Altcoin season in "Uptober"?

[Abiky]

There are rumors that there will be an altcoin season soon. ETH will be the one coin that would most likely trigger the craze, affecting other altcoins among the top ranks in market cap.

If I had to guess, this October (aka as Uptober in crypto land) will be a bullish month for alts. Bitcoin will remain "stagnant" within the $112k - $116k range for a while. But the crypto market is often unpredictable, so anything's possible.

What do you think? Will altcoin season take place the following month? If not, why? What would be your prediction?

Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Total2 bounced back high from resistance, so uptober altseason is possible.

I would manage my expectations though, if I really want next altseason I will just invest in high trading volume altcoin such as ETH and maybe some new L1 coins to speculate on.
Previous rally that just happened recently with ETH surge, Aster, and XPL taught me that low trading volume old altcoin don't have prospectful future. They just stagnates.

I think most coins will rise in October, November & December. Perhaps we get true Altcoin season in December or
January, once Bitcoin tops out. People usually flow into Alts once Bitcoin pumps hard & we are yet to see that so for now, peak Altcoin season is delayed.

Many expect Bitcoin to end 2025 with at the price of least 150k. Some say even 200k+. And for that imho a good Uptober is a must.
Sometimes this takes the fuel (fiat) the alts were expecting. So it's not easy to predict what happens next and you have to be aware that alts prices may or may not increase compared to Bitcoin (of course, against fiat it may still be bullish, but with current inflation all around the world, that's not a big deal).

Altseason won't come next month, at least for my reasons, Bitcoin Dominance (BTCD) is still strong. Due to the still strong dominance, I personally don't believe altseason will come if we talk next month. But things can change, that's how it's in the crypto industry, everything changes so quickly, we can only monitor how the situation is happening & get a little prediction about what the future holds.

I will advice you to take this information too serious because they can be spread by people who want to create shitcoins and get people to invest in them. When people have the mindset that altcoin season will come soon, most people with go and buy tokens of low price, mostly new tokens with the hope that the altcoin season will pump the price of those token they have purchased so that can make huge profits.

If you look at the previous years data, October to december are usually periods thar favor altcoins more than they do bitcoin even though bitcoin will go up too. Bitcoin dominance on the other hand will suffer because alts will likely go up higher than bitcoin will go before go into what might be a climaxing end to the bull run unless Trump and all other factors decide that we are worthy to break out of the 4-year crypto market cycle.

TLDR: Uptober is for alts.

And as what we have seen, Bitcoin has touch new all time high while Ethereum has a hard time, at least one time in August if I'm not mistaken. But Bitcoin has been breaking grounds. And if we go on the premise that Ethereum should be lead the altcoin season, then it might take sometime and we don't know that if it can still go up in the next several months.

So for me, it's a very hard road for Ethereum and we don't know if we will have a altcoin season. Because it will take a lot of money to pour into the altcoin market right now just to be able to see some kind of movement. And right now, it seems that the bear market has slowly getting into the picture.

Imho Ethereum going PoS was a disaster for HODLers, especially for the smaller ones. So for me Ethereum having overall hard times is not a surprise.

But I've just looked into the charts and August gave quite a recovery, allowing event to slightly surpass the 2022 ATH (vs USD).
September, however, was more bad than good, but in crypto we always have up and down alternation (longer or shorter), so overall it's not that bad and I can understand the hopium in the ETH boat.

But..., altcoins are not only Ethereum, you know...

[SOKO-DEKE]

People are expecting the altcoin season very soon, but I will say that nobody really knows when it will start  whether it will be in October or December. I don’t think anyone can say the exact month when the altcoin season will begin.

It’s also possible that the altcoin season may not be like what happened in the last bull run, where almost every altcoin was just pumping. So, it’s better to limit our expectations. Even if we want to invest, we should focus on reputable altcoin projects like Ethereum, Solana, BNB, and so on.

It would not be wise to invest in all these pump-and-dump projects. Even if the season comes, it’s possible that such projects will continue to scam investors by using pump-and-dump strategies where the price can be pumped today and dumped the next day.Therefore, we should do proper research before investing in any altcoin.

[hugeblack]

I fear it could be downtober (just kidding ).

There are positive indicators, such as interest rates. The market is poised to rise, and many are no longer optimistic about the price. Therefore, the September close is very important and must be above the $113,000 level. If that happens, there is a high probability we will see a bullish season.

There are opinions about it, not rumors.

Rumors would mean that someone would have some insight information about that and some crypto pump cabal would be setting up a bull market.

