Altseason Alert: Multiple Signals Flash - Which Altcoin Is Primed to Explode Next?
Green lights everywhere—the altcoin market's heating up faster than a mining rig in July.
Signals Stacking Up
Momentum indicators scream bullish across mid-caps. Trading volumes spike—retail's diving back in while institutions quietly accumulate positions. Social sentiment metrics hit yearly highs as crypto Twitter rediscovers its favorite gambling habits.
Contenders Emerging
BNB flirts with new ATHs as exchange tokens lead the charge. Layer-2 narratives gain traction—everyone suddenly remembers why scaling solutions matter. DeFi blueprints resurrect from 2021 graves, though this time with actual users.
Timing the Peak
Watch for parabolic moves followed by 3AM 'what have I done' panic sells. The smart money's already taking profits while influencers still preach diamond hands—some things never change in this beautifully dysfunctional casino.
Altcoin All-Time High Season?
Altcoins have had a solid week with record highs for Hyperliquid (HYPE), which hit a peak of $59.30 on Thursday, and Binance Coin (BNB), which topped $1,000 on the same day.
There are only two high-cap tokens that are close to record highs: Ethereum, which is 8% away, and the iFinex Leo Token (LEO), which is just 6% away from a new peak. XRP and solana (SOL) are next in the list at 16% down from their peaks, while Tron (TRX) is 19% away from a new high.
The rest of the top thirty altcoins are still languishing between 55% and 85% down from their all-time highs, so it appears that Ethereum is likely to hit a new peak first, given its recent momentum.
Analyst ‘Colin Talks Crypto’ observed that the “Total3,” which represents altcoins and stablecoins, is breaking out, and the altcoins without including stablecoins are on the cusp of a breakout. Meanwhile, ‘0xNobler’ said that every altseason has started in September, “and this one won’t be any different.”
Other analysts noted different cyclical chart patterns that appeared to be repeating, suggesting that altseason is imminent.
The historical trend is undeniable.
Each cycle, altcoin season has kicked off after hitting a similar resistance level—in 2017, 2021, and we just hit it again in 2025.
This chart suggests we could be on the verge of the next major run.

Today’s Top Altcoin Movers
Most of the altcoins are flat today, but chainlink has added 3% to reach $24.50 at the time of writing. The asset came just below $30 in December but has yet to return to that price level.
Avalanche is also performing well today with a 5.4% gain to top $35 during early trading in Asia. AVAX has surged 50% over the past month as the real-world asset tokenization narrative heats up.
Near Protocol (NEAR) is having a good run with a 12% gain on the day to top $3.20, while Immutable (IMX) has added 17%.
Everywhere I look I see more evidence of Altseason coming.
