Altcoin ‘wildfire’ inbound as trader shuts down bear market fears

A crypto trader has pushed back against claims that altcoin season is already over, arguing that it hasn’t even started yet, as many tokens are still near their local price bottoms. “I don’t understand why people start claiming that a bear market is around the corner,” MN Trading Capital founder Michaël van de Poppe said in a May 28 X post. Calls for altcoin season mount “They are literally on the bottom,” van de Poppe added before stating that the “final easy 12-24 months are coming.” While many altcoins have posted gains over the past 30 days, they remain below their levels from the market uptrend until US President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January. Solana ( SOL ) posted 17.84% gains over the past 30 days, trading at $175.17, but is still down 32% since Jan. 19, according to CoinMarketCap. Meanwhile, XRP ( XRP ) posted gains of 1.98%, trading at $2.31, but is still down 29.35% since Jan. 19. Solana reached an all-time high of $261 on Jan. 19 amid the launch of the Official Trump coin.

Other analysts have echoed similar sentiments to van de Poppe. “Soon, Altcoins will turn into a wildfire,” crypto trader Davinci Jeremie said . Meanwhile, crypto trader Moustache said that “altseason isn’t just a meme. It’s coming ladies & gentleman.” Related: Altcoins’ roaring returns and falling USDT stablecoin dominance suggest ‘altseason’ is here Many crypto market participants believe that the altcoin season will begin after Ether ( ETH ) has a period of outperformance relative to Bitcoin.
