Bitcoin Forum

In the past week, the rate of most of popular altcoins to bitcoin has significantly increased. Has Altcoin Season Arrived?

Ethereum: 16.7%
XRP: 20.6%
Bitcoin Cash: 6.2%
Litecoin: 10.0%
EOS: 7.8%
Stellar: 37.4%
Monero: 8.5%
TRON: 14.0%
Dash: 17.1%
NEO: 13.9%
Zcash: 16.5%
Dogecoin: 10.3%

Correct hope before end of this year altcoins become stable special ethereum goes uprise again and start to recover their value at the market cap. I expert once of this days altcoin not listed from the top 10 are also arrive to increase their price. Good luck to all altcoins holders.

It has not yet arrived but this can be considered as a sign to the bulltrend of altcoin. It's only on its price but the volume of those altcoins are increasing too.
So far with the increase of the price and volume means bulltrend for altcoin but we must still waiting for the result how long this trend will be going on.
it's too early to say about that.

Based on the movement. I would agree that it is already starting it just that I want ot know if this is just a bulltrap or maybe a real bull run already. So does anyone knows how to really see it? I guess no one can answer that unless we see that it is already moving. Hopefully, low market coins will also surge as new coins should be in action as well.

I think will need more time until we can approve or decide it is altcoin season. Short pump can't be categorized to be bull run or maybe something like altcoin season. Maybe need up and stable for a certain time, so we can decide it is bull run or not. At least that is what i learn from this forum.

This will be a good start for the whole of Altcoin, The average volume of Altcoin has jumped since the past week, the low market coin should be able to keep up with the movement. But as you said it is still too early to mention this, but I have a feeling that this will be the beginning of the Altcoin pump.
By the way XRP has increased quite well huh, hopefully it will survive and continue to grow.

The perfect altcoin season hasn't arrived yet. The perfect altcoin season in my view is when the dominance of altcoins were found above 30% and the market price of ethereum to be strong above $600 with good resistance for a forward push than decline. We will experience this soon, and what we see with the altcoins might be the beginning for the big change.

Almost every altcoin have grown high, and further today there is decline in the value. This pattern of growth will continue until there is strong support level for altcoins. Maybe this will happen when the market cap crosses $300 billion.

I wouldn't really identify what's happening now as an altseason yet, though it's good to see ETH making its own moves. ETH is getting over BTC in transaction fees which can benefit other coins, we might see ETH reaching $500 anytime now. Existing companies should now look into blockchain and develop their own coin, we need more of them with good use cases.

Not true, it was inly yesterday we had seen a good move from altcoin, specially I iked how ETH moved. Well, it's a pre-bull run or preparation of bull run. I am confident that alt will gain at least 50% of the price of the ATH by this year.

Almost all coins went down now and went along the BTC drop but I'm confident that we can hold this off. I'm even surprised that it stayed at $200 and not go around $180. And correct, there are companies getting into the crypto scene, like a telecom company (https://cointelegraph.com/news/major-south-korean-mobile-carrier-launches-blockchain-project?utm_source=lx) which utilizes blockchain to make conversations efficient rather than relying on their carrier. There are a lot of hidden gems out there, it's just a matter of them get funding and work on their coin.

Suddenly last night market starts to fall again and look at the altcoins it’s been a red market again.

Though slowly the bitcoin capitalization is decreasing and alts are going good comparably..so let’s wait for the 4rth quarter maybe things will change in favor of ranked alts again

I don't know if this time the altcoin season arrived since there is no sign or clue to us to know what is the real situations. But for what I saw in the market, the altcoin has increased, and many of them are trying to break the highest price. Some of them already break the highest price before, and although now the price is back to the lower price, I guess that we will see another moment from the price reaches another highest price.

I still waiting for the altcoin pass my buy price so I can try to sell some amount of the altcoin I have. If I can do that, I am sure that I can slowly recover my losses before and I can make a profit again like before. But I realize that the altcoin has a hard time to break higher price, especially bitcoin price now is down again and touch $9k level.

We could hope that the down of bitcoin price will not impact to the altcoin so the altcoin can go to the higher price and give us the profit. Lets see and wait for what will happen later.

Not yet. That was just because people bored to trade bitcoin, they are changing to trade altcoin instead until bitcoin gained some good news again. Look at altcoin price now, those coins which already reached the peak starting to drop again

You have to really stop jinxing the altcoin market;) Every time ETH does a 10% people go crazy, and they somehow managed to not push price down until $330. And then see what happened from there, almost 50% losses.

