Picture this, our altcoin heroes, bloodied and bruised from November’s savage beatdown, stagger through the crypto wasteland like extras in a Mad Max sequel.
Over a trillion bucks vaporized from the markets, wiping out most of this year’s gains, leaving TOTAL3 , the altcoin market cap sans Bitcoin and stablecoins, looking like a ghost town.
But hold onto your laser wallets, because the wise analysts whisper that this isn’t defeat. More likely it’s the ominous calm before altseason’s thunderous charge.
Rotation to alts
Enter the oracle known as Stockmoney Lizards, dropping truth bombs from the digital dunes.
Why altcoins feel dead but money is actually rotating:
TOTAL3 without stables / BTC: No breakout. Still looks bearish.
TOTAL3 with stables / BTC: Broke out. Money flowing.
The difference? Capital is sitting in stablecoins.

Altcoins feel deader than a doornail, he cackles, but peek under the hood, and what do you see?
Cash is sloshing into stablecoins like refugees fleeing a Bitcoin dump. The script? BTC tanks → herds flee to stables → stables simmer → boom, rotation to alts.
We’re smack in that nail-biting wait, guys, altseason loading like a glitchy spaceship engine.
Right before a mega altcoin expansion?
Then strides Michaël van de Poppe, MN Fund founder and cycle whisperer, refusing to let the bull market flatline.
“Not the end of the bull—just altcoins’ bear market finale,” he declares, sketching business cycles where alts historically explode.
Forget the stale four-year Web3 loop, this cycle’s a wild, elongated beast with opportunities sprouting like mushrooms after a heavy rain.
Sykodelic chimes in, eyeballing TOTAL3 charts with the glee of a mad scientist. “Couldn’t look better,” despite the gut-punch correction that’s crushed holders.
It’s the spitting image of last cycle’s setup right before mega altcoin expansion, no cycle finale here, just the appetizer.
Total market cap hits $3.2 trillion
Recovery’s creeping, sure, alts slow as molasses after many 50%+ November dips. Yet today, with BTC clawing back over $91,000 and ETH topping $3,000 in the time of writing, green shoots poke up.
Total market cap hits $3.2 trillion, eyeing October’s peaks like a hunter stalking prey.
Alex Wacy seals the spotlight, waving the altcoins-to-Bitcoin ratio chart like Excalibur.
“Every week, another signal screams MASSIVE ALTS RALLY—the biggest altseason ever if it ignites.”
Something weird is brewing on this chart.
Every week another indicator points to a MASSIVE ALTS RALLY.
If it plays out, the biggest altseason will hit.
But at this rate… looks like we only get it in 2026. pic.twitter.com/m1axJOQ1zu

Our heroes, forged in loss, stand ready to conquer. Will they? The charts howl yes, you skeptical space cowboys. Strap in.
