Is #AltSzn still possible?
As what happened on some major huge marketcap altcoins are being hammered these past few days, just like what happened on Ripple about SEC issue and som privacy coins being delisted on some exchanges.
I am worried about what some people are waiting for a long time, the alt season, where we can see a huge price action or pump for some altcoins, huge marketcap or small.
What's your thoughts on alt season? Do history repeat itself?

I think alts keep getting hammered by bad news. Ripple had the SEC, Privacy coins have exchange delistings etc. For now I don't think alts will gain on BTC.

It just a couple of coins though, we still have a bunch of altcoin in the top 10 can can really move in this bull, at least touching their old all time high will be good enough for me.

Bitcoin is still dominating at this point, so the bull run for altcoins might not happen similar to 2017. But in any case it will still be a good year for altcoin, I'm pretty sure everyone is well aware of what altcoins in the top are really good for investing this year.

why not, altcoin season is still possible. despite yesterday's bad news, all altcoins are still rallying. see the market is still green, this gives more hope. forget the XRP case, and you'll see a much better market. the only barrier at the moment is bitcoin dominance. if my bitcoin dominance drops below 60%, it might be easier.

I think everything will be repeated and of course it's not quite what it has happened in the past. Everyone is waiting for the altcoin seasion and last time can see that the market is in an uptrend. I think it's just a matter of time for us to sit down to discuss what we've been through.

Even prior to the SEC lawsuit against XRP, altcoins have been enjoying a sort of mini bull run, specially with the whole Defi that burst out of the scene and took off. The problem with alts though is that still prone to pump and dump scheme so majority of them are still lagging behind. There was even months when they are bleeding while Bitcoin continues to grow.

If there will be alt season, Ethereum will be the one to lead them, although it has seen prices never been touch since 2018, it needs to go and hit and set a new all time high first before other alts follow.

If Bitcoin performs the same way like it did last month, this month too then I do not think the altcoin season will start.

Few negative news now days does not affect the market. There are other major alts that will dominate when alt season will start.
The current scenario of the market is very different to what it was in 2018 hence, we need to wait some more time for the altseason to start.

I am personally still optimistic that there will be an altseason in the near future, because what has happened now reflects past events even with different problems, because as it has been, the greater the pressure to stop bitcoin or altcoin, the greater impetus to rise. , which could be a sign that an altseason is coming.

Bitcoin still dominance and look little problem for altcoin season during bitcoin have more than 70% dominance in exchange market, I know why investor still choose with bitcoin because last two months bitcoin keep going on to higher price and break close with $30k, still going on dominance for bitcoin I think few months later and waiting when bitcoin have been stable price this time for altcoin season back to higher price again and hope bitcoin never going down drastically.

It's a sad reality that there would be no altcoin season. Altcoins have their own value and they are falling and rising on comparison to each other but the market has been much independent from bitcoin's price. Last time, the bull run in bitcoin led to rise in price of alts because all of them were paired to bitcoin but now, stable coin has emerged as the largest pair making the price movement independent for each coin.

Bad news is always there but we do not to be affected to them because we know the capability of the coins that we have and I really believe that this year will become the season for the altcoins last year is the year for the bitcoin but it much better to both bitcoin and altcoins will increase together so we can get more profit this year and I hope when altcoins rise bitcoin will not decrease.

Actually those were bad news both for XRP holders and those privacy coins holders as well, but I noticed that, the news didn't have much effect on the market as some top coins were still in a good position, rather I think the coins getting hammered are other small altcoins. Going back to the question asked, I still think that, there won't be anything like altcoins season until Bitcoin dominance drops, the more it drops the better for many altcoins as it will give them enough opportunity to grow. Furthermore, with Bitcoin trying to cross $30k shows a lot of Investors attention are still on it, thus meaning altcoin season is far from happening but that doesn't go without noticing the growth of top altcoins since this Bitcoin rally started thus making me to have that mindset that, we might not be seeing a huge altcoin season as we keeps anticipating.

Yes, alt season still possible and I hope in this year (2021) we will get it. top rated coin already pumped a lot, when Bitcoin price will be stable, People will invest their money at altcoin. I am holding a few altcoins for the long term. I hope when altcoin will come I will be the gainer. Before making an investment try to do a lot of research. For SEC, XRP coin dumped a lot. so why don't forget to use a stop loss at any coin.

