price will adjust.

For many altcoins, I think 2020 was a bad year. Seeing Bitcoin's dominance in the market which reaches 64%, only a few altcoins have increased in price because investors prefer to invest in Bitcoin. But I think Bitcoin's dominance will decrease next year because new investors will come and altcoins have a chance to go up in price

I don't see any sign of pump in this recent bullish thread, bitcoin have been taking slow and steady step since 10,000$ and and there have been few corrections too, this isn't a sudden pump and dump, this is a strong bullish movement, it's time for positive recovery and with PayPal announcement I believe crypto adoption will get better

Altcoin season is still not coming, it's Defi season,
before Bitcoin price reaches All time high, Bitcoin dominance will always be high,
we have to make sure that the dominance goes down and the Bitcoin price is sideways.

There is no Altcoin season now, Altcoin season has come and gone with a lot of profit, but I think Dec 2020 Altcoin season will come again. Good coins always go with profit, no season. You can look at ETH to invest. Ethereum 2.0 Mainnet Launch that is expected to be on 1st December 2020. Ethereum network will now shift from proof of work to proof of stake now need to stake 32 Ethereum to be a miner in ethereum network. One person needs 32 Ethereum to Stake and a total of 52426 ETH stake. So ETH could be a price boom.

Everyone is as apprehensive as you do, all indication show that bitcoin is bullish and should have done better when statistics are compare with previous bull market, however we are still far from it. I believe the height of price to be achieved would have warranted the early preparation, $60k-100k add-up is huge. The recent baby pumps in altmarket shows FOMO, as long as the price keep pumping traders will FOMO.

I don't agree if the 2020 alt season is coming soon, because this year only Bitcoin is moving aggressively. Whereas only the top 10
altcoins moved up following the increase in the price of Bitcoin, but even then only rose slightly. Based on my analysis, the alt season
will come in 2021, so if you want to buy altcoins, you can do it from now, before the price increases in 2021. But remember you should
only buy the top 10 altcoins, outside of the top 10 you should immediately sell the altcoins you have and buy Bitcoin.

We are watching the Bitcoin bull rally!

2021 will be pure surprises!

You have to know where to invest to win!

The altcoin season will come when everything is calm, and bitcoin traders are moving to altcoins,
currently there are still many Bitcoin holders, because they still believe that Fomo Bitcoin to reach all time high is still very high,
so altcoins will be not interesting, you must be patient more and more in this current situation.

2020 is absolutely a great year for bitcoin which has climbed up to $16000 recently. We are reaching higher and higher every week and it is a good sign for the crypto world. Despite its positive momentum, only a few altcoins show the positive movement. Personally, it is hard for all altcoins to go up because people are more aware of scam and shitty projects which do not give any benefit to us

Moreover, investors are smarter than they were in 2017. And many ignorant investors surrender investing their money in cryptocurrency and we do not need them who only create FUD and FOMO without contributing any useful thing.

Therefore, I guess some altcoins will go up, but not in 2020 because we only have 2 months left. It'd be better if everything happens in 2021. Right now I am working as hard as I can to earn more money to buy more Ethereum

You really meant what you said on your first paragraph?
How can you say 2020 was bad year for altcoins, perhaps you want their performance to be like that of 2017. Things has change, investors are looking for adoption and usecase than just ordinary shill projects with nothing to show for. Check year till date of top 100 coins and token on market cap, you will find out they have performed extremely okay with atleast a 100% ROI. That's pretty good compared to traditional instruments and assets. Check gold and Bitcoin, you wouldnt complain about altcoins.
On contrary to OP, the year has ended, I don't really see new Altcoin season but may be come 2021,we likely see bull run.

I feel it. Right now, bitcoin is pumping towards 16K dollars. Only few buy order then it will touch the 16K dollars price. In terms of performance, I expect that bitcoin as well as other cryptocurrency will boom in this year. Bull run is expected at the end of the year or beginning of 2021. Alt season is not still covering the market. It needs few time before we can see a greenish day again.

I almost agree here but I have to say some alts can no longer scam even if they want to (like ETH or LTC or Monero) because they have become decentralized enough to succeed on their own, can also not be easily attacked 51% etc.

Of course, none of them are as solid as Bitcoin but if there is an altseason, it will be good for the coins I just mentioned.

For me it will be still the bitcoin season, there are only few altcoins that are making move while the price of the bitcoin is already near at its all time high. For me the alt season will happen in 2022 for sure because I know that time many investors are not afraid anymore to make investment because that time there will be no virus anymore. The bitcoin have good movement in these current days and for me it will last until next year.

There will be no alt season in 2020. Yes some alts will increase in price in this 2 more months but that will not be an at season. Alt season will start in 2021 and peaked in 2022.

The year 2020 to the entire cryptocurrency market has been a mixture of good and bad market but the percentage of the market growth have been significant in a way but not too major due to the fact that the market have not increase greatly in terms of bitcoin price which is the view point and gateway to measure the growth in the market. And the altcoin market have not been really doing well in this year.

Anytime soon we will see an altseason, bitcoin is still heavily pumping, if this will continue to like close to its ATH, I think that's the time altcoins will also start running, but if bitcoin will fall back again, then altcoins will also struggle.

If we look at the trend only, that's likely what would happen based on my analysis.

So let's see!

Altcoin season is 70% possible today due to bitcoin trying to break 16,000$ level, I believe that this is just the beginning and year 2021 can be exact as that of January 2018, have a target and don't be greedy because once bullrun season is over the market will bleed alot and we might have to wait few years again before seeing another better market ride

more precisely now it has reached a price of $ 460 and will soon reach $ 500, maybe when ethereum has passed $ 500 then all altcoins will also experience a significant increase

No one know for sure but seeing eth hype maybe it's gonna come when mainnet launched but still a far way to go. However, bitcoin steadying is not a sure sign that altcoin season will come so don't expect too much otherwise you will be dissappointed but you must anticipate eth 2.0 the most because there's just so many projects or alts token that are under that ethereum blockchain so keep watching this major event of eth 2.0

You have just answered some of my worries surrounding the current Bitcoin momentum, the rate at which the bitcoin price moved and still moving seem diffrent to me compared to the 2017 bullish movement. The space at which the market is going might or might not be good for the altcoins pumps but the issue here is the altcoinseaons will be back after this struggles. Though, there are still available altcoins profits taking in the market, so, take profit now or wait for seasons of altcoin.

This is what everyone in the crypto world has been waiting for, yup Altcoin season 2.0.
will it happen again ?, hehe is very interesting to discuss right?
if this happens in 2020 then Bitcoin will also go to an all time high this year,
but everything is still unclear, keep hodl.

Still not chance for altcoin season in this year after many investor make busy by DeFi coin although at least defi become scam coin without many investor loss much money in DeFi coin. Still awaiting for next year what will happen with altcoin can growing up without waiting with bitcoin or always allow what happen with bitcoin later, when bitcoin down altcoin keep going down or not. I think investor only interested with bitcoin and altcoin if can recovery as soon possible because many investor wanna increase investment assets faster without holding for long term, by investing with altcoin need decision how to long for long time because altcoin waiting for bitcoin dominance less than altcoin and give for altcoin back to higher price.

according to my observations, ethereum is growing parallel to bitcoin. Now I do not observe this dependence, strange.

Seems that it's still not the time yet, while bitcoin still moving forward most of alts are in red.

Probably investors are riding with bitcoin and enjoying the party, most of them are not diverting yet since the train for bitcoin still hot.
It will happen though once there's a huge pumped for sure impacts will take place around the alts communities, best to take advantage
of those cheap alts that you think have a good potential to pumped up after this bitcoin rallies.

We need to wait for more to see the altcoin season comes at the market, but that will happen shortly. If you already bought many altcoins, you can expect and hope to profit from your coins. Maybe you can try to buy more amount for each potential altcoin that can have a chance to increase in the next bull run. But, no matter if bitcoin or altcoin will rise, we hope that we all can make a profit and try to recover our losses before having much money from the crypto.

I think when Bitcoin Bullish many people switch to altcoins because they can invest cheaper than bitcoin, so that altcoins can return to the way 2017 was the golden age of altcoins

No one can tell for sure what will happen from now till end of year, lately we have witnesses how btc have been increasing in price, dominating the whole market, while there have been some occasional price increase on some alts too, actually, I was hoping to see a major spike in alts price with this recent btc price pump but that hasn't happened yet, it is uncertain if it will happen this year or not, but I think the majority of crypto community are optimistic so lets watch and see how 2020 will end with crypto.

