Altcoin Season 2025: Analysts Signal End of Bear Market as Fed Policy Shifts
The prolonged crypto winter may finally be thawing. After a brutal downturn that left altcoin investors nursing heavy losses, analysts detect early signs of a market reversal. Michael van de Poppe highlights the Federal Reserve's recent 25-basis-point rate cut and plans to conclude quantitative tightening by December as pivotal developments.
Historical patterns suggest such monetary policy shifts often precede crypto bull runs. The 2020 market surge followed similar Fed actions, while the 2021 tightening cycle triggered the current bear market. With inflation concerns receding and employment data taking priority, further rate cuts could inject much-needed liquidity into risk assets.