Nobody can exactly predict whether history repeats or not probably once BTC starts consolidating we can expect a rise in Altcoins. Due to SEC charges against ripple, it is losing its value. For long-term holding, I believe in 2 coins that is BTC and Ethereum only. I am positive about altcoins in the coming days.

Even after XRP news about SEC haven't you guys noticed that XRP is still surging till now? It's recovering fast people, this is not enough to stop altcoin season from happening even if XRP goes down from here, dominance is high right now, I don't think altcoins can surge while bitcoin dominance is still very high

Altcoin season will be possible to happen. But we don't know when it will happen, and we only guess the time in Q1 or the next month in this year. Perhaps Ripple will not get another increase before the developer, and the team can solve the problem. But we still have many other altcoins which can have the possibility to increase. The history may be repeating itself because with the other altcoins that still traded on the exchanges, and it can give the altcoin a chance to increase.

I think alt season might be delayed, looking at the current BTC bull run and its trends. And with the news of the delisting of some major coins, it is quite possible that investors might lose faith in alts for a while. This year we might see a different alt trend.

Altcoin season can only be delayed if Bitcoin still remains bullish, another thing to worry about is bitcoin dominance, I'm guessing things will change before first quarter runs out hopefully, if Bitcoin still have some power left all we have to do is wait, higher bitcoin goes the better for altcoin

Of course it's possible we are still on the Bitcoin season and I think the follow up of the altcoins is when the Bitcoin will be on stable state or maybe when the Bitcoin price will crash, we are all hoping for it I already bought some Ethereum.

I think that this year there will be alt season, but before the alt season, of course, there should be a big dump and then the alt season will already begin, so at the moment I am waiting for the cryptocurrency market correction to begin so that after the correction I could invest in various altcoins.

It's pretty sad to hear bad news from XRP, but I don't think it will affect the prices of other altcoins. however, it is different if ETH is in the XRP position.
other than that, I'm still pretty sure that altcoin season will really arrive. Currently, bitcoin price is still rising and altcoin price can't keep up with that. however, if the price of bitcoin has stabilized, I think that one by one the altcoins will go up a lot.

i still believe if altseason will come in this year my friend,,
but, maybe we need more patience, because the rally on bitcoin will make a lot of people move their money from altcoins to bitcoin buddy

I still believe Altsesaon can repeat itself in 2021 but it may be different and not like the history that happened in 2018. But the beginning of the year has just started and we all wish the best especially for top coin holders who are looking forward to the Altcoin Market coming as soon as possible.

The altcoins are still here and fighting to stay relevant. Litecoin and Ethereum is still being invested and traded upon so I do not see why it is not possible for some Alts - not all ok - would be influenced and be able to increase their value. As long as there's people who continue to invest and trade in the alts then there is nothing to worry about these coins not going to the top. A little patience and we will get there.

Sorry, there are no words in vain let alone waiting as long as you hold the top coins in the cryptocurrency market. unless you are holding bad altcoins or coins that are not growing at all then you should consider them before it's too late.

It is obvious that we sort of had the "alt season" and it is sad that people don't see it, that is the problem. rahmathidayat93 may not consider the thing we had in 2020 as an "alt season" but you are right, if we hold the right coins we always make a decent return. Ethereum started the year at 130 dollars or so, ended with 700+ dollars, got nearly a 6x return, how is that not really an alt season for anyone?

If you get 6x return on something in just one year, you have to consider that a bullish run. That happened to many other coins as well, maybe not to XRP or few others but it just means they were the bad ones, so it means if you owned the good ones, you would definitely make a profit. I don't get what people are expecting, you want to get alts 100x? Because that would rarely happen, getting anything over 5x is a huge bull run that is rare and awesome to me.

Yes, ALT season is possible but it will take time.
Not now, because bitcoin is pumping very hard and it after it crash we can see pump in ALT according to my knowledge.

I think that the alt season is somehow started to mostly several altcoins in the market but not for xrp because it has a lawsuit that it is fighting right now but I believe that it will also have its bullish run this year once that the case against SEC is clear.

It is certainly still possible, once Bitcoin price reached the end of the current pump and starts to correct downwards longterm.
I have a feeling Bitcoin price is getting close to that, only a matter of time :

Always remember, with every pump comes a dump. The larger the pump, the larger the dump.
You can check that with Dogecoin : https://cryptowat.ch/charts/BINANCE:DOGE-USDT

[/quote] History might repeat itself. But this time it will be uncertain as to when alts season will start, either at the beginning of the year or at year end. One thing i'm sure is that definitely, the topmost altcoins will only be pumping and the rest of the altcoins will remain undervalued until they end up as dead coins. So be careful as to what altcoins would you prefer to buy and hold.