Bitcoin is not yet stable, it goes pump and dump still so Alts can't be rise yet as we are expecting. But once stable became stable at its price we can expect the Alts season already. So far you can still scalp some of the alts that have good movement and take a profit from it. Just be careful you might be left behind.

This time there will be no more manipulation or bubbles, because most of the big financial institutions (MicroStrategy, Gray Scale, ..) have held and issued long-term Hold strategies.
The good news is that in the near future Biden will appoint Gary Gensler to lead the Financial Policy Transformation Team.

Specifically here is no altcoins season because every coin growth by it's good features and attractive profitable
value.People used to love altcoins right now for  long because of the profit of those and it keeps good vibe.

We have been in an altcoin season for months, in principle since March / April. Because hardly anyone speaks about it, it shows that it is a relatively healthy development and not a hype like 2017 when the price was three or four times as much within a few weeks. I expect this development to continue in 2021, with slight setbacks, but we will certainly be higher at the end of 2021 than at the end of 2020.

Only a few altcoins will experience a sharp increase in price and most of the others will die by themselves. how could the price of most altcoins soar if they didn't move at all in the market all this time?
I'm just reminding us that we shouldn't expect too much of the altcoins as we have seen almost no movement at all in the market.

"Bubble" Situatuon seems relevant for now but it's not mean that crypto will going to completely zero value, There some good discussion out there and basically recent bullish on market trend was happen because this COVID-19 Pandemic, Why? Even though it's just an theory but USD Inflation seems too high and Panicked People searching "Safe Asset" With minimum loss because of this inflation, First https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-printed-more-money-in-one-month-than-in-two-centuries and https://medium.com/discourse/do-you-realize-the-massive-amount-of-money-printing-happening-due-to-the-coronavirus-pandemic-1f4347cc0404

It's also will affecting Alt market, There are tons of good news beside reason above.

Altcoin movement is not like Bitcoin which continues to move up leaving Altcoins far away, but I believe Altcoins will move to follow the movement of bitcoin and it only takes time for Altcoins to rise slowly.
I hope that next year there will be some changes for Altcoins and it will take a lot of patience and hold on to it until the time comes.

maybe the OP means if most of altcoins growing in fast movements thats called alt season my friend
and i agree with you investing in cryptocurrency is depends on how we use our strategy to enter and exit the market in the right time

Bitcoin is on an up rally now and investors are selling alts for buying bitcoin. If you have check coinmarketcap recent data then you will see BTC dominance is raising and alts is losing its dominance over the crypto market. Only ETH holds its influence and manages to be upwards in some points. So I think 2020 is a year for DeFi and NFT project mostly.

I completely agree with you, and I believe that if this growth trend continues at the same pace, then a little more, and the capitalization of Bitcoin will double. Apparently, the economic crisis and the fall of the assets familiar to investors, contributes to the development of the cryptocurrency market and the recognition of Bitcoin as a profitable investment.

as long as you hold the top altcoins there is no need to worry because I see the rise in the price of Bitcoin has affected the price of other top altcoins, especially on Ethereum. according to the chart BTC prices stabilized above $ 15k and ETH stabilized at $ 150. so I am optimistic that if Bitcoin can stabilize at its current price or even go higher then altcoins will follow suit.

thats mean altseason will not coming in this year, and for me the right time for altcoin season is next year
now investors and traders focused on bitcoin, thats why its hard for altcoins to grow, just like your words above many people exchange their altcoins to bitcoin at this moment

It's almost the end of the year and the viola season hasn't started yet, so I think not. Let's see what will happen next year.

Everyone can say anything while they can tell you. However, in investing, you have to be the best actor to determine which option is the best that can generate profit for you. There's no need to believe what people say about investing, because in the end you will get the result yourself. Take a look at the image below, there are 27 best altcoin in the top 100 in cmc besides bitcoin. If you think that 2020 is the time to pump up altcoin price, then the market should be green. Price volatility is an indicator that can both benefit and disadvantage trader and investor. You must be able to make the best choice.

A lot has happen since 2017 and it feels like there are more stable grounds for crypto, even though real fundamentals to base prizes on are still lacking. But there are a lot of new actors entering the market. Paypal prhaps being the most prominent lately.
I especially like when traditional (if Paypal can be determined as that) are entering the crypto space, because that gives legitimacy to the industry. That is what will drive real mass adoption.

I believe we are in the beginning of a new rush.

I don't think that this is a bubble.

If this is a bubble then sure it's about to pop soon. But what we see is a natural growth of bitcoin, looking at where it came from and how much the price by that time. We can conclude that this is an actual growth which is expected.

Alt season for this year? we don't know when it will start. The important thing for us to see is that bitcoin is pumping again and which is likely to start the trend for alts soon but without any idea when.

It's too fast to say if this year belongs to alt coins, because if we look at the current chart in the market, only a few alt coins have bubbles and some other alt coins don't seem to have had a big impact from the increase in bitcoin prices in the market, only a few large alt coins just like eth which seems to be getting a strong boost from rising bitcoin prices, but it's a pretty good start right now for those of us who holds eth.

I cannot say in this year will be alt season because of some prices of altcoins are now is in dip.
And we dont know on when will be increase the price again, And some of my altcoins at my portfolio was always sleeping and not moving the price a little bit but maybe this will be have a time for them to be have progress so Im holding it as long as I have patience.

Well, it has been observed in the past that whenever Bitcoin rallies, then the next phase will be altcoin season., wherein after BTC reached its peak and started to decline, the funds in the BTC market goes to altcoin which triggers several altcoin markets to surge.  But who knows, they say history repeats itself but then sometimes it will take a longer time.

The same history could be repeated again. it took only a month for bitcoin in 2017 to touch its ATH. The same thing could happen when bitcoin will be touching the new ATH in January next year. Bitcoin shows a very very strong sign that the ATH could be easily reached by bitcoin. I do believe we will see bitcoin to touch another ATH and then altcoin will follow it.

The old history will be repeating again. Just prepare your seatbelt and we will be going to the moon very soon.

Alt season for sure will come and bitcoin price is not steadying because price is volatile. Btc movement dominnates at all the time in the market. So we could not think these days an alt season rather we have to wait and take this opportunity to buy some alts that is good to buy.

It is a pity that the market is still held by bitcoin and that altcoins are unknown to be valuable on their own.

In the past makes me see that the altcoin season trend here is not clear. The whole market is going up and I think bitcoin is the main factor, and I also see people are more interested in bitcoin, the altcoins that get a lot of attention here are mainly projects with updates important next time.

Maybe the big huge altcoin increase will happen in 2021? I still think we are doing fine but most of the money for alts went to DeFi related projects this year and not into trusted old ones that we know of, which is why I think it is quite important we realize bitcoin may increase (or decrease) but altcoins may just stay like this and make some movement but not have a huge break out this year.

This year was defi year and they did great, next year maybe it will be something else and it could impact all of altcoins instead of a certain amount of them only, at which case the new tech or whatever trend next year will have could potentially change altcoins shape and could make them go back to their own ATH prices just like how BTC is trying to do right now.

The rapid growth all made bitcoin the second bubble easily. But with this halving and the heavy inflation prediction will also affect the price of bitcoin a lot.
I'm not sure but 80% is the possibility that Bitcoin will surpass ATH and make a new high in the next 2 years. There isn't anything that can stop Bitcoin, it will soon become a familiar currency that any bank must have in the future :)

 I am thinking the same I expect ATH will happen this year and alt season will start once Bitcoin reach and break another ATH .  So if ever Bitcoin price move more than 20k$ this year then expect the altc season to start next year. There is no way it will not and like what happen to 2017 many altcoin will follow Bitcoin trend .

So the best time accumulating altcoin is now befir Bitcoin break his ATH .

Yes the market favours ATH for bitcoin this time but I cannot convince myself about altcoins apart from Ethereum because we have not seen any remarkable pump in the value of other altcoins apart from the gradual increase in the value which has been accumulated in last one year.

If you compare all time low of altcoins with current price it has already gained massively but at the same time if you compare it with all time high then you will realise that the difference is even higher. I would says we cannot consider altcoin bull run until top altcoins gains atleast 25% of its current value.

