Altcoin Market Cap Flashes a Golden Cross -What’s Next?

The altcoin market Cap has flashed a golden cross for the first time since 2021. With this time-tested signal on, could this be the start of a new bull cycle?

A golden cross happens when the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average. Historically, the crypto market has always reacted to this event as a long-term bullish reversal signal. The event triggers massive bull rallies with many altcoins pumping in prices as investor capital shifts toward the altcoins.

The current altcoin market capitalization chart reveals a potential macro bull cycle for the altcoins. Similarly, the altseason index is approaching 25, corresponding to the MCap golden cross on the charts.

What does this mean for the crypto market?

In 2021, a similar MCap technical setup was observed on the charts. Following the golden cross, the altcoin market cap grew 123x, with capital surging from $120 billion to over 500 billion in late 2021. With the altseason index also revealing a shift, the market could be shifting its attention toward altcoins. Over the past 30 days, some altcoins, such as HYPE, have rallied, outperforming major market giants.

Investors could be gradually accumulating altcoins as DeFi activity on networks like Tron shows exponential growth. With substantial capital already flowing into smaller tokens and Bitcoin’s momentum struggling above the $100k mark, the market could be entering the altseason. According to crypto analyst Danny Crypton on X, if historical patterns hold, the projection shows a potential 200x gains as the market rallies toward the $8-$9 trillion by 2026.
