Bitcoin’s rally hasn’t sparked an altcoin season like 2021’s breakout — yet. Even as BTC hit fresh all-time highs over the past two years, Bitcoin dominance has stayed elevated, limiting room for altcoins to run. Still, many investors expect a turn, and one analyst says that when it arrives it could be even bigger than the last.
Analyst Mark Chadwick told followers on X that altcoins are already flashing a major bullish pattern versus Bitcoin. The ALT/BTC chart has posted its fourth consecutive green monthly candle and, Chadwick says, this has confirmed a bullish crossover — the same technical signal that preceded the explosive 2021 altcoin run.
Chadwick argues this cycle could top 2021 for several reasons tied to broader market conditions and infrastructure development:
- Massive liquidity: Continued Fed injections into financial markets could fuel risk-on flows that help crypto assets appreciate.
- Clearer regulation: The proposed Clarity Act, which would categorize crypto assets as securities or commodities, could bring legal certainty.
- A perceived regulatory shift: Chadwick believes the SEC has taken a more pro-crypto stance under the current administration.
- Institutional trading rails: Increased crypto activity from exchanges such as the NYSE and NASDAQ is improving market access and liquidity.
- Real-world adoption moves: Fannie Mae has announced it will accept Bitcoin as loan collateral, and Mastercard is building crypto payment rails to enable blockchain-based transactions.
Putting those factors together, Chadwick called the setup “of epic proportions.” If those catalysts materialize and the ALT/BTC momentum continues, the next altcoin season could outperform 2021 — with altcoins gaining against Bitcoin rather than merely following its lead.