Dont hope for some bubble but with this very unpredictable market then it can happen from time to time.Steadying bitcoins price doesnt mean
that it will switch up to altcoins because it doesnt correlate from time to time.
We have seen that bitcoin can stabilize and alts are still on reds or in idle manner but there are instances which alts do rise up when bitcoin is on read.
Its just a switch up on simple explanation but theres no such thing for people to say that it is the precise thing that been happening behind.

2020 market situation resembles me a bit 2017. If you look back and compare altcoins and Bitcoin graphs of that year you will see the similarity. I am afraid of another thing here. New crypto winter can come to the market again. We need to be very attentive when trading/holding/investing.

why we should affraid with this condition ? isn't it already be good condition where is cryptocurrency market already recovered, we must remember 2017 market rise due its hype but today market rise because giant investors that come from finance firm already come to and join here. everything is okay now no need to worry.

We wont see new ath on btc pair alt market,but definitely new ath on usd pair

Alt began to dip more to make room for growth, most project was dead.

And soon maybe many zombie life again for the las time

When viewed from the chart and market conditions are very precise in 2017,
especially in this year the price of Bitcoin also experienced a sharp decline in March,
just like in 2017 the price of Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline in July, before Bitcoin pumped again,
and you can see its history through the Bitcoin chart, maybe 2020 Bitcoin can touch $20k, and altcoin season in 2021.

I thought the big DeFi pump from a few months ago was altseason. That's what a lot of people were saying because Bitcoin was not performing as well as these altcoins and ETH was leading the rally. Now the momentum has shifted in favor of Bitcoin and altcoins are lagging behind. These are normal market cycles. The ETH 2.0 hype could boost altcoins again. Alts usually depend on hype to perform well otherwise they fall further when BTC drops and rise slower when BTC is pumping.

I am personally rocking the Uniswap ride, and it has been great up until this point! :D

But in 2017 there is no Pandemic that happens and the said Fall is for correction only and not the worldwide economic problem.

https://coinmarketcap.com/ look at the comparison .

But about the 3rd and 4rth quarter there seems to be relation as the bull is slightly showing this October and November and the decision will happen next month
when the Last month and days of 2020 comes .

But the thing is when did you buy those coins and until when you can carry?

Bitcoin is the base of all the bubble. Now the price of many altcoin had started to increase parallel to the bitcoin. Actually the bitcoin price had influence the price of altcoin many times.The altcoin is the trading partner for the people with less investment. Once they analysis in good manner, surely they will gain huge profit.

bitcoin and altcoin could not separated, its influenced each other . bitcoin as major coin could direct altcoin movement even that pump or dump. altcoin often recognized as alternative investment in cryptocurrency market, and for sure its price also depend on market sigth to bitcoin, if its okay to buy bitcoin and it will be okay to buy altcoin.

You should wait for the Bitcoin price to reach ATH again before expecting an alt season,same pattern like what last 2018 has when
after the highly recorded Bitcoin price of $20,000 then the altcoins specially Ethereum starts the run
in January 2018 hitting 14 hundred dollars price.

Where is too fast?is more than 2 years is not enough waiting?

and also have you forgotten that Halving has just recently happen and if there is no Pandemic we surely reached these value >

Looks like a good chance the 2020 alt-season came and went over summer/autumn and now will make see further downside in winter. 2021 alt-season looks more promising now, once Bitcoin reaches a new all time high imo, unless altcoins can outpace Bitcoin in the coming weeks from some BTC consolidation of price. Anything is possible though.

There's a always a conflict of indicators when altcoins price against Bitcoin generally looks very bearish, but against fiat they look bullish or neutral to bullish.

That's the changing point, once bitcoin reaches a new ATH, then the confidence of the investors will flow in the market and they would be able to invest on altcoins as well, I'm looking at the price now and we are so close to an ATH, one big run and we will be there and we don't know what would happen next after the ATH is hit, probably like the last bull run, a crazy FOMO is gonna happen.

Profits from Bitcoin will tend to flow back to altcoins as the market used to. I see altcoins gradually increasing in value over time but still early as Bitcoin is in the process of making progress towards the old ATH. When Bitcoin goes past $ 20,000, we will have a chance to see how the market grows. One thing is for sure that in 2020 trash projects will not have a chance of skyrocketing because investors have gotten wiser, so do whales. Only cryptocurrencies with clear content can actually gain at price.

It is going over a thousand ethereum a day and it will definitely reach to that 524k number one day or another, it is waaaaaay too big and I don't know why the specific reason for having that big of a number, why couldn't they do 52k instead of 524k but at the end of the day there must be some technological reason behind it to make it reality, hopefully it will happen before 2021 so that we can start the new year with that.

When that happens it will move people to ETH a lot more, because having eth 2.0 will make people stake and get involved, when they get involved with ETH that much they will be easier to move to other coins and erc20 tokens as well which will make altcoin season start once again. I know we have been decent recently but with 2.0 we will be x2 more than this.

Not sure if we gonna watch a new season.
Mainly because in 2017, crypto attracted too much newbie people and that caused a big euphory and bubble.

The difference from now, is that everyone is waiting for that moment again to invest and the market never does what people expect.
2017 feelings: Wow, we will be rich!
2020 feelings: Ok, we saw what happened in 2017, learned with it. Lets wait for the moment to become rich.

Maybe 2021 is the alt seasons, right now the btc dominance is really strong wherein the 24 hr volume reached $30 trillion. Imagine that kind of money wherein a lot of people are really participating in that kind of trend, most of the altcoins are still not moving so my expectation is they will make a move in the 1st quarter of the year 2021. I hope that there will be a good news and good movement when the January 2021 finally come. For sure there will be many altcoins that will have triple digit gains if the alt season will finally come.

All hopes about altcoin season this year are far gone. This year has already come to an end. Altcoin season will happen next year and it will be less bullish compared to the 2017 bull run.
Next year bull run of bitcoin will shake the whole crypto space. Am expecting to see a $50k price of bitcoin by next year

This describes it pretty much. People are not as euphoric as they were in 2017 and that makes the current situation a lot better. There are exaggerations here and there, but overall the trend is much healthier than three years ago.

It really is. We can even safely assume that the majority of cryptocurrency users are left more experienced and sensible, who learn from other people's mistakes. Moreover, those who failed in 2018 due to unprofitable investments left the market long ago. That is why people are more judicious in their decision-making during this period. Perhaps even because of this, it can be assumed that the 2020 market is more stable.

Altcoins and bitcoins are somehow connected but not parallel to each other in their movements all the time. Bitcoin could go up while alts go down, alts could go up while bitcoin goes down, bitcoin could go up while alts go up, bitcoin could go down while alts go down too. Anything could happen.

If you want to see an alt season I suggest you do not look at bitcoin because that will not give you any indicator, it will only help you with whatever you imagine bitcoin will be doing but it will not be doing anything for alts since it is unpredictable how alts will react towards bitcoin movement. However if there is something major, like recent eth 2.0 news or even the defi hype we had, anything remotely similar to that again which could make people people be interested in it, alt season could come again.

not too fast mate, as you can see a lot of good news coming to crypto right ?
and the impact will increase the demands my friend, then when the demands grow, this will push the price up
also i don't see any potential bubble situations, this is pure movements because a huge demands coming to crypto space

If the general sentiment of the altcoins will be good in the end of the 2020 then maybe next year we can see a lot of altcoins that are making strong price surges. My expectation are really to see that most of the altcoins especially the potential ones to have healthy uptrend. The good thing is a lot of potential altcoins are managed to do a successful reversal in this past weeks so for sure they will have a strong trend in next year.

Bitcoin will make another ATH soon and it may run over the altcoins on its way. In any case, if your altcoin is one of the best ones, you don't need to stress over it. I think they will profit also from this bull run. Notwithstanding, bitcoin steadying is certainly not a definite sign that altcoin season will come so don't expect a lot of else you will be disappointed yet you should foresee eth 2.0 the most in light of the fact that there's simply countless undertakings or alts token that are under that ethereum blockchain so continue watching this significant occasion of eth 2.0

In 2020, I always trade until I forget the bounty, from my point of view, 2020 is not an altcoin season,
this is a mini altcoin season and it was achieved in Q3 yesterday,
because we know Q1-Q2 is very bad for cryptocurrencies and recovery is slow, Probably according to my prediction,
if Bitcoin can afford an all time high this year, the altcoin season will be in 2021.