Bitcoin is still dominating ?? It will always dominate other coins no matter what! It's clear case of high priced market cap of bitcoin that's keeping it ahead of all. This is not going to change ever because bitcoin has already gained that much of the popularity and user base. Moreover, there are big institutional investors who are now backbone of the bitcoin itself.

Have you ever heard that there are institutional investors who are backing any altcoin? Mostly NO, and thats why they are risks and could get delisted anytime.

I believe bitcoin would be dominance all the time.

Some of the bad news that has hit Ripple, has had an indirect impact on all the other altcoins.  There are so many altcoins on the market but investors are starting to have doubts over them because of the bad news for Ripple.  Investors will be very careful choosing altcoins so as not to experience a similar case in Ripple, currently the decline in some altcoins has a reason, but when BTC is at its maximum.  There is still a chance that the altcoin season will come because it is an alternative for investors in cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin one more reach again above $33k and how long bitcoin reach above $40k? absolutely good news when bitcoin have raise to higher price and make popularity of cryptocurrency but if bitcoin more dominance we loss chance to see altcoin back to higher price. Almost one month ago bitcoin keep reach higher price but altcoin still going down and look slowly for raise to higher price, just few bigger coin success raise to higher price but need long time. Now waiting when bitcoin stop for raise up and give chance for altcoin back to higher price again and make altcoin holder looks happy.

Most of alts are all green right now and up out 10% above, it's right to say that this day is the altcoin season I mean just last year ETH was valued at $350 and now it's whooping $800. This time around is quite good actually, usually when BTC rise this much the alts gets crushed but as you see the alts instead making their own momentum. Its just people don't see it because the price rising is steady not as fancy as it was in 2017

The altcoins are still facing sluggishness due to the investor's awareness of the cryptocurrency after the super bull year of 2017. In 2017 the coins which are even no supportive or actual project behind the particular coin had seen growth because of heavy speculation in the market. Later, while these coins are down drastically and even become useless and also kicked out of the various markets then the investors are now investing cautiously. So, they are trading and investing only some of the selective coin thus it is not sure about the altcoins that will go up drastically and all depend on their actual project growth ness.

As long as the bullish rise in the price of Bitcoin continues, its dominance will grow. However, this process is cyclical. The time will come when the rise in the price of bitcoin stops and then the capital will flow from bitcoins to altcoins. We just need to wait for this period. Altcoin season is sure to come.

I personally feel that alt season right now is delayed by the fact that Bitcoin is having one of the most fabulous run in the history triggered by institutional adoption. We will still see altcoin season where good /usable altcoins will see a good run.

seeing the current price movement of bitcoin is still significantly rising above $ 32k and several large altcoins are starting to follow the trend of rising bitcoin itself. but my prediction is that if bitcoin experiences a correction after its recent rise then money will likely flow into altcoins. We all hope that altcoin season is coming to the start of this good year.

yes I think Altcoins Seasons is still possible, even many people have predicted it will happen in early 2021, maybe the scenario is different from the previous altcoin season (2017).
I think there will soon be a huge increase in the popularity of altcoins. Many people are now afraid to get in or have even declared altcoins dead.

It depends and it’s hard to predict. Only Ethereum and a few handful are standing out from the rest of the altcoins out there in terms of long-term gains. Although I can say that it’s possible, but we don’t know when it will happen. One big reason why Bitcoin is the only coin that has major gains is because of the large institutions who only recognize them to be solid and not altcoins.

Altcoins are on a huge rise last 2017 because of the ICO hype and the market isn’t matured that time. Right now, I believe that the cryptocurrency market has gone matured and lesser chance that it would repeat like what happened in 2018.

I think alt season that is possible, actually, it already comes now, you only have to look at he crypto market, and you will know, that is full of green.But i think this alt season would a little different from 2017, it just a season for part of the altcoins.

I am not sure what you mean by alt season but yeah I do believe that there are some altcoins which have a good potential and are quite undervalued right now.
Few of them are ether, monero, cardano etc... Alt season does not mean every altcoin will boom but yeah there are potential coins which might increase in price soon.
Bitcoin bull run is going at a good speed and I believe there is a correction ahead and when that happens I think many people jump into these potential altcoins.

although now it seems that the altcoin season is still not in sight, there are some altcoins that do have good enough potential to be held and traded like now eth which continues to experience price increases along with the rising price of btc, and it looks like Doge can also be used as an alternative short-term trading now this is because in recent days Doge continues to experience price rallies in the market and in my opinion the impact of Elon Musk's tweet is still happening on the current price movement of Doge.