Let's just stick to the market, let Bitpay do their thing and let ETH do its thing, and then we can silently enjoy altcoin rise;)

Most altcoins lost 95% since their ATHs and now that they are were in green, people are fantasizing about the beginn of a new altseason? Just wait and see if the trend continues or if it was just a very short price spike.

For a couple of days, Bitcoin has not made any big movement. While the alts were, but it does not mean we are going to see the Alt season in the near future. My assumption is, the trader is pushing the altcoin to get a profit and money which will be used to pump Bitcoin later on. IMHO, the flows are moving like this:
Fresh Money > Bitcoin pump > Profit > Bitcoin dump > Stabilize > Altcoin pump > Profit > Altcoin dump 

the state of the altcoin market is a little better. we can see some small pumps and stability happening. but this is not like the big altcoin season, demand is still small, and some altcoins are also still experiencing a decline. this movement needs support from bitcoin requests which must also increase, it will encourage altcoin to also move.

Not convinced yet, If you take a closer look than for example XRP, has gone up to its precious support level and have bounced off it . And currently is up only 15%.  Untill that level breaks I am not convinced in Alt season, in the mean time , stellar and eth is doing very well.

maybe soon, because now the altseason is not started yet my friend
and you write the best altcoin in the market, but when the altseason coming
i believe, a lot of shitcoins will gone from the market  ;)

Of course, this is good for the crypto industry. But that leaving shit takes a lot of money from investors. This is a contradiction that I would not want to have. And so that this would not be strongly demonstrated, I would like the altseason to begin as soon as possible. The recent price increase is definitely not the beginning.

This can be a good indication that chances to see more of these movements will happen and bring a good bounce for the betterment of each traders and investors' invested money. You have to deal with many possibilities, those factors that might affect the movements of each projects that you supported, small pumped like this can't be assess right away that it's already the beginning of the alt season though can be a good basis of placing your position in the right place.

Its too early to say that altcoin season has started but really, find the prices to be a bargain for those who sees there will be an altcoin season. Bought thousands of TRX for myself, this is after all the closest coin I've seen that will hit up. I could dump right now and profit from it but I'm curious if anyone will dump their stash right now because there will be bids willing to buy millions of thousands if the price drops to a cent.

I think you forgot what altcoin season means, it's mean minimum x2-x4 and not just 10-40%. I think its false start for now.

Has Altcoin Season Arrived? Not yet
Are new longterm price uptrends forming ? For some altcoins yes

the real altcoin season will start when the bitcoin dominance goes down to 50%  8)

Currently 67.1%. Its indeed a good indicator, but you will most likely also miss out
on some price action, if you wait till it drops to 50%.

No alt session till btc reaches new ATH

Don't be deceive by the little pump these tokens did,  altcoins season is not yet around the corner,  perhaps early 2020.

As you can see bitcoin dropped by 4% which affects the movement of this altcoins to dump,  it's best to accumulate more cheaper altcoins gradually,  by doing a dollar average cost (DCA) in order not to miss the next altcoins season

I agree, we cannot say that it is an altcoin season when the Bitcoin dominance is increasing.  Funds is moving out of altcoin and pouring to Bitcoin at this point.  I believe the current price increase is a normal fluctuation of cryptocurrency since we see a decline after those price increase.  If the Bitcoin dominance decrease, it only means that the fund is moving to altcoin again and that indicates an altcoin season.

I will say 45% will be a good measuring stick to say that altcoin has indeed bounce back and are into the bull run mode. But so far the market really looks strong, saw Ethereum bounce back and way ahead of the $200 range, but generally the rest is down 2% right now. However, there is no clear sign that altcoin is ready for a recovery, perhaps what we have seen is just a classic manipulation from behind, to look like something in brewing in the altcoin market, but indeed there's none and whales are again trying to squeeze themselves and play the market again.

Not a big pump with altcoins but if ETH continues to lead the altcoins I believe it can go up the whole altcoin market. We still depend on bitcoin, its good to see small pump and we need more of that because bitcoin has a big influence to altcoins market. The big pump with altcoins can still happen on the last quarter of 2019.

Don't think that this hopes will worth nothing, only we need to extend some patience and we might get what we wanted to be. But the problem is if we are just holding those dead coins cause it definitely we have nothing to expect from them.