Yeah, Bitcoin already crossed 16K$ by that time but there's a pullback happened to around 15K$ plus, but we can see now that it's back to 16K$ again and many traders and investors are eyeing for Bitcoin to goes up to 18K$ within this month so let's see then. Bitcoin price should be set stable first before Alts will follow.

What you said is right, we should always grab the potential altcoins when the market situation is in a downtrend, crypto will pay you based on the research spend and the analysis done by you, in crypto, we should always wait for the market recovery otherwise, we will end up in loos.

better called a "Defi Season" lol because aside from bitcoin hitting $16,000 again Defi projects dominates the market and outsource the other popular altcoins.
Crazy thing but its true though Defi is starting to subside now and the scam and fake projects are starting to die.

It will happen on both sides, thier season may happen before the end of the year,, but i think defi season has higher chance compared to alts, as what you said some alts will going to die.

first many alt bagholder see btc at this peak, will unload their stash and make alt losing more until, new fresh investor take over

changing hand, even at loss they will sell first, only true holder will stand againts the waves, it will be interesting year and try not to loss everything you have, carefull guys

Bitcoin will make another ATH soon and it may run over the altcoins on its way. Yet, in the event that your altcoin is one of the main ones, you don't need to stress over it. Individuals had been contributing eth realizing that they could appreciate more their organization as quick and solid altcoin. All things considered, there could be more altcoin that could venture up and everything rely upon advertising group.

Don't expect too much, especially to hope that all the altcoins can return to high prices like they were in 2017. because the situation now is completely different from that time. Now everyone is hoping the altcoins price can get back high so they can sell them all, no more high expectations from altcoins holders, then who will buy them if everyone wants to sell altcoins.

With the current momentum continuing until 2021, we are going to see all time highs broken during 2021 as well. Most coins were dropped 70%+ and even some of them 90%+ so it was really looking like it is unlikely that they would be back on ATH prices ever again.

Frankly speaking we are talking about bitcoin not going down that much, sure even this year it hit $4k but that is not really as bad as ethereum which was 1500 at peak and saw as low as 80 dollars at bottom, THAT is really fall and not what bitcoin had and most of the time bitcoin was around $6-12k range during this period while ethereum barely had 10% of what ATH was.

So, I feel like 2021 will be year where we break over ATH of bitcoin but also all other big altcoins as well and be really high in price.

I think this is not the alt seasons because of the price of bitcoin currently is soaring high in the market. We cannot tell when it will happen since the market for alts were declined. But, I think there is the time for alts to increse the market, because these days btc has the highest dominance that makes alts in red marks.

Bitcoin will make another ATH soon and it may run over the altcoins on its way. However, in the event that your altcoin is one of the best ones, you don't need to stress over it. I think the expansion is very acceptable, however a considerable amount of altcoins have dropped in value on account of the exorbitant cost of bitcoin.

Altseason will start once BTC calms down thats why pack your bags now!
There are already a lot of great calls on several altcoins but it is time to get $KING tokens https://info.uniswap.org/pair/0x486c1609f9605fA14C28E311b7D708B0541cd2f5 as it will be the biggest gainer during the next NFT hype. You don't want to miss it. NFT trend is emerging and https://www.kingswap.io/ will be a true leader there

in my opinion is correct. If Bitcoin has reached a high and stable. then the altcoin session starts. and that would make the altcoin price 2-3x the current price. But there is my concern, what if the price of bitcoin continues to be unstable, and after a high rise, bitcoin falls rapidly. hence the altcoin session doesn't stand a big chance. the increase will only be for high quality coins.

This is already an history of previous bitcoin bounce last 2017, because after that highest climb of btc price altcoins also had a good time pumping. But we didn't know how long we could wait further until such time everything will subside according to normal situations. For now let's just be patient enough since the world still battling economic situation which pandemic really affects the whole world's economy.

Pandemic again lol,People now are just care nothing about this BS virus because if they still live with this they have only 2 option to die,either in Virus or In hunger so now we are moving in normal way and gamble our lives just to survive.

while crypto market seems to be recovered fully and the run is here,Climbing the price of Bitcoin to 18,000 dollars?expect a fast run any moment.

I am not sure that is a bubble for bitcoin knowing the fact halving happened this year. Most probably to see an altseason would be in the spring of 2021 if we are looking back at 2017 chart

its the btc price that has got rise not the alts but why you call it altseason or say that altseason is coming . altcoins are the ones that supposed to show an increase but seeing their performance these days i dont think that there is an incoming alt bullrun .

i am more excited seeing the price sky rockets faster than being worried that it may dump also faster . my confident have even grewed more when i see that this new price of btc are glued on . if i still remember the 2017 btc bull run arent like this , i mean its stability when btc is already on top but price now and on the past have similiarities .

Just like what happen in last halving 2017 Bitcoin dominated the whole market and recorded ATH in December of that same year but When 2018 starts Ethereum shows the start of alt season recording Its own ATH at 14 hundred plus Dollars.

_____________


So Lets wait upto 2021 in which expected the growth of altcoins following the Bitcoin growth.

depending on Bitcoin, if bitcoin at the end of this year reaches a new all time high,
I'm sure 2021 is altcoin season, but if not, then we will wait even longer for the altcoin season,
whether this will happen again or not.

I think there will be no altseason this year. This year will be all about bitcoin. I guess bitcoin is not tired its just fueling again to reach its new ATH before this year ends. And hopefully bt the first quarter of 2021 altseason will happen.

Halving could not be a strong reason to prove why this is not a bubble but the strong proof could be there were so many billionaires started to take some portions from their portfolios to be used by bitcoin. This brings massive adoption to the bitcoin. Various funds management platforms were also starting to buy bitcoin or at least suggested its clients put some percent of their portfolios to the bitcoin.
Paypal's effect was also playing a lot in this case.

agree with this. I have recently bought 2 NFT https://opensea.io/assets/kingtokennft-knight and already getting 20k $KING per block as a reward ! Highly recommend everyone to research https://www.kingswap.io/ project

indeed, this Q4 of 2020 is the time for bitcoin to show up its power and maybe we will never see altseason in this year
for sure next year can be the right time for good and solid altcoin to reach or even surpass the past high price

We cant tell since we do still have 1 month left but to presume out that these last days will not really be having those altcoin movement.
Now top altcoins do have some movement or increase in price but not on the same extent on where bitcoin did able to achieve.
There would always be a chance of market shift thats why for those who can risk on buying up some alts then they would really consider such act
because they do know the probability or chance on making profits later on.

Altseason it will come in no time but we need to wait on when will be started be so as of now always gonna do buy some potential coins like HEX, Chainlink Ill think this two altcoins that I mention its have a future to rise the price and earn high profit. But now as we can see etherium id the one in move and we hope more altcoins will be followed on him to rise.

For ETH? Sure yes!
Other than that it's still questionable, even BNB is still struggling at $28 for 2 weeks. It might have an impact for some big altcoins such as ETH and BCH on its recent fork but the rest of altcoins are still not yet in altcoin season. If the community doesn't even care with those small coins than what is the point for altcoin season for them.

I think next year will be great and I really look forward to the discussions on here as I forsee a bunch of projects doing well, but not because a big name did a youtube about it, but because of people realising which projects have real functionality or fundamentals and arent just a catchy sounding idea. I think there's a lot that blockchain could and should be used for and I ready to embrace the changes to come. Were bound to see a bunch of 100x coins but it wont be on hearsay like last time, it will be on product produced.

I definitely agree that the altseason may come a bit later. First we need to reach to a point where bitcoin no longer can support going any higher, right now it is still going higher and even if it gives breaks a bit, it is still going higher after the break. Which is why I think it is highly important that we realize first we need bitcoin to stop going up.

After bitcoin stops going up people will try to keep it high for a while and that moment is the transition period to altcoins, with altcoins not breaking its own ATH but bitcoin breaking over ATH, it will suddenly look like altcoins are the way to make more money now that bitcoin is not going up. All of which could take as much as 6 months but could happen in a day or in a year as well depending on when bitcoin stops.

Patience young grasshoppers your day will come soon.

