The ALT/BTC ratio is currently positioning itself at a critical inflection point. Looking back at market history, the last two major breakouts in this ratio preceded the explosive altseason of 2017 and the bull run of 2021—both periods saw alternative cryptocurrencies dramatically outperform Bitcoin.



Given this historical pattern, the question becomes intriguing: could we be on the cusp of another major altseason cycle in 2026? The setup certainly appears compelling. Whether this breakout will trigger a similar magnitude of outperformance across the altcoin space remains to be seen, but the technical alignment is undeniably noteworthy for traders positioning themselves ahead of potential seasonal rotations.
ALT0.52%

Is the 2026 altseason really here? I've already gone all-in on shitcoins.

Here we go again, the three-year cycle curse—2017, 2021 to 2026. What a coincidence... But honestly, this chart does look a bit different this time. Maybe we should just trust history for once.

Will 2026 really see a breakout? I remain skeptical; history repeating itself isn't that simple.

2026 altseason? Wait a moment, this time it's really not the wolf coming, right?

It's still too early for 2026, but this wave of ALT/BTC patterns is indeed interesting. I need to keep an eye on it.
