Historical Setup Signals Incoming Altcoin Season 

Key Insights:

• The TOTAL3 chart appears ready for a major breakout, signaling the start of the altcoin season.
• Crypto analyst CryptoELITES also highlighted an altcoins bull fractal that happened two times in the past.
• The Bitcoin dominance chart shows a sharp reversal that suggests that smart money may have used the surge to trap long positions and accumulate liquidity before driving the market lower.

The TOTAL3 chart appears ready for a major breakout, echoing a familiar pattern last seen during the explosive 2020–2021 cycle.

Back then, a brutal 20% liquidation candle marked the exact moment the previous Altseason began.

According to market analyst CryptoELITES, the same bullish fractal that preceded earlier rallies has now appeared once again signaling altcoin season could kick off soon.

In recent weeks, the market’s dominance chart has been climbing steadily. However, a sudden liquidity sweep above the 61% level flipped the narrative.

What first looked like a sign of renewed strength quickly turned out to be a convincing fakeout, leaving traders questioning what comes next.

Altcoin Season is Soon, Signals TOTAL3 Chart

The TOTAL3 chart looks poised for a major move, after a strikingly similar setup to what we saw in 2020–2021, when a massive liquidation candle of over 20% triggered the beginning of the last Altseason.

Once that shakeout occurred, capital rotated swiftly across the altcoin market, fueling a strong and sustained rally.

Now, history seems to be repeating itself. A clear inverse head-and-shoulders pattern is forming once again, pressing against a long-term descending trendline.

The recent breakout attempt suggests growing strength beneath the surface, as market structure shifts from accumulation to expansion.

If momentum continues, TOTAL3 could soon confirm its breakout with a decisive move higher. The pattern’s symmetry and timing are hard to ignore, both technically and psychologically, the market appears to be setting the stage for another explosive phase.

Incidentally, just like in 2020, the liquidity candle we’re seeing today might not be a warning sign, but rather the spark that ignites the next Altseason.

2-Time Bull Fractal Shows Incoming Altcoins Rally

Crypto analyst CryptoELITES also highlighted a bull fractal that happened two times in the past, signalling the start of the altcoin season.

The TOTAL3 chart paints a compelling picture of recurring market behavior. In 2017, a breakout from a long consolidation phase unleashed a historic altseason.

Four years later, in 2021, that same structure repeated, fueling another parabolic rally across the altcoin market.

Now, in 2025, the pattern has once again emerged.

The price action is coiling tightly beneath long-term resistance, forming a textbook ascending triangle. Meanwhile, the MACD momentum indicator mirrors the exact turning points of past cycles, hinting at brewing strength beneath the surface.

If history repeats itself, this breakout could signal the start of the next major Altcoin Season.

Bitcoin Dominance Is Dropping

Market analyst 𝐊𝐚𝐦𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐬𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐫 drew attention to a pivotal development in Bitcoin Dominance ($BTC.D).

After weeks of steady upward movement, the BTC dominance chart executed a dramatic liquidity sweep above the 61% mark, a move that initially signaled strength but quickly revealed itself as a major fake out.

This sharp reversal suggests that smart money may have used the surge to trap long positions and accumulate liquidity before driving the market lower.

The structure now shows Bitcoin dominance retreating toward a rising trendline that has supported the market since early September.

A clean break beneath it could mark the beginning of a broader shift in market momentum

Historically, such breakdowns have often paved the way for Altcoin Season, as traders and investors begin rotating capital from Bitcoin into higher-beta altcoins seeking stronger returns.

As Asghar’s chart indicates, a decisive close below the trendline would confirm the loss of bullish structure and likely trigger a wave of altcoin strength.

On the other hand, if dominance finds support and rebounds, Bitcoin may continue to assert control over the market.