We must realize that the Bubble will never disappear from Bitcoin,
if the altcoin season comes, of course we have to pay attention to the dominance of bitcoin,
the dominance of BTC has to go down to 45% if you want to see the altcoin season.

Liquidity is already flowing into $KING token. Nice i have grabbed some few days earlier. However for those who still did not - you still have a time to do that!! NFT trend and DeFi are going to be big and https://www.kingswap.io/ combines both!

currently altcoin prices are starting to rise, but I feel that the increase is not maximal. if altcoin season happens at the end of this year, the best possibility is altcoin or crypto world will be in the spotlight in 2021. Usually before the altcoin season, the altcoin price will go up starting on ethereum, and that's currently happening. well, I hope the increase will be really high.

Ripple (XRP) is the one whos making way to the top Rising more than %35 as of this moment while Bitcoin and Ethereum stays to 5% growth.

I think the Altcoin season is near coming with this trend,though we are still waiting for the ATH of the rank number 1 currency before we head up to the Altcoin season again.
If i am not mistaken this same situation back in 2018 when the Bull for Bitcoin happens in 2017 and ends up before 2018 comes.

no, 2020 is the season for bitcoin. there is no place for altcoins at the moment. as nearly 90% of the altcoins on the market today have no value. so no altseason, no bull for the altcoin market. only the big altcoins can feel the impact of the current bull trend. so if you have altcoins that are less popular better sell, and buy bitcoins. this is much more profitable.

only selected altcoin have value this season, such as Waves, Lend, AAVE and Chainlink, to be honest,
it's a shame, because not all altcoin holders this year are happy, hope 2021 all holders altcoin wil be happy.

$KING is indeed a gem. I have been increasing my stack since its started trading on Uniswap. Also considering to grab some NFT...It is already rising in value!

there many altcoin growth this year even that new project launched recently. look af NFT project OCTO its price rise more 1x since launching, and still continue its trend till next year. if we research actually many hidden gem in market now especially from uniswap, but unfortunately this project not popular yet.

there are so many new projects that it's very hard find an hide gem. Altcoin season is over. Around 1 each 1000 project can survive in a long term (10+ years)
Most of User try a big speculation (50x) and rarely are able to make a cash-out with an altcoin maximizing profit.
Most of these projects turn out to be a scam or just products not ready for the market. I will not be focused in any new token since investing in bitcoin is already rewarding (and stable respect these altcoins).

If you are a LP increase your passive income and reduce impermanent loss with https://peanut.trade/ Also earn governance tokens while you just lock your money in any pool. Win/win. Project protects LPs from impermanent loss by dampening the price movement from large DEX trades with the corresponding asset on CEX. Sale is scheduled in 2 weeks. This is a real GEM!

People are kept waiting for the altcoin season to start when the price of Bitcoin stables, Bitcoin price movements is not stable at the current situation, so it is good to grab some potential altcoin which has actively developed coins will surely help those coins to reach new ATH in the market.

Once Bitcoin is getting stable with its price for sure Altcoins will follow too. And this already started now, Bitcoin was being followed by Ethereum (ETH), and now the Ripple which we can see it's surging at this very moment. There are others of Altcoins too that are starting to surge now.

Yes, seems BTC keep stable at around 18k. Now Ethereum and some top alts started grow too. a\After this should start grow small alts with micro cap.

We must be optimistic in believing that a big bull market is coming, but every time we think about Altseason we are frustrated with the big corrections and retreat of the big investors and whales. On the other hand, pessimism leads nowhere and makes us wrong and that is why we must be neutral and wait for progress and where we can find the stabilization of the charts and how far the market energy will reach. It's still too early to define.

One thing that's really happening in the crypto market is that Bitcoin is back in 3 years. We can hope and believe an upcoming Altcoins season when a pandemic breaks out, Bitcoin trading shows us how useful it is to reduce exposure and spread.

Let us forget about it, there are always have some people are talking about bubble and worry about it, no matter is past, today or future, people who hold this view will always exist and be active.
Back to the topic, i think alt season is coming now, just look at the Cryptocurrency Market, everyone will know this is ture.

Yeah, the market looks as healthy as it ever has, including 2017. There's money going into projects with an actual premise and not just hype. Which ironically is making me hyped!  ;D

Really looking forward to 2021, also looking forward to blockchain revolutionizing many many industries. Good things to come!

The last time the Bitcoin hit this price, this forum and social media were full of newbies, brand new ICO's every hour, spammers, bounty hunters...

This time it really seems different, as to me the forum seems quite empty in comparison, and I miss many of the profiles in social media that three years ago used to post on a daily basis.

On the other hand, my meek twitter account gets very hardly ever a new follower, while I would say that I tweet more often than before, while in 2017 I had new followers every day.

To me, this is really a positive indicator :) long growing way ahead...

only high capitulation has increased well, what about the low cap ?,
I still don't see any movement there, I see HEX is also now dropping drastically,
even though this project is currently being discussed.

Forget about them annd focus with the opportunities that the market is bringing.

If you'll look inside the market now, it's simply saying that after this bitcoin rallies alts who have good community around are also pumping.
Don't missed it and invest with coins you trully trust, there's always a good chance of success with project you already knew, all you have to is to buy and hold for the target that you are aiming to gained.

I agree with you for the present situation. But sooner or later there will be the next hype, especially when the prices continue to rise as they have done over the last months. The media is slowly going to cover Bitcoin and Crypto price surge again. So the fishes are slowly coming back into the shark tank. So much remembers to the situation in late 2016 and early 2017. However the situation is slightly different, we now have a lot of companies (for instance Paypal) and much more institutional investors then three years ago.

Well, everytime Bitcoin will become stable at a very good price it's already a sign that Altcoins will be followed but sometimes it still depends on the project like what you are saying about HEX. There are factors to consider also if Altcoins will follow Bitcoin or not.

I do think this year is a good year for Altcoin investors. As you can see the prices of top 10 coins all have been up especially Ripple and Ethereum.

the word "Alt Season" came from what happen in 2017-2018 when Bitcoin took the whole last quarter of 2017 and then ultimately Altcoins follow in 2018 leading by Ethereum that also hit the ATH in January of 2018.
What is being fast?the Pump that supposedly expected mid of this year if the Corona Virus did now spread the whole world.

So what we having right now maybe the potential start of the Bull.

wait till its turn come and we will see top altcoin price will booming. recently altcoin price growth smootlhly but for investors its not enough , they want booming like in bitcoin. confidence and trust to market now coming back again after for many years we're through.

Yes we all are thinking that the altseason are coming but the turns didn't yet start .We are watching that btc are still ahead to raise the ATH level on the other hand altcoin are struggling .If btc got a stable place we can see the nes altseason at the year end .I hope we can see all alt on green mark.

I am now just waiting for the altcoin season to arrive, and indeed the time has finally come to party,
the long wait is coming to an end, even though now only the top altcoins are experiencing bulls,
I am sure low to medium capital altcoins will follow suit.

If you are realistic about the valuation then it might take another 5 to 7 years to reach those valuation and as a bitcoin investor for a long time i am happy to book my profit and i might even sell everything i hold if it reaches those valuation and i might purchase a yacht and go for a world tour :D .

I believe that not only 2020, but also 2021 will surprise with the scale of growth, as Bitcoin will show a new all-time high. In addition, these indicators can actually make many of us rich. In addition, everyone who has recently expressed skepticism about the near future of bitcoin will try to bite their elbows because they turned out to be wrong.

your dream is very beautiful, hopefully I also want to travel around the world on a cruise ship haha,
but all I have is altcoin only, and it's in low capitalization, hope altcooin season makes everyone happy.

But if it is true that there will be an earthquake in the world economy. All markets will be chaotic and will turn to bitcoin. In other places I try to be realistic and optimistic that the day will come and that I might buy an island to live in. ;)

I know this project very well. It is created by Remme team, also Curve DAO is strategic partner and probably seed investor. Defimitely the project to keep an eye.
I will buy some $NUX tokens on their sale for sure. I already feel 2017 vibes in the air and if so these new hyped ICOs gonna moon hard once again ;D 8) No way I miss it   ;)

Ethereum and Ripple Sparks the Altcoin network as Ripple made a really amazing %140 7 day growth in which not expected that soon.

While Ethereum also have made it More than $600 in price .

So all in all maybe in the next month of November of in the early months of 2021.

