Altcoin Season 3.0 Is Coming If These Signs Are To Be Believed

A new altcoin season may be underway following a confirmed breakdown in Bitcoin dominance and repeated RSI bottom signals.

Notably, the market structure from June 2025 closely matches past altcoin cycle bottoms from 2015, 2019, and 2023.

Each of those historical dates marked the beginning of multi-month rallies, often delivering 5x to 50x returns.

With Bitcoin dominance in decline and altcoin strength reappearing, analysts are warning that a shift may already be in motion.

BTC Dominance Breakdown Triggers Altseason Signals

Traders have focused on the significant decline in Bitcoin dominance this month. According to Altcoin Buzz, Bitcoin dominance broke down from a rising wedge pattern, ending a trend that began in November 2024.

The price did close below the ascending key support around 64.8%, invalidating the wedge and offering a potential to 61%. This level was last seen during earlier altcoin rotations.

Such breakdowns are not new, as historical data showed that altseason often begins when Bitcoin dominance weakens. When dominance falls, capital is transferred into smaller, and more volatile tokens.

This shift increases altcoin trading volume and price expansion. The RSI on the dominance chart has also crossed down, strengthening bearish momentum.

More so, technical patterns in past altcoin rallies often start with Bitcoin stagnation. When dominance fades, altcoins gain room to outperform.

The market is now well poised towards such a transition. Analysts point out that the altseason fits both the chart setup and the timeline observed in 2015 and 2019.

Long-Term RSI Support Confirms Altcoin Rotation Cycle

Moreover, the RSI of the crypto total market cap without the top 10 assets also confirms it.

Analyst Gordon highlighted a fourth RSI bounce off the same multi-year uptrend line that previously triggered major altcoin rallies.

This trend occurred in November 2015, September 2019, and June 2023. June 2025 bounce also fits the same trendline.

Each time the RSI touched this long-term rising line, a strong altcoin rally followed. The RSI value close to 36 this cycle reflects on historical pivot points.

Such regions are low-momentum timeframes before major upswings. Traders monitoring historical RSI patterns have taken this rebound as a high-confidence signal for a rally.

Meanwhile, the total altcoin market cap has started consolidating near a historical support range. This consolidation has held despite Bitcoin’s volatility.

If RSI continues to climb from this level, it could confirm a new upward phase for altcoins.

Altcoin Traders Eye 150x to 175x as BTC Stalls

Crypto analyst Discover suggested that this third altseason wave could match or exceed past rallies.

In 2017 and 2021, Discover turned $212 into over $200,000 by timing Bitcoin dominance peaks and riding altcoin momentum.

This 2025 setup can be based on a cycle model, which repeats every so many years.

The overlay shared by Discover showed altcoin surges of 120x and 150x after BTC dominance peaked.

There is the potential of a 175x ticker on some of the low-cap assets forecasted in terms of 2025.

These cycles appear connected to long-term Bitcoin-to-altcoin market rotations. As BTC dominance plateaus or reverses, altcoins benefit disproportionately.

The growing trend of high-beta narratives, DePIN, AI, and modular L1s enables momentum.

New money into crypto through ETFs and stablecoin ramps may be looking to get asymmetric returns. Altcoins often offer those opportunities during peak market rotations.

Analyst Flags Overbought Bitcoin Dominance

Adding to the confluence of signals, analyst Javon Marks confirmed that Bitcoin dominance has entered extremely overbought territory.

His chart showed previous RSI overbought levels in 2015 and 2019, both followed by major altcoin expansions. He believed this third spike could once again trigger a strong altcoin rally.

The RSI chart had a bearish divergence, which indicated that the momentum was progressively decreasing despite the price increase.

A similar pattern emerged before sharp drops in BTC dominance. Javon suggested that the market may already be preparing for another shift, where altcoins take control of capital inflows.