For us to become secured and not just a hopeless belief is to invest those coins that we can get assurance and leave those shit coins. That's the only way we could survive from the struggles we have now.

It was considered a big pump already. Many of them are pumping in double digits. Ethereum had almost 20% while Stellar had almost 40%. We haven't seen that in weeks. They normally rise by single digits of greens. One thing that we need to see though is consistency. It looks like this is not consistent. Right after the big pump was a big dump. We have seen how the altcoins charts show a similar long diving line immediately after the pump. The good thing was that we have recovered almost as quickly. We'll see how the next movements go.

I hope so.  But i suggest don't expect more if you have an investment on that coins you have mentioned above. Because you know it always suddenly change direction without knowing.  So for now much better to wait for further results, because in fact that's not enough proofs of progress, and also bitcoin still no response , so we need to be patient because that's the coins that can influence alts to increase gradually. .

Has altcoin season arrived? It's a tentative yes from me. We've seen a bit of movement, but we need more to be certain.
I would say everything that we need for alt season is in place. Bitcoin has risen, but now the rise has stopped and it has leveled off. Volumes are high vs historic levels. Alts are very low vs BTC, and BTC dominance is huge. Market confidence is returning, and this bodes well for alts.

Really hard to answer and I think even myself wanted to see when we are right now. Such a bit movement but it's not that sustainable really.

Of course we needed one because we have lost too much already and investors are complaining even some average individuals like me. I do hope that confidence will be back overnight, but that's not the case. Investors are still not sure and very doubtful to pour their money in the market.

It is still too early to confirm this because all the coins in this market are very volatile and it is difficult to identify the next trend of this market. If you focus on tracking other altcoins then you will know which coin is best for the long term because only the top coins can help you make good money during this time. I personally will not invest in the bear market and will wait until everything is really clear in this market

Do not pay attention to this fake increase, I think it is a bull trap, since all these while, ripple has not shown any sign of development, no real volume, so what will then make the price of ripple to suddenly surge that way, and for the other coins, I still don’t know what really made them surge that high.

I am not expecting any bull run for the last quarter of this year, I mean bull run for altcoin, even bitcoin, I am not expecting any bull run, I only see the usually growth that bitcoin has been having since it started its own momentum, altcoins will still go back their low value and till 2020 before I can really see altcoins making any move for bull run, it could happen right after bitcoin halving has started or when bitcoin goes sideways.

Those are some good scenery All green again, Maybe their time is this last quarter.
hoping to see more grow on price with this Altcoins because after the slight bullrun of the bitcoin
they seem to bury on their feet.
their price is not going high as expected but today as we can see
their price is on green light again which will give us some hope to make some investment with these coins.

Glad to see that everyone is happy when you see green in the alt coin market, if a rally arrives the market will be in the green for a few days or week or not for a few hours  :P. I expect the altcoin market to rally only after bitcoin market goes to the moon and then we can expect the altcoin market to move higher and that too only top coins. Even if there is no more rally in the altcoin market i wont be surprised :P.

In terms of should we buy them now, then i am thinking yes. They might not start major bull run right away, but i think that we have seen the bottom or we are at least very near.

Looking at the chart today it seems that the growth of altcoins stays only for couple of days and then goes back to red days again ,but in the market capitalization it looks like there are lot of improvements towards altcoins

So with you asking this?i think we are all hoping for our altcoins to atleast gives us profit even if not bigger than what Bitcoin can give us

That means we need to wait for May of 2020 Halving to reach ATH again?

I really think this is the start of altcoin season since it usually begins with top coins having big market capitalizations, then it moves to those with low caps. ETH, LTC, and a few other altcoins really made my day since I'm holding for long term. But many argue that this might be a bull trap which is also possible. Let's just hope for the best, altcoins have been bearish for long.

We cnnot say 100% that altcoin season started, only future will show, but indeed it's a good sign that ripple awakened. I personally think next altcoin season begins with ripple.

This is not the start of the altcoin season, we need to wait longer. When altcoin season start it will be on every news around the world, and that will be after BTC hits new ATH. When will that happen is hard to say, maybe next year, or in 2021, if we are lucky we will not have to wait longer than that.
I`m sure that next altcoin season will not start with ripple, it`s crazy to think that.

That's right, the altcoin season is waiting for us. And it is likely that we are at the very beginning. But you should not be sure that the bullish growth will already begin. It is likely that until the present rally a very long time.