In the event that your altcoin isn't giving any indications of development, sell them for Bitcoin. Bitcoin will make another ATH soon and it may run over the altcoins on its way. In any case, if your altcoin is one of the best ones. However, for altcoins they had too their season it rely upon their advertising technique or improvement that can draw in the financial specialists like the eth network. Individuals had been contributing eth realizing that they could appreciate more their organization as quick and solid altcoin.

Perhaps it is worth paying attention not only to the market charts, but also to the general state of affairs, where almost all altcoins, including Ethereum, are very far behind bitcoin, especially when compared with 2017 and 2018. Despite the recent green light, most Altcoins have not shown the high enough activity inherent in the altcoin season.

I do not think we have approached bubble territory when it comes to bitcoin yet, the speed of the growth this time around was way slower signalling that this is real demand and that the price went up because of it and not just because some whales were speculating with the price, however the current reduction in the price of bitcoin seems to be getting away the possibility of an altcoin season as altcoins are losing and incredible amount of ground and if even coins like ripple have lost roughly 30% of their value in a single day I do not want to imagine how much some altcoins that are not in the top 10 have lost.

the current corrections iindicating if altcoins season will not in this year, and maybe next year could be the best time for altcoins to growing more and break its ATH

yesterday bitcoin price down around $3k in a day , and looks like some whales liquidate their position and take profit that will used to rebuy in low price. they still unsatisfied with current condition and want more, maybe if bitcoin and altcoin price drop again they will take position with larger fund and it possible to support all crypto price hit new all time high. if we understand how whales make money , i am sure we will do the same strategy. they will not always hold , but always buy and sell with high frequency. based on Dow theory its more profitable than just hold without doing anything.

With the decline in BTC in recent days, it has slightly affected the growth of other altcoins, in my opinion this is a natural thing in the crypto world, this is an opportunity for us to buy quality and potential coin coins such as ETH, XRP  , Hex, XMR and coins In order to invest, I am sure that in 2021 every coin will experience an increase in price ,,

Everything was stopped because everything was dependent on bitcoin's movement.
When bitcoin dump, you know what would happen to altcoins.

We don't know yet if the dump is already over, or there will be a another wave of dump, for now, bitcoin seems stable.

2020 is most likely a short bull run, and those who sell at the right time will benefit.

Of course, the movement of bitcoin always shows some activity, but over the past six months, when Bitcoin rose from $ 9,000 to $ 19,200, altcoins were not very active and the transfer is clearly not a seasonal altcoin.

Yes, I agree with that, it's not yet altcoins season because it does not show the same kind of bullish movement last 2017, and as long as bitcoin gets a dominant rate of 50% above, it would be hard for altcoins to grow, and De-Fi projects is not as big as ICO in the past, so there's only few reasons on the altcoins season to come anytime soon.

You are wrong about ICOs market volume, you can check market volume for this year. It is raising

It is true. for now, price development has stalled as bitcoin price has fallen considerably. however, I think that the price will recover in the near future.
I didn't think that the alt season would be present this year, but until now the majority of altcoin prices have recovered. I'm pretty sure the altcoin price hike will start happening in 2021.

If you lock up funds in any pool make sure you grab some $nux tokens in 2 weeks peanut.trade on the sale and then get $nux forever while just providing liquidity on Uniswap as usual. Make sure you get tokens on the sale in two weeks as $nux is obligatory to increase your LP rewards forever

if i'am not wrong now bitcoin price already break its ATH, if this situations continues, i believe we will see the altseason next year not this year my friend

Altcoins don't think bitcoin is capable of moving fast as if they weren't ready. but over time the altcoins started to get over that and try to improve themselves soon. already seen that altcoins are starting to cope and move well and are very supportive.

I may agree with you that the current altcoins are not yet maximal for change, but it is certain that a very good time will happen next year. I hope those of you who still hold altcoins can enjoy what you have and be patient for it.

altseason will begin in feb 2021 in my opinion. if btc breakt 20k it will go to 30ks quickly in 2 months, in these levels, money will flow to alts.
eth 2.0 will be a good trigger for altseasons.

indeed, now is the right time to collect more potential altcoins, before the altseason show up next year,
because next year i believe bitcoin and altcoins will move together

This current month is actually the beginning of the alts season and you can find it by just comparing the charts of the altcoins where most are having reversal from downtrend to uptrend. What I like is there are base that are forming in different altcoins where it only means that there is no bubble that may happen because bubble is usually happening where the prices are having very parabolic move where it doesn't have any support or base. I'm hoping that the beginning of the year 2021 will be a good year where for sure that time, a lot of altcoins are keep breaking out to its major resistance and that time a lot of speculation and hype that may happen where it can add positive sentiment to the general movement and it can lead to a strong price surge.

Definitely altcoins season is possible, however, it will not just come as easy as we expect it, though bitcoin is already bullish but most altcoins are still struggling, other big altcoins have significant increase but still not enough to say it would really create a new ATH, the action relies on bitcoin movement which now still struggling to break a new ATH, if it will break, then we might have a bullish discussion here.

All I know is we are grinding up. Big swings up then swings down, with an upward trend. Looking forward to a prosperous 2021.

Overall this year isn't alt season. Though defi project was doing great at the beginning. But finally bitcoin showed the strongest move in this year. And altcoins also got a slight good move. Compare to btc this is nothing good. Maybe next year would be the perfect alt season.

There no enough time this year for altcoins, bitcoin could reach a new level of success by achieving a new ATH but altcoins will not just easily follow. Altcoins season is pretty much for most legit altcoins, they will rise with significant amount like before, and we need a FOMO for that.

To an extent we experienced a somewhat good altcoin season but I believe many people's expectations were not met, how? Before now when we hear about Altcoin season it is being seen as a season when altcoins pump, but nowadays what we experienced is an altcoin season that was limited to a certain number of altcoins and this certain number was mainly top altcoins. Hence, my humble opinion is, with the anticipation of altcoins growth extending to next year (if at all it's possible), let it be known that a lot has changed and no one is ready to invest in altcoins with no use case, top altcoins has taken the stage and it's likely to remain so.

You are right this season is strongest shown by bitcoin well altcoin are right following that moment, next year could it be if there a big correction in bitcoin. which might come on big days in Christmas and New Year so alt season can be happened real aswell which we will see together. maybe respond in reverse otherwise alt season will have to wait longer maybe yeah.

The positive signs of bullishness have been shown by Bitcoin. it's going on the past few months is very possible about an altcoins season is possible. But we should also be wary because greed is dangerous and makes People are immersed in paranoia about the successive price increases that will occur.

its only about time when altcoin will moved like bitcoin movement. overall only few altcoin could rise extremely and most of them come from speculation project in uniswap, major coins still steady and looks like waiting second wave from bitcoin bullish trend. all traders agree 2021 will be best moment for all cryptocurrency.

Major coins are relying in real market and not a Pumping one like what DEFI is doing now,This is not a real movement that we wanted instead Investors that will stay and won't just Bag our money and then back to being Shitcoin.
We are being Thrilled of the market now because the price is almost maintaining that Level for week now.
if this last for another week then Better decide about your holding or will duffer soon.

Since the beginning of this thread, I think the market has been very healthy. The more I think about it however, I'm not expecting any huge "seasonal" change. I do however expect a much slower steadier growth of projects with real use cases and promise to actually achieve something. I'm not looking in the micro, only the macro (time not cap). I hope that in this way we can avoid huge bubbles and drive on with the technological revolution.

much crypto traders and investors waiting altcoin season, but in my opinion why we dont follow the market trend to follow bitcoin season . isn't it profit be main purpose while we invest in this market ?if altcoin not coming yet, we must thinking its be our opportunity to add our bag with them. so when this moment come , we will get alot profits.

altseason can come at any time, and now it's altseason,
yes even though it's only a few plants, if I may give advice,
it's better to sell your plants in a crowded place

I agree that Bitcoin's quite drastic increase in price this year could be a sign that an altseason is coming soon. What is clear is that
in 2020 there is no altseason yet, some altcoins have indeed moved up. But the price increase is not as high as when the altseason
happened in 2017. It seems that it still takes time for the altseason to occur, based on my analysis the possibility of an altseason
occurring in 2021. So from now on, collect altcoins that have good potential, so when the altseason comes we can get big profits.

