This Is The Longest Bear Cycle In Altcoin History – Opportunity Or Disaster?

Altcoins are still “hibernating” even though Bitcoin has peaked

While Bitcoin continues to set new highs , the altcoin market remains stagnant , not even starting a bull cycle .

According to data from analysts like Cyclop and Crypto Dan, the altcoin bear market has lasted more than 1,200 days — the longest in crypto history .

Investors are therefore even more confused: will the "altcoin season" still happen?

Record wait times shake confidence
According to Cyclop, the capitalization ratio between altcoins (except top 10) and Bitcoin has dropped from 0.5 to 0.11 , indicating strong selling pressure and widespread pessimism .

Crypto Dan even said that the current cycle has lasted for 1,650 days , far exceeding the previous cycle which was only around 1,400 days.

Many investors like Captain Faibik admit to feeling helpless , despite doing their research and choosing the right altcoin.

He said:

“The worst thing is not losing money, but the feeling that nothing can change the outcome . ”

Hoping for the biggest altcoin cycle in history
Despite the prolonged decline, many experts still believe in the altcoin's ability to breakout in 2025 .

Decode believes this could be the “biggest altcoin season ever” after the longest accumulation period in history.

In particular, as financial institutions are gradually shifting from holding Bitcoin to buying ETH and SOL , the participation of institutional money could create a global altcoin season.

However, there is also a warning: if the “altcoin season” really begins, it could also be the end of the overall market bull cycle.
