The market appears to be entering a more defined upward trajectory, suggesting a transition from the accumulation phase into an early bull run, though the full impact is yet to unfold. Institutional investors are increasingly positioning in BTC and Ethereum ETH, creating a strong foundation for price momentum in these primary assets. This activity is further reinforced by expectations of a pro-crypto stance under a potential Trump administration, which could accelerate corporate adoption. Microsoft, along with other cash-rich corporations, is reportedly preparing to allocate part of its reserves into BTC and ETH, amplifying this institutional shift.

As BTC and ETH gain traction, retail investors often see these established assets as ‘missed opportunities’ and turn their focus toward altcoins, seeking higher growth potential. This expected retail influx into altcoins, following institutional movements in BTC and ETH, could drive a significant surge in the altcoin market.

However, it’s crucial to remain aware of potential short-term volatility, as markets may experience larger price swings to clear out leveraged positions. Do not be discouraged by these fluctuations; keep a level head, focus on the bigger picture, and avoid reacting hastily to potential volatility. Given the current signals and the supportive regulatory outlook, this may be one of the final opportunities for entry at these levels before a full-scale bull market takes hold. Institutional momentum, coupled with favorable policy indicators and a likely wave of retail interest in altcoins, sets the stage for robust growth across the crypto landscape.

We observed earlier this year that the accumulation and sideways movement phase has extended longer than initially anticipated. We now believe that the market has likely entered a phase of gradual awakening. While the initial movement may be subtle, we expect momentum to build progressively over time. Although the anticipated sharp breakout could occur slightly later than originally projected, we remain confident in a steady upward trajectory for altcoins in the coming months.

Current trends and market structures are signaling significant upward potential, with a period of rapid growth anticipated ahead. However, a swift flash crash remains a possibility, as traders may liquidate low positions to capture liquidity. The onset of the altcoin bull market has been postponed, leading to an accumulation phase that has persisted longer than initially projected. Consequently, we foresee a more robust upward movement, with the market peak likely occurring not by the end of this year, but potentially extending into the first half of the next year.

As expected, the rebound has started after the halving. Given that historically it is impossible to perfectly time entries and exits, we did not trade the anticipated downward fluctuation. Although the current outlook appears decisive, there may still be some surprises. However, on the timespan until the end of this bull market, this will only be a “blemish” on the chart. Despite the lack of significant activity since the halving, we have still managed to outperform BTC

Before the halving, which is a month away, we may see another leg down, but then we anticipate a significant rebound and, on selected coins, much greater than what BTC and ETH will experience. In the last year, employing this method, we have achieved a growth five times greater than that of BTC.