Its seems like this Altcoins season is just temporary as they were in red again but hopefully it was just a minor correction and will become stable once again. Many Altcoins enthusiast are waiting for the real bullish so hopefully it will happen before this year will end and that temporary Altcoins rally is the sign of it.

As it is obvious today, it clearly has not. Not yet, at least. I still believe that there is one big rally awaiting us before the year ends, but as you can see right now, the majority of the market is in the red. The prices are going up and down daily, and are ready to explode — one way or another. Hopefully, when they do, they might go up. Bakkt launch might be a trigger, simply due to sentiment.

Seems we only experienced a little increase of the altcoins, so it is not altcoins season yet. If you look the crypto prices today they are slowly going down. Well we should be patient keep hold I believe altcoins season will be coming.

we are not completely yet we haven't even seen the altcoin market really increasing. only a small movement and some assets are experiencing growth but it looks good because the trade looks to increase with a very attractive market movement.

Altcoins season is yet to surface despite the little percentage gained on most of them. The volume and price is still at unbelievable level as compared to what it's used to be before. Things has really changed and most of them do not survived this bearish period. But it might be a good sign for altcoins to come back probably before the end of the year.

Nah... In my opinion this is just a bounce, I don't see any sign of a real bottom created. Moreover I'm still bullish on the bitcoin dominance chart so I think that if Bitcoin breaks this consolidation pattern we'll see another big drop in altcoins.

Altcoin season could be predefined by the visibility of Alts which are ready to move the interest of investors and traders. Though some person might still doubt the growth or stability of Alts prices, but I feel that this is the beginning of the season. It will gradually materialize

Nope.

It is just a pure manipulation. Did you saw what happened after that pump?? It immediately dumped because the manipulators are just controlling the market and those newbie investors did join the train and now some of them are at loss. In short they got FOMO'ed because they hoped that the pump is the start of the altcoin season. Stupidity

In the last 3 months of 2019 the market will be stable and it will be a good time for you to invest in this market because the investment demand is on the rise during this time so I believe that altcoin will have strong comeback this year. The thing to do now is to look for a good coin to invest because it is the investment that will bring a lot of profits for you. We may be wrong, but the crypto market will always be a promising destination for everyone

As far as I know, it doesn't seem like it yet, because there aren't any signs of altcoin increasing either in terms of price or demand on the market, although now there is a slight increase compared to last year, certainly this year is not the altcoin season but the BTC season  and ETH, because the applicants are very extraordinary especially ETH, even though the price is not stable but there are many crypto users investing using ETH, hopefully altcoin follows in the footsteps of ETH and BTC, so that the cryptocurrency world is more developed ..

Altseason will start when bitcoin or all market capitalization exceed price from the last bubble (2017 year). Then we will see enormous amount of an articles engaging to buy bitcoin and crypto in general. Group signals will grow like mushroom after rain. If you will hear about cryptocurrency in taxi car, during shopping you know we have the next bubble.

but what does altcoin season mean ? a longer pump duration ? is there such thing as that ? back on the year 2017 , the alts are pumping hard but that only  started on the last quarter ( before the year end ) but after that  , the dump has begin  . that pump dont really last longer though   .

people will just sell hard when they see that prices are starting to move up , thats why the price cant remain high  .

isn't that the nature of investing? selling when prices go up instead of panicking seeing prices go down.
the altcoin season has not yet begun and if there is a repetition of the 2017 altcoin season it will all be influenced by market demand. if what happens on the market is strong demand for altcoin trading, I don't think altcoin will be quick to go down.

Don't be fooled by the opium of the poors... There is no clear alt seasson yet. seems to me a small bull trap, BTC's dominance will probably climb higher, but at a time it will drop dramatically!

For what basis that last quarter would be the better time for altcoins?isn't it that Bitcoin is having a Halving next year?so if not now why it will take for the end year for. Altcoins to grow?

I believe that it’s not this year but the next is what the important time for the investors to look up

This year is the year of the top coins because the recent few big coins are improving in price and that helps investors. I think we will have to wait for a long time since the market has not shown any signs of the next rally, so now we should be patient or wait. I only trade when the market go up because it is always a good time to make a profit and you can make double as much if you're lucky.