But market is way too big for that, and anyone planning to manipulate it would risk all they have. Only ones who are likely to pump it are some high level political leaders, and i am afraid if that happens, it could mean that we are having financial crisis like never before in the near future.

It's impossible to predict, but if i had to guess, we are near the next big bear market starting, as mooning too much from here doesn't see healthy.

Well, I think that spot ETFs for popular altcoins will trigger a frenzy. I've read that the SEC is planning to approve a Solana spot ETF by October. Perhaps, that will be enough to trigger the altcoin season? Bitcoin dominance remains high because institutional investors have been buying it like crazy. Even Ethereum's market dominance increased as a result of "Wall Street's" involvement in it.

Without the support of institutional investors, I fail to see how altcoins will survive in the long run. Retail investors aren't that interested in them (except for "meme" coins). As it's said in the real world, "patience is a virtue". We might need to wait quite some time before altcoins turn bullish again. Just keep buying while prices are low to sell after the hype. Rinse and repeat.

After many years , altseason is almost here 

We will see more dips next few months but ultimately, it is soon going to be the time where altcoins finally outperform Bitcoin and those of us mainly in altcoins can cash out some profit.

[fuguebtc]

Previous rally that just happened recently with ETH surge, Aster, and XPL taught me that low trading volume old altcoin don't have prospectful future. They just stagnates.

Unlike you, the recent surge in ETH as well as the Perp DEX trend explosion has shown me that there is no fixed or specific formula when investing in altcoins. This is a speculative and manipulative market, which all depends on the steering by the market makers.

Did you know Aster is not a new project, but a project founded in 2023 called APX Finance and almost died because no one remembers it anymore? After merging with Astherus, it was rebranded Aster and received investment from YZi Labs in 2024. I bet none of us knew about it until CZ shilled and turned it into one of the hottest trends on the market today.

So in my opinion, old or new altcoin doesn't matter. The important thing when investing in altcoins is whether we are lucky enough or not  .

At the time of this writing, Bitcoin is slowly increasing in price. Most top-ranked altcoins are also in the "green zone". However, gains are not as much as Bitcoin's. BNB is the only altcoin that's been on a frenzy these days. It keeps reaching a new ATH (currently valued at $1,087). October is just getting started, so anything can happen in the long run.

I'm not in a hurry for altcoin season to kick into full gear, though. Times like these are great to accumulate more coins at a discount. Just buy while prices are low, to sell once the hype makes a comeback. Top coins in market cap is where the money is. Do your own research and you'll see what I mean.

[mich]

Well it does like like it this way this month will give us all alot of gains. Bitcoin breaking price point of 120k now so I do think we will make alot of gains. 
The top alt coins are all making gains right now. The biggest gains in last 7 days is Solana up 18.36 percent.

[Webetcoins]

Soon huh? But actually, this talks about the altcoin season is never-ending. As long as we never get it yet, people will keep on doing so. It is no surprise on why ETH will be the leader, it is because it is the first in the altcoin rankings.

Just like Bitcoin that is also the first which also controls the whole crypto market. October seem to be a bullish month for it to be called as Uptober, so I wouldn't wonder if apart from a Bitcoin pump, there will also be an alt season that can take place.

But if let say BTC will remain stagnant on those prices that you mentioned there, that is still fine for me and it is still more superior compared to the rallying alts. But if let say as well that there will be no alt season in October, we shall not worry as there are still more upcoming months or years .

That's where the problem comes. An altcoin investor is probably in a rush to see the increase in value of their held coins, and if possible, it's okay for them to see Bitcoin down than their altcoins.

Bitcoin could easily go up even if it goes down to $110k. But the profits that an altcoin investor can make during a pump in their preferred coins are different, especially if those are the cheap coins that will suddenly boost in value. I do understand what they wish for because I have been in that position before.
The other problem in today's era is the stablecoins, which makes it tough for alts to gain value.

[Odusko]

I think most coins will rise in October, November & December. Perhaps we get true Altcoin season in December or
January, once Bitcoin tops out. People usually flow into Alts once Bitcoin pumps hard & we are yet to see that so for now, peak Altcoin season is delayed.

once the price of Bitcoin increase significantly and there be a bull run which is expected in October November and to run through December, a lot of new investors will start looking at altcoins that could pump and give them that profits that they thinks that Bitcoin could not give them if the have invested the same amount on Bitcoin, so definitely altcoins will follow up as Bitcoin start gaining significantly.