Altcoins this year were surprised by the movement of bitcoin that was out of the ordinary so they could not prepare properly, but altcoins are now able to follow the rhythm of bitcoin again, even though it's a bit late. I may agree that maybe next year is all tokens will get the best portion, we are waiting for that to happen as predicted.
but not for emerging altcoins it doesn't seem like they can keep up with the beat and most new altcoins are scams.

I think the altseason was almost to happen because bitcoin was increasing but in slowly. If bitcoin increasing so fast and reach ATH then maybe we can see the altseason this year but now seems it is impossible to happen. Right now bitcoin is slowly went down and also the altcoins. Well let's hope that in the next year the altseason will occur so let's see.

Why is 2022 not 2021? The altcoin season is usually later than the bitcoin season but it is usually not too long, more than 1 year is very long.

It's short, even bitcoin is short, last time I remember the bitcoin season was just over 2 months and that time it reached a new ATH while altcoins follow in a short period of time but with a bigger increase compared to bitcoin, unfortunately the correction was almost 2 years and it really did affected the price of altcoins in general as most of the altcoins are even worthless already after it reach an ATH during the 2017 and 2018 altcoin season.

In my opinion, the decreasing domination of Bitcoin will certainly make the altcoin season happen soon, because basically if the domination of bitcoin decreases it will certainly make altcoins perform better than Bitcoin and for example in 2018 when bitcoin experienced a quite drastic price decline and vice versa altcoins slowly started experiencing price increases and one of the causes was the decline in bitcoin dominance at that time so that investors and traders began to shift their assets to altcoin trading and of course this had an impact on the pump price of some altcoins.

You cant tell that it would happen most of the time when bitcoin dominance is dipping doesnt mean that alts would really be definitely increase its price.
Lots of instances on where bitcoins price and on alts didnt really had some significant correlation where it means that bitcoin price goes down doesnt mean
alt price is on rise, most of the time it do go in both ways or something in between like in moving sideways this is why its really hard to make out some
analysis when you do depend on trend shifts between both markets.So this wont really be a precise indication.

I think what we can all agree on is that whether or not it is predictable and/or correlates with bitcoin, it will make for a very interesting time if/when they do start moving. I for one cannot wait, not only for the profits but because I believe this will be when the real-world use-case projects will garner enough attention to start making a change to industries.

If Bitcoin is able to reach a new all time high in early 2021,
then I still believe the altcoin season will be in 2021, but if not,
maybe the altcoin season will still be delayed again, just hold on to the altcoins you have.

2020 is not an altcoin season, but DeFi season, yup, many DeFi tokens have increased to 5x or even 10x,
like YFI which has experienced a tremendous increase, and made the mini altcoin season come,
but everything is still not perfect if the altcoin season hasn't arrived.

The growth has taken place good with altcoins following the growth of bitcoin. The growth isn't high as that of bitcoin, but there is rise in the market of altcoins. Probably we can experience a better and bigger growth during 2021 as more special occasions are scheduled for top altcoins of the market.

The market is all about the adoption and real-time usage, and with altcoins this isn't followed. Because, most of the volume is through trading. Maybe the rise in the real-time usage will help with the stabilized growth of altcoins.

No this is not bubble like 2017. Maybe bitcoin price is little bit higher but the situation is ok for bitcoin. As you see that if goes down fast,it recovering speed also fast. But this season is not alt season. Though altcoins price also growing but the growth is not too fast. I think btc price should be at this price for 2020.

2017 is not yet for 2020
2018 is around on 2022
We're just at the start of the bull run and this will likely give more investors expectation and hope that there will be a higher price for bitcoin to be reached by next year. Fear the thought of everyone being greedy but it's always that bitcoin wins in the end.
We have higher lows now and we're done passing that many times.

Yes it is alt season but only worthy project will shine!
Research https://peanut.trade/ and make sure to accumulate some $NUX on upcoming token sale on 23th of December. Project gives an opportunity to liquidity providers to get additional revenue while doing common things on Uniswap.

Let's focus at the moment, altcoins are already pumping but not the kind of pump we are expecting.
If we look at 2017 or 2018, altcoins pumped more than 100% but now we are not seeing that yet, and this is good for the market as it will not result to a sudden dump, what I'm afraid of is seeing bitcoin going to roof as if it will fall due to correction, it could be a huge fall.

the increase in bitcoin prices will certainly greatly affect the price of altcoins and if the dominance of bitcoin in the market is not too big of course this could be the beginning of an altcoin session, but if the market continues to be dominated by bitcoin, of course this could be a nightmare for altcoins this season, but even so at least now we can enjoy the positive trends that occur in the market, especially bitcoin which continues to soar in price.

Not most but only few of the altcoins are increasing. It is because it is not yet their time and not yet altcoin season.
But everyone hopes that it will come and just accept that this year, it is the least that alts can give. Litecoin is soaring and its halving before isn't getting attention because nothing happened until its soaring today.

Yes, there is a pattern after every halving. But overall, the price is rising not because of the halving but because of the money printing of the central banks and the loss of confidence in fiat currencies. Many altcoins performed much better than Bitcoin in 2020, so that you cannot necessarily establish a connection between the Bitcoin increase and Altcoins.

Its bitcoin time, altcoins are moving up slowly yet surely.
I think after this bitcoin pump, altcoins will follow. GRT is a good coin to invest right now. But it is also a risk coin for noob traders since it might goes down anytime.

In the event that your altcoin isn't giving any indications of development, sell them for Bitcoin. Bitcoin will make another ATH soon and it may run over the altcoins on its way. I have my considerations that the following season for altcoins will be one year from now when bitcoin moves to its untouched exorbitant cost.

The leveling and stabilization of bitcoin will undoubtedly lead to the growth of altcoins. I believe that all this will happen by the spring of 2021.

It is not a good idea to HODL altcoins for the next alt season, the alt season can delay up to 5 years. Instead of investing in altcoins, selling the alts, and buying more BTC will boost the p/l. Smart traders analyze the markets and they go for the best possible choice rather than complaining about the missed trains/trends. Buying the high-rank altcoins and investing in the top cryptocurrencies can look like smart trading ideas but the real world is not as same as you think. Being smart and applying what you think are two different things.

this year is not altcoin season, this year bitcoin season, bitcoin dominance is at 67%,
and of course the price of Bitcoin has reached new ath, and altcoin season is really in sight,
patience will pay off, don't give up!.

Many people think that if bitcoin has reached ATH then the alt season is just a matter of time to happen, but they forget that altcoins are currently only a pump and dump place, which means that it will be difficult for altcoins to get a strong foothold so they can dash to get close to what has been achieved bitcoin.

No, as I have noticed bitcoin is unpredictable these days, and that there is a wide exchange that happens. However, for altcoins they had to their season, it relies upon their promoting system or improvement that can pull in the financial specialists like the eth network. Individuals had been contributing eth realizing that they could appreciate more their organization as a quick and solid altcoin. All things considered, there could be more altcoin that could venture up and everything relies upon an advertising group.

true, because altcoins are shocked by the movements that occur very quickly by bitcoin in the past few months until recently. Altcoins do not expect that bitcoin is capable of moving fast and increasing sharply, while altcoins cannot keep up with these movements. Bitcoin in a day is capable of just moving up or down, and it's hard to predict.
The bitcoin ATH has changed several times and none of the altcoins have reached it.
Altcoins will reach their latest ATH after next year if it is predicted that bitcoin will increase rapidly.

Altcoin season ?what do you think of market now ?weak like 2018? Real investors are here now so expect nothing like that.

Investors now will Buy coins because they believe this is worth having and not because this will have higher price before dumping.

Investors now knows the use of coins and not just for Trading purposes,so if your coins is worth a buy then it will grow, and not like 2018 that obviously only Big traders bags money.so move on ,this is a Legit market now and Manipulators will lose their momentum  in the next days.

The altcoins season last 2018 has been the standard already, people wants to experience the same so they are expecting it to happen, but it looks like it's not easy to be in that situation again as bitcoin has been dominating this year, the dominant rate is very stable, altcoins can't grow with that.

If we are seeing ETH and other major altcoins growing, yeah, we should be happy but if we  our standard is based on 2018 January, then it should not pass because major altcoins does not have the same kind or movement like in the past.

Don't hold your breath for altcoins. There's a lot o FUD going on coming from big social media influencers saying that Bitcoin dominance will go to 80% and alts will go to 0 when SEC sues other projects the same way they did to XRP.