It is impossible to be sure of anything as the market has not had any stability in the last few months and today Bitcoin continues to fall in price making many investors frustrated at the moment. I do not have much confidence in the market this year because altcoins currently do not bring great value in investment and people only care about profits. I think that instead of waiting, you should read books or search for documents related to this market for reference

No, that's just a modification from the whales. When the value of Bitcoin has exceeded the allowed level but no organization wants to pump the price of Bitcoin anymore, that's when the whales automatically sell bitcoin to buy alts.
This is the rule of the financial market, when things do not reach the expected price, people will turn around and run to find another expectation. ;)

Now bitcoin is finding resistance once btc get new support at 15000 dollars then we can expect altcoin season where all coins get pumps around 200 percent

Not quite yet  :D It was a great sign, but when BTC dominance is still between 65 and 75 percent, there is no chance for altcoins to get bulllish. Once ETH will achieve 400 USD per coin and BTC would be around 12k, we would speak about the green trend.

We cannot know in advance what price will appear in the future because the crypto market has huge fluctuations and we cannot predict. Any investor is expecting a surge in ETH and BTC prices over the next few months but I think there will be a major correction later this year so don't expect too much. Of course everyone's prediction about this market is different but surely crypto will go up again in the near future

This bearish trend caused by the volume of BAKKT that doesn't meet the expectation by so many bitcoin holders.
It's not about bitcoin was finding another resistance and i hope you can to take the latest news and then make it as a good information to determine about the next trend of bitcoin.
When bitcoin BAKKT doesn't meet the expectation and that's normal to see if there will be a sell off by the buyers on the rumour.

which now appears in the mass media and around us is prediction. indeed, there are no provisions for the accuracy of the predictions. but based on predictions can sometimes cause sentiment on the market. market movements can be started from small sentiments. and now the condition of altcoin is not too good, even when bitcoin goes back down we can see altcoin also returns to its decline.

Nothing it surprised us if some altcoins didn't make a good run this year because some of them are still relying on Bitcoin price and it quite to see that BTC is still at low until now. We had to see altcoins soaring high last 2017 because of the hypes made by whales but we are in big different by now and merely can see hypes back again these days which it keeps altcoins still at low price.

Altcoin season will never arrive.

Because everyone is realizing that altcoins are shitcoins, except Monero which is the best Bitcoin mixer (LOL).

We shouldn't be quick to jump into conclusion due to small up rise flow of some altcoin. It's not yet time for altcoin season cos bitcoin price keeps fluctuating below $10k, which will not allow altcoin season to take place. Better still yet let's expect a big movement of all altcoin next year

how about now? are you still asking the same question?

it looks like we have to wait for the altcoin season even longer. yesterday we might see altcoin strengthen, but not today. today the marketcap has gone down to $219B and hopefully it won't be worse.

I think this will be a longer, now we will enter Q4 2019 but the situation not change. In a last few days BTC and all altcoins price has droped. Maybe altcoins seasn will not come in this year.

well, maybe Q4 will be better mate
because, this drop price could be a bear trap, wich mean in the near time, a strong price movements will coming my friend
but who knows ? lets the market answer

nop,look at the charts today,its a bloodbath

we'll see how the market survives this week. if there will be price stability in the near future, it may indeed be true that there will soon be an improvement or an upward movement in the market. but for the altcoin season the move in its entirety will definitely take longer to generate a strong trend.

sad to say no

Especially after the crash yesterday xd
But still there's some alts which holds its value quite strong like LINK
Link dropped to $1.4 and bounce back to $1.7~$1.8
In order to have a full Alt season, all the alts must show good strength like LINK, else alts is still weak

If you watch the price chart from yesterday you will bro say that because this complete cryptocurrency market is dumped to few steps down than the price which we were seeing from the last few months.
I barely believe that this altcoins will be bumped in coming days. Let's hope for the best.

You try to invest on ethereum since it's value dropped around 170usd.

As I see, everything is worse now than it was expected several days ago, although it seems that these are the temporary declines. The so-called "altcoin season" might not come this year. We can wait for something like that after the Ethereum 2.0 launch (many tokens depend on ETH). Now, the time to hold has come definitely. if you are not sure how to trade these days, better wait.

Yes, that's right but so many people are only taking the conclusion before they try to do deep research about the market. Bitcoin now is getting another downtrend which already affected the whole of cryptocurrencies. Beartrap is real and it's happening yesterday.
This comes to a conclusion if we have not yet reached the bottom floor for bitcoin and it may have another chance to go down again.

