● When to Expect a Full-Scale Altseason
Altcoins typically pumping when $BTC Dominance starts to strong downtrend — a consistent pattern in every major cycle. This rotation follows Bitcoin's rally and stabilization, as liquidity shifts to altcoins in pursuit of higher returns.
Consider 2021: Dominance dropped from about 73% to 40%, igniting a massive altseason. Coins like $SOL, $ADA, and $DOGE saw exponential gains.
Bitcoin's dominance is currently around 55%, a significant resistance zone. If it breaks down, expect a rapid decline to 40%.
The catalysts are present:
➜ Increased adoption
➜ "Crypto-president" Donald Trump
➜ Emerging narratives like #AI, #RWA, and #MemeCoins gaining traction
Altseason is not random — it's a predictable outcome of crypto's cyclical nature.
As I mentioned before, my bet for the altseason is in the spring of 2025.
And yes, I too have a hard time believing fully that the altseason is possible, but that feeling comes every cycle.
That's okay, it means the market is doing a good job of “smoking people out”. Patience friends, patience always pays off.
● Key Narratives for 2025
The buzz around strong narratives isn't going away, so don't ignore it. In the market, you either follow trends and profit or miss out.
• AI
The AI boom isn’t slowing down. It’s fueling everything from decentralized data models to tokenized tools. As tech adoption grows, projects like $RENDER, $TAO, $GRASS, $IO, $SPEC, or $GRT.
• AI Agents
Think of them as bots that do it all—trading, managing dApps, and automating tasks. The buzz is huge, and tokens like $VIRTUALS, $LUNA, $AIXBT, $GRIFFAIN, $HAT, and $AI16Z are at the forefront.
• Memecoins
They’re chaotic, unpredictable, and dominating once again. From viral campaigns to strong communities, memecoins like $PEPE, $POPCAT, $FARTCOIN, $MOG, $GIGA, and $WIF have big potential for the 2025 altseason.
• RWA
Bringing traditional finance to crypto by tokenizing real estate, commodities, and more. With $ONDO, $OM, $POLYX, $CPOOL, $TRADE, and $PRCL leading the charge, the institutional interest is real.
• DePIN
The infrastructure layer everyone’s talking about. Projects like $HNT, $MOBILE, $AKT, $THETA, $AR, and $IOTX are tokenizing everything from wireless networks to IoT devices.
• DeSci
Disrupting traditional science by making research funding transparent. Tokens like $TRAC, $VITA, $RSC, $AXGT, $HAIR, and $RJV are turning innovation into an open market.
• DeFi & Infrastructure
The backbone of crypto keeps evolving. While it’s quieter than AI or memecoins, $EIGEN, $HYPE, $ZRO, $ENA, $AAVE, and $PENDLE are still key players building the foundation.
• Gaming
Play-to-earn games are stepping up, with better quality and deeper markets. The promising ones are $CAH, $CROWN, $PRIME, $SHRAP, $PENGU, and $ILV.
These narratives are driving the cycle forward — spot the trends early, position yourself smartly, and 2025 could be the year you win big.
● When to take profits and step away from the market
Profit-taking during altseason is just as important as choosing the right altcoins. Without a plan, greed and fear can ruin even the best trades. Here’s how to lock in gains and stay ahead.
The Key: Balance greed (wanting more) with fear (losing profits). Before you buy:
- Why are you buying?
- What’s your target price?
- When will you sell?
Psychology matters: Many miss ATHs chasing unrealistic targets like $1 or $1000. Instead, aim just below psychological levels — e.g. $0.94–$0.97 instead of $1.
Here is one of the most popular strategies:
- Take 33% at 3x (recover initial investment).
- Take 20% at 4x
- Take 30% at 5x. This locks in profits while leaving a "moonbag" (5-10% of your position) for unexpected pumps.
The choice is yours, but partial profit-taking often proves to be the most successful strategy. You can set higher targets while also taking partial profits.
In past cycles, this approach allowed me to sell $BTC at ~$68,500, near its peak. Planning like this ensures you profit while staying liquid to rotate into new opportunities.
As altseason approaches, now is the time to prepare. The right plan will help you avoid common mistakes and maximize gains when the market heats up.
● 2025 could be the year that changes everything for crypto
Let’s connect the dots, 2024 already set the stage with:
• BTC breaking $100K
• ETF approvals for BTC & ETH
• A memecoin supercycle and viral AI memes dominating the narrative
• The Bitcoin Halving in April, cutting supply emissions even further
• And yes, a Trump victory, boosting confidence with a pro-crypto administration.
Cycles tell us what’s coming next. The last halving (2020) led to a massive bull run in 2021, and the same setup is in play. But this time, the environment is even more bullish:
• Institutional adoption is growing (BlackRock, Fidelity, etc.).
• AI and blockchain integration is the next frontier.
• New airdrops, like Hyperliquid's 7-figure splash, are driving market activity.
2025 could be the year we see:
• BTC at $200K+
• Altcoins exploding as liquidity rotates post-BTC rally
• The rise of AI-driven tokens and innovative projects capturing global attention.
For those who believe in cycles and long-term trends, this is what we’ve been waiting for. Dips today could lead to life-changing gains tomorrow. Stay focused, stay prepared — 2025 is shaping up to be historic.
● The game plan for 2025: How to identify and navigate the stages of altseason.
Stage 1: Bitcoin dominance peaks
Altseason typically starts when BTC dominance tops out after a strong rally. Early signs include major alts like ETH and BNB starting to outperform BTC.
• Plan: Begin buying high-cap altcoins as dominance declines.
Stage 2: High caps pump
Top-tier altcoins gain momentum, pulling in retail interest. This fuels steady growth for well-established projects.
• Plan: Add exposure to quality mid-cap alts, especially those tied to strong narratives (AI, RWA, DePin, GameFi).
Stage 3: Mid caps surge
Mid-tier projects start delivering exponential gains. Hype intensifies, and speculative narratives dominate.
• Plan: Take partial profits on mid-caps and look for undervalued low-cap opportunities.
Stage 4: Low caps explode
The peak of altseason. Even obscure projects pump as euphoria drives irrational buying.
• Plan: Aggressively lock in profits, leaving small moonbags for any extended rallies.
Stage 5: Market exhaustion
Altcoin prices stagnate or begin to decline as liquidity shifts back to BTC or stablecoins.
• Plan: Exit remaining positions and secure gains in BTC or cash.
Each stage offers opportunities, but having a plan ensures you capitalize without being caught in the hype.
Altseason is cyclical—prepare now to maximize gains in 2025.
So, Happy New Year to everyone, friends!
2025 promises to be one of the most bullish years in the history. All the signs are there: new opportunities, compelling stories, and a perfect alignment of cycles.
Take this time to rest, enjoy with loved ones, and rejuvenate.
The path ahead is full of potential, but it requires focus and preparation.
Patience will pay off, and we will succeed!
Let's make this year a memorable one!