I think this FUD is what is holding altcoins back and making people buy only BTC. But it won't last forever that's for sure!

SEC sued XRP because the owners/founders did shaddy actions. So it is justified in my opinion. However, many Altcoins are different from XRP and will therefore not be prosecuted by the SEC. Litecoin, for example, is basically a Bitcoin clone. In principle, you are currently spreading FUD yourself.

It is not a FUD that bitcoin might go with an 80% dominance. But it's also possible that it won't. If SEC sees the same reason for other projects that made them sue Ripple, they will do really the same thing to those projects.
Those people that are involved with that project have to face the same sued made by them.

Hopefully everything will be alright with trusted coins, and fix those circumstances that's been raging against them. Bitcoin is really dominating right now, we can't force people actually but if given chances we will see altcoins soars back but not in a faster span of time. Let's be patient and trust our instincts because future will be surprising.

I'm starting to see signs of alts wanting to move. Bitcoin is just such a powerhouse at the min. It seems inevitable that 2021 will be the year of the quality project. Shame I didn't have this foresight with naming this thread!

Alts season many people have been talking about isn't a threat to Bitcoin dominance of the crypto market. If this time is regarded as the alt season with Bitcoin still recording the highest percentage in the price increase and market dominance. I doubt there would be another time that would be better than this for the altcoins.

It is always not a threat, it will also make bitcoin bullish because there's no way bitcoin will dump during the altcoins season, maybe the dominance of bitcoin will be reduce a bit, but bitcoin will continue to rise, that's what I saw in the past, I think we will still head to the same scenario if altcoins season will happen.

The altcoin season is yet to come for 2020, but take it easy there is still hope to see it in 2021,
yes, because bitcoin is already at the price of $ 28k, of course this will be a good moment for altcoins to rise high,
it's just that we have to hold and don't sell it at the current price

indeed it is not altcoin season, throughout 2020 hanay hype from DeFi and bullish or Bitcoin season,
actually altcoins are still very cheap and make people think that this is not altcoin season,
yes even though there are some altcoins that reach new ath but still can't say this altcoin season.

Be patient if you're into most altcoins. But if your asset is mostly in bitcoin, enjoy and keep rocking with its soar. People are expecting the altcoin season so quick because that's just what happened in 2017.
We can try to analyze it when 2021 comes and if this bullish will stop for bitcoin then, the possibility for the altcoins to come might be there. But as long as it's there for bitcoin, the bulls, don't expect it yet.

Definitely when bitcoin stabilizes and its dominance goes down a little bit we are going to witness the best altseason in years.
The bitcoin money will flow elsewhere to try and keep the pump going after breaking ATH.
Just don't forget to sell this time like me in 2017.

stability only occurs with bitcoin and other top coins usually when the top coin is stable in the market altcoin will follow pump as happened in 2017
just hope for this time when the top coin is stable altcoins can go up high

It feels like its coming. ALTS starting to follow. Look at VET etc. I'm optimistic for 2021

The right time for the altcoins will come for sure we are in the first week of the 2021 and I see some good improvement to the most of the altcoins now and also bitcoin is still pumping the value. The value of the altcoins I believe it will pump soon because altcoins season is this year and many crypto user are really think and believe about that which is really possible to happen.

2020 is over, there's no altcoins season that year, so we would move this year and hopefully it will come.

Ethereum broke $1,000 already, it could be a good start but we are not yet there.
If bitcoin will dump, things are not clear because eventually ETH will follow.

I have a feeling that bitcoin will not stand its bullish trend, and it will do a correction anytime soon.

It looks like alt season may be 2021. The parallels between 2016 to 2020 seem very similar. And now 2021 seems to be acting like 2017. I mean we 2x the BTC all time high already. By summer we may be well over $100K BTC

Altcoins season can happen this year 2021 as Bitcoin has risen so high in the past month Altcoins need time to catch up with Bitcoin's bullish trend. I think about 2 months from now will be the official season of Altcoins.

Much more it look like in 2022.
That's right, this year is like 2017, and 2022 will be looking like 2018. And in 2018, as we remember, that was the year when the altcoin season came. But before looking to that altcoin season, we're hoping to see bitcoin manages to get $100k first.

unfortunately 2020 has passed, and 2020 is not the altcoin season, but the Defi season, yes we all watching a lot of Defi tokens that went up to 100% even 1000%, of course this makes Defi even more popular, I hope this year altcoin prices are really bullish and altcoin season is coming in 2021.

There will be a different from 2017 altcoins season to a possible next altcoins season as the run would be good only for the major coins which has a good volume. those coins that have not survive anymore, they'll vanish and probably the teams are now creating a new project riding with the hype of De Fi or IEO.

the thing is " Are there really a  Altcoin Season '? is this really coming or just another BS expectation?
We saw that in 2018 before the so called "Altcoin Season" happens , Bitcoin starts to fall Late December and continues up to 2018 ,
But we are seeing different condition now as Bitcoin stays strong at more than 30,000 Dollar value.
So for me this will really hard to expect , Better to just Look at individual coin than to expect the whole coming.
And also Bitcoin is not Yet over so if ever that altcoin will grow together ? this is not happening sooner.

I think history wouldn't repeat itself this time. The price of Bitcoin has pumped more than what we expect so I guess it will still take a long run before the alt season but that could still possibly happen this year. I also believe that alt season would only be best for top coins so buying at this time would be a good decision.

Bitcoin has already pumped 100% of its previous ATH, last 2017 to be specific, and there's no altcoins season happen, therefore I don't expect it will rise as soon bitcoin will eventually had its correction.

bitcoin was fantastic and strong last year with the movement and reaching renewable ATH, so last year there was really no time available for altcoins to reach its ATH due to the very fast movement of bitcoin which is very difficult to follow. ethereum, which has been synonymous with what happened to bitcoin, cannot keep up with bitcoin. currently bitcoin is in a stable state this is what should be taken for altcoins to move and can reach its ATH and I'm sure 2020 is not there for altcoins but 2021 is altcoin time.

investing more on eth will only help eth grow not the rest of the alts .

 tell those eth investors to scatter their funds sometimes because that is the only key to wake the altcoin season and also tell them to do the same in btc because i think that there are still many people that cant stop putting money in btc .

we can see the effect if we look in the btc price .

again ? i saw many forecast and those mostly come from the greatest personalities but why will someone believe this forecast if this is weaker than the other ones .

Altcoins seem to be stuck with the rhetoric of the phenomenal increase of bitcoin which every day can change both up and down by an incredible difference. It seems that altcoins are not given to develop with bitcoin, ethereum alone, which usually sticks with bitcoin, also cannot reach its maximum.
we hope that maybe this year is the time for altcoins to increase waiting for bitcoin to be in a stable position.

In my opinion, bitcoin price stability is of course very necessary, to be able to develop altcoin price increases' is difficult to predict, of course the ups and downs of bitcoin prices are due to a very significant increase, and for example we want to buy altcoins now of course there is nothing wrong with that, because according to My current up and down movement of bitcoin prices is a natural thing, and don't be late to buy altcoins for our investment, because the price may suddenly go up to is higher than the current price.

although currently the price of some altcoins continues to increase but this does not show any signs that altcoin season will arrive, because what is happening now is that bitcoin season is more dominant so that altcoins will be a little difficult to reach altcoin season and in my personal opinion altcoin season will happen if bitcoin dominance decreases so that altcoin will perform better and could experience an increase in price even though it is not as significant as bitcoin later.

There's still no sign of switch up for bitcoin market to altcoin market but there would be a day on where it will surely happen but no one can predict on when it would happen.

Altseason might or might not to come because it all matters with the demand itself and basing off with dominance then its clear that majority is focusing now in BTC.

For those who can able to put risk into their investment and diving into altcoin thing then its up to their choice but don't anticipate nor hope that much that
there something will happen but if it does then that will surely give a nice profits for you.

that because a lot of big investors come to bitcoin now, and maybe they don't know yet about altcoins
but for sure, in this year we will see a green colour in most of good altcoins project, wich indicating if altseason show up my friend

You make a good point, I don't think it's only that the big companies don'tknow about alts. I think it's more that they don't know enough about the smaller projects and how they can bring great change. I think a lot of this will come with projects proving themselves with products.