The altcoin season hasn't arrived yet because the price of bitcoin is still rising and falling. Altcoin season will arrive if the price of bitcoin is stable.  And we never know when bitcoin prices will stabilize. We see today bitcoin is falling again and it makes the price of altcoin also experience a very deep decline.

Yes, you are right, we don't see any recovery as yet. Still, the altcoin is facing a downturn in the market and it is impossible to predict the prices. The fluctuation of Bitcoin is effecting the altcoin price and now there is no chance of recovery at this condition.

why it’s not possible to predict the price of Bitcoin, I think that this can be done in a certain corridor. I am sure that the price of Bitcoin this year will be in the range of 6000-14,000 dollars. Based on liquidity and trading volumes, prices for cryptocurrency assets can be determined.

I am eagerly waiting for the Ethereum 2.0 also because Ethereum has actually been the main reason why the ico industry boomed in 2017 but now that they have really lost it a bit, I hope that the their new upgrade will actually deal with lots of issues that has been making the altcoins dyeing and this time around also, I hope that they will be a little bit strict with their policies guying the registration of these projects even if they promise to deliver a full decentralized platform.

I don’t really see the bull run for altcoins actually coming this year also, as the major platforms that will act has catalyst such as this Ethereum update, Facebook coin and other will be till next year also, we just have to accept our fate this year already as lost opportunities till next year when majority of these altcoins will be revived again.

The market cannot be controlled because there are many factors that can make prices change. like the news in crypto is quite sensitive and also the graph of the downward trend that occurs quite deep

Yes me too, I am waiting for ETH 2.0 to see whether will it bring us a significant boost or probably change our current trend. But comparing it with the time once ETH launched their ICO system is quite overestimated. Because this ETH 2.0 does not discover anything new only boosting and upgrading its system.

so many projects are struggling right now, and some of them are deciding to close their platform because of this massive bear. I just hope, even if we are not seeing a bull run this year. At least we can stabilize the price and does not make any huge downward movement. It is very painful to watch and to bear

the altcoin season is not coming yet buddy
because this market still unstable, and there is no huge fundamental news to push the entire crypto space growing hard
just increase your patience

thats right, people should increase their patience to see the altseason come back to crypto market
because after a good movements when the OP created this thread, then few days later a big dump coming to altcoin
and thats really big sign if altseason is not started

I think it would be wrong to talk about a lower bull season right now if there wasn't any movement in the Alts during the recent long immobility of Bitcoin. When the price of Bitcoin decreases, it can be mentioned that the increase of coins on bitcoin basis, which did not experience a big decrease.

I don't think the altcoin season has started yet. These ascents may be a sign of a mini bull but it's too early to call it altcoin season.
Marketcap value falling, bitcoin price remains uncertain withdrawing money from the marketcap. Bitcoin dominance is still over 70% I don't think the altcoin season will come under these conditions.
I hope I'm wrong

By pumping up a very high price from Bitcoin, I hope that Altcoin can also follow in the footsteps of Bitcoin. But what happens to the Altcoins is experiencing very slow growth.

Perhaps this is the impact of Bitcoin domination. So the season of Altcoin until now has not arrived. If you read a lot of posts on this forum, many people predict the Altcoin season to arrive later this year. However, I see the present condition, also convinced that the Altcoin season will arrive this year.

Bitcoin prices had to do sideways for days for altcoin to achieve this pump. I am more worried nowadays that the dumps are outweighing the pumps. Because in a situation where you buy a 1usd and it pumps to 20 percent today and dumps 25 percent tomorrow, if you didn't take profit, then you are now at a loss of 5 percent..while we wait for a sustained altcoin bull, we have to be smart now that the crypto landscape has adjusted

oh, the long awaited alt season... by now they are already loosing again... I don't think we are there yet...
I am also waiting with fingers crossed  ;D but the market doesn't seem to want to cooperate...
there are very promising altcoins, but I think that there are still too many s*it coins around, and these need to go...

nope..
you have to understand something
if the price goes down 10% , then goes up 10%, the new price will be lower than the original
100 - 10 + 9 = 99

in this situation the price went down 90%, and went up 10%
its not an altseason im sorry

People are too much expecting to see for another bull run this year but some of us also getting into desperate because we'd fail again. Though we think that the market isn't cooperating us cause they're not actually. It is not crypto that we have to blame for this long bearish season but actually, it is us and it is all about crypto adoption which is not really strong to give the market a strike going up.