I think ethereum and some of the other altcoins that are in the top ranking are still pretty good choices to hold on to for some time to come, and it looks like eth has more potential to experience quite high price increases and now alone eth has even risen almost 25% in 24 hours and will most likely be able to break its ATH in the near future.

If altcoin season isn't possible only bitcoin will be surging right now, Ethereum is a good altcoin to watch to atleast know of altcoin season will happen or not, hours ago Ethereum was trading at 770$ and now it's over 900$, still doubting altcoin season? Let's wait for more days, I believe it's definitely going to happen

Altcoin season has already begun! But there is no understanding how long it will last one thing is for sure that if you wait too long, you may not catch the departing train.

oh of course it's possible, BItcoin can of course repeat its history at an all time high of $ 20200,
it can even reach a new all time high of $ 34k, of course Altcoin can also repeat history in 2018, it's just that it takes time,
because according to analysis, the price of altcoin depending on the BTC pair, and the current BTC pair is still experiencing strong bearish,
let's just wait until everyone turns to altcoins, and the altcoin season will come to us.

Everything is possible in the cryptocurrency market and altcoin season is possible. However, no one can be sure of when it will happen. It is possible that the altcoin season will happen tomorrow or at the end of 2021.

altcoin season is still very possible, I am sure it will be shaky again, just waiting for the price of bitcoin to stabilize. then altcoin season will happen, so now get ready to buy some altcoins and hold it for a few days.  it will benefit you.  choose a good altcoin and have a great chance to go up.  for example ETH, YFI.

I don't think the BTC price will stabilize soon, another huge drop is on the corner waiting for the right time. Maybe in a few months, the ETH will hit $2400 and the altcoins will follow the trend, the last alt season was 2 years ago. Buying the right altcoin is the key to finding a profitable investment during alt season, other options are not going to be as profitable as expected.

It will not happen yet as long as BTC price is increasing, unlike in 2017 that altcoins also increase in price and make their way to also have some pump things changed when there are records of too many scam exist as well ICO projects changing their goals once listed. BTC is the main goal of new investors now and by top companies but maybe those top altcoins son will have their own time.

I think altcoin season is gradually happening now. I just thought Doge has been going up for days. Maybe the last altcoin you will even think that will actually go up might just surprise everyone. The Populous token which I thought will still be buried is up for more than 35%, this project used to be more than $50 back in the days but it's now starting to jump. I believe this one did an ICO as well.

I believe the alt season will happen this year, although there are some obstacles such as the Bitcoin price which continues to rise and there are
also several popular altcoins being delisted on some exchanges. Because I believe history will always repeat itself. Therefore, the most important
thing is to start collecting little by little altcoins which do have good potential. So when alt seasons occur we just have to enjoy the profit.

the dominance of bitcoin is breakdown, and this is good for altcoins, it looks like altcoins in the top 10 have increased,
Bitcoin cash, Ethereum, Cardano have pumped more than 11%, maybe this is the start of the altcoin season so altcoin holding is a good thing

It is still possible to have an alt season.  Every time Bitcoin dominance settle down, the altcoin comes surging so it is possible once the Bitcoin market stops surging and the attention of investors goes to the altcoin market.

Bitcoin, altcoin season index (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5305389.0)

I don't mind much on the algorithms are used to build up the visual chart (but you can dig if you have interests in algorithms). The chart displays that altcoins (with altcoin index) are trying to warm up and the index is almost reaching 25 points. After the break out through 25 points, the next area from 26 to 50 points will be interesting as it will trigger altcoin rises. The hot area above 75 points will be for FOMO with altcoins.

If you have love with altcoins, it is the time for you to grasp them more, accumulate more, and wait for warming up and profit running time ahead.

It will take some time but the very best is yet coming for the Altcoins since the price of BTC is skyrocket right now. I know those who currently hold some BTC will someday convert their BTC to Altcoins when its price will stop to rise and that will the time when the price of some altcoins will rise as well. the only problem is, we don't know which altcoin they will choose to convert their BTC but as you can see, it has happened before and it will gonna happen again soon. as soon as that condition will be met.
