What’s your outlook on the altcoin market right now?

[JamesDaniel90]

All those saying we are heading to a bear market next year, there is over a 80% chance of rate cut in just 2 weeks. QT is ending in 3 days and QE will start first half of 2026.

These are bullish things to come.

[As-Soon-As]

The altcoin market has been pretty unpredictable lately — some projects are showing strong recovery, while others are losing momentum.

I’m curious to hear what everyone thinks: are we in the early stages of a new alt season, or is this just a short-term hype before another correction?
Personally, I’ve noticed that trading volumes for mid-cap coins are rising again, but the sentiment still feels mixed.

What indicators or factors are you watching most closely when analyzing altcoins right now?

Look, I believe in Bitcoin, if the Bitcoin market is dumping, then the progress towards dumping in all types of Altcoin markets is more. Since the current Bitcoin price is being corrected, it is natural for Altcoins to be dumped. All the coins that are currently rising are showing you greed, fools will invest in Altcoin in this market. If you trust Altcoin, then all your money will be taken away, that's why I say that only Bitcoin is the most trusted at the present time.

Expect more of the market pump this end of the month and be more profitable in your investment, if you're trading, then know what position to take, so that you don't miss out as the pattern is already changing and we are more bullish this time than bearish, which may last us from now to the end of the month and next month as it may be, while investors should keep on holding because there will be more of rising than falling this time.

Remember the two rate cuts in September and October this year? Bitcoin always falls afterwards, so don't expect too much from the upcoming rate cut having a significant impact on the market. I think things will be as usual, bitcoin and the market will rise slightly before the news and will fall more sharply after the interest rate news is released.

Yes, QT is ending in 2 days and that is good news but when the Fed starts QE is still a big question. There is still no news or rumors about when QE will start. If you thought this news would kick off altcoin season, you may have to wait longer than you think or it may never come until the next halving.


I still have hope for altcoin season, but I'm prepared for the opposite. Alt season may not come either.

Many established coins sometimes lose their appeal to investors after their prices drop, especially if the developers don't update their projects. These coins often lose traction in the market and lose their price recovery momentum when the market begins to rise.
This doesn't appear to be the start of a new altcoin season. Typically, when the market experiences a prolonged correction, some investors are more attracted to newly launched coins or tokens because they often capitalize on the upward momentum of new coins (pump and dump), potentially generating significant profits, especially since new coins can easily be manipulated by large investors.

[Dunamisx]

Anyone that wants to invest should investigate thoroughly and be sure of taking the risk, because it may not be as always expected in some cases, we have to see the way the markets are performing these days, while for the traders, this applies most on them, the investors can still have the hope of waiting till altcoins season, which is why we have to prepare our minds together towards what may be coming.

Right now the altcoin market feels like it’s in a underperformed phase compared to bitcoin. Bitcoin is still dominating most of the attention, so altcoins aren’t getting a desired bull run for which we are waiting for years. But the overall the condition is slowly going into right direction, People have lost faith on crypto at least at some extent and money usually flows into alts after confidence comes back and only then big money will enter into alts from  big coins. Finally Low cap potent project will fly sky high. So the outlook is cautiously hopeful, but still risky ,good projects might pump, weak ones might stay dead. And this time , the pump will be massive and only good project will survive

In my honest opinion I think low cap project will just vanish and won't pump again.
Lets be real the altcoin market recently has been hugely predatory, the IDO that forces retailer to liquidate their position to follow presale because chance of making profit is higher there and the money goes straight to the developers and the fact that there are so many big project with big funding opening market at huge FDV.

It was not the same as before, everybody is only buying new altcoin and top altcoin.

Those saying not to hold altcoins right now.

Zcash has just done a 14x in 6 weeks while Bitcoin has gone down.

There is a lot more money to be made in altcoins compared to BTC , u just have to buy a few top ones and at least one of them will outperform BTC.

What is BTC going to do next few months maybe hit $150k if it’s lucky? Thats now only a 50% pump from current price, altcoins pump 50% in just a few days.

zcash is a privacy token, and i see some influential figure promoting in twitter handle and saying good thing about zcash, and some financial company buying zcash to long term holding, so this hype zcash price going 14x in a few weeks, but do you know zcash all time high price, you will surprised to see zcash ath was 5941$ before 9 years ago. altcoins market is still going in bearish season, December is going but no bull run in altcoins market, some coins price pump 2x-10x, those are mostly new launched coins.

That is true, almost all of it, probably all of it, that went down low didn't go back up. When we are talking about low cap, there is a reason why they were low cap and that is mainly because people were not interested and when there are only a handful of few people interested which makes it low cap then there is no reason to think that this would suddenly start to change. This is why it makes more sense to stay away from them.

If you are in one, then get out, because a small part of big coin is better than big part of a small coin. Most people think the return would be higher because it's a low cap, but that requires a whale to get in and buy a lot, there is no need for a whale to do that, so they won't do it.