Last 2017 huge pumps because it plays with hypes but it is something missing today. And I hope that we will understand the situation and accept the reality.

a significant increase from ALT does not necessarily indicate that the season has begun.
I think that is selling and buying from market demand because on the previous days they all went down, this is when they went up.
I think the real ALT rises when BTC dominates and the price stabilizes after a rapid rise,

All of us hope Altcoin season will arrive soon, but I don't see that happening anytime soon because market conditions are still in a Bearish trend, It takes time for the Bullish in the next few months, especially after Halving Bitcoin happened in 2020.

There is no such thing as altcoins season. the last ATH was way different at 2018. People were stupid throwing money at projects trying to solve nothing. Not gonna happen again. just very few selective altcoins will see new ATHs.

There's really no mainstream usage of altcoins, besides maybe XRP for moneygram purposes. All other coins are just "securities". I mean they're literally just stealing bitcoin's inherent value and giving nothing back in return except lambos and luxury yachts for ICO investors. Just look at Kucoins and their coin offerings. Prime example of dumpster fire is DENT. they rose so high, and now are almost getting near just 1-2 satoshi value! Along with it their "XRP army" shills whom invested over $20,000 will basically suffer if this coin doesn't grow legs. the recent LTC chat leaks and the eventual downfall of ETH as it transitions for staking spell the end of these "sentimental value coins".

Bullish trend are caused by the bulls, and it only take minutes for a bull to make decision to invest in the market out of whatever reason that made him to do so, so you may not see the sign now, but that does not mean it cannot happen at any time.

Kindly take your memory back to April, when many of us started predicting when bitcoin will recover and some of us started thinking towards the year ending, but suddenly, without us ever making any form of expectation, the whole market of bitcoin made a U-turn and the value just started rising, and that is how we got out of the bear of bitcoin temporarily, I think that the bulls are actually prepared to enter the market, but there must be a factor that will encourage them to actually do so which is what we all need to pray and hope for now.

   Darooghe I agree with you, just few alt-coins will see a new ATH again, others will stay where they are, or in the worst case
they will drop to zero, I`m afraid.
   Most of us got carried by the hype, I admit I`m one of the people who invested in some alt-coins at their top prices, but I
still believe in them. I didn`t throw away my money on nameless coins, just in the ones from top 100.
   When Bitcoin make new ATH we will see some alt-coins making the ATH too, not before that.

Definitely, altcoins are promising coins with good technologies that play a huge role in the development of the cryptocurrency market. It will be especially interesting to watch the market when Gram, Libra and other coins from famous brands get there. A big player goes to the market and we can hope that institutional investors will follow this dynamic. but to replace bitcoins and get ahead of them by capitalization is almost impossible. Of course, the market depends on the price and position of bitcoin.

No, Bitcoin is still obviously bearish. The total marketcap of all coins is also remarkably bearish. The Bitcoin dominance chart is irrelevant at this point because money outflows are larger than inflows at the moment.

The thing youve said was right.For now we are moving sideways and we cant say that we are already on the bullish momentum.We are tanking heavily into these low price and to see that entire
marketcap doesnt show any progress or increase as of this moment.Talking bout Altcoin season then its easy to say that it is doing the same thing yet if we cant see any momentum on btc
then expect for altcoins to do the same.Its a considerable option for you to take to accumulate cheap alts for this moment but be sure on selecting the established or top rankings.

this is still unclear because it is still very possible for the price to fall lower because the situation so far is so uncertain that i insist on being patient again because i didn't decide to sell it when there was a recovery or a slight increase a few days ago. so with this situation we cannot conclude if a bullish pattern will happen because the support is so low there that it does not have strong resistance

that means if even the bull run will come and that means if the altcoin itself can determine the future of the altcoin. As you can see even with the bullish trend and altcoin which is not having a product can't even follow the trend. Altcoin must determine its future from its development progress.

there is no doubt that this fact is true. agree with your opinion.
can be seen from the dominance of bitcoin around 66% (https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage) does not decrease and still continues to be bearish, so how is it that the altcoin season will emerge. unless the dominance of altcoin increases and bitcoin decreases, altitude season will definitely occur despite the bearish conditions, if this happens usually people start to get bored with bitcoin conditions.

Indeed bitcoin at this time drop some % and maybe will continue a bit drop in price until holidays pass, i think next year we can have a bull also for bitcoin and altcoins all depends when people start to come again and greed starting.
