Altcoins About to Break Out – The Next Big Crypto Bull Run Is Coming
Michaël van de Poppe, a well-known crypto market analyst, believes the altcoin market may be preparing for a sharp turnaround after months of weak price action.
He outlined a recurring cycle that appears to be repeating itself once again.
According to him, altcoins typically bottom out in June, followed by a fake upward move during the summer before a correction hits in August. From there, a strong bull phase usually begins, stretching into February or March, with potential gains ranging from 400% to 900%.
He noted that the current setup looks strikingly similar to past cycles, suggesting that the next leg higher could already be forming.
Technical Breakouts Yet to Come
Van de Poppe explained that altcoins are still struggling to break through crucial moving averages, which act as resistance points on the charts. Once these barriers fall, he expects momentum to shift rapidly, creating a wave of buying pressure.
He projects this transition could happen within the next four to six weeks, potentially setting off a powerful market-wide rally.
Price Speculation: How High Could Altcoins Go?
If historical patterns play out, altcoins could deliver extraordinary gains during the upcoming cycle. The analyst believes rallies in the range of 400% to 900% are possible between late 2025 and early 2026.
Some traders are already pointing to undervalued tokens that could outperform once liquidity rotates away from Bitcoin and Ethereum. If Bitcoin maintains its current levels, capital could start flowing into smaller-cap projects, accelerating the next stage of the bull market.
Risks of Another Pullback
Despite the optimism, risks remain. If altcoins fail to break above key technical levels, the expected rally may be delayed or even invalidated. Corrections like the one seen in August often shake out weaker hands before real momentum begins, but prolonged stagnation could dampen investor sentiment.
Macro factors also pose a risk, including regulatory developments and potential volatility in Bitcoin, which continues to drive the broader crypto market’s direction.
Investor Outlook
For now, analysts like Van de Poppe argue that patience is critical. Altcoins appear to be nearing a pivotal moment, but confirmation will only come once trendlines are broken and momentum accelerates. If that happens, the final quarter of 2025 could usher in one of the strongest altcoin rallies seen in recent years.

That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
