I think you're correct in your prediction of an upcoming altcoin surge. Bitcoin is broken and ETH badly hobbled.
We're also seeing clear signs of institutional investors dipping their toes in the alternative waters. They seem focused primarily on coins with solid teams, strong foundations, transparent histories, and consumer-geared brands.

Interesting Microguy!
Which coins do you see this happening in?
Litecoin (LTC) and Goldcoin (GLD) are both good candidates. Obviously, these choices will draw some skepticism, but that comes with the territory.
Litecoin was the first popular altcoin and is connected in all the right places. It's probably the best 'politically connected coin' behind Ethereum. Charlie Lee's brother operates the second largest bitcoin exchange (as of 2014) and Lee himself is highly positioned within the Coinbase organization. Lee recently announced on Twitter that LTC will be added to the new Coinbase exchange. I don't think this news has reached a majority of market participants.
LTC target 12-18 months =
$40.00Almost everyone is unaware that Goldcoin's lead developer Amir Eslampanah and Vitalik Buterin were classmates at the University of Waterloo. And they're equally talented individuals. Amir's recent difficulty algorithm "Golden River" which immunizes cryptocurrencies from diff attacks, has gone largely unnoticed. The coin currently holds the top search ranking on both Google and Amazon. The core team's guiding principle is in preserving and defending the integrity of Satoshi's protocol.
GLD target 12-18 months =

Thanks MicroGuy!
What is unique about goldcoin?
What does it offer that Bitcoin does not?
How will it achieve adoption?
Does it have real utility already somewhere?
How is amount of transactions per day evolving since inception?
Website looks nice but answers to these questions I cannot easily find.
Also, is it POW or POS, what is inflation rate?
Who is it's competition and how does it differentiate?
