- Michaël van de Poppe calls $SEI a pivotal accumulation zone after 80%+ drawdown from ATH.
- He expects a massive upward leg for Sei in the upcoming weeks, marking it as one of his highest-conviction alts.
- Van de Poppe reminds the market that “altcoins have suffered a lot and then went down substantially” – classic setup before violent reversals.
Michaël van de Poppe, one of the most respected macro analysts in crypto with over 750k followers, just put the entire market on notice: Sei Network’s native token $SEI is sitting at a generational bottom and is “ready for a big leg upwards” in the coming weeks. In a tweet that instantly hit 70k+ views, the Dutch trader laid out the thesis with characteristic bluntness: “Yes, #Altcoins have suffered a lot and they went down substantially. That doesn’t mean that will continue to be like that.” Attached was a clean monthly chart showing $SEI perfectly kissing the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement of its entire bull run—an area that marked major lows in virtually every previous cycle for high-beta layer-1s.Sei has been brutalized in 2025, down over 83% from its January all-time high near $1.20 and trading around $0.19–$0.21 at press time. Yet beneath the price pain, fundamentals have never been stronger: Sei V2 (the parallelized EVM upgrade) went live in Q3, delivering 28,000+ TPS claims and sub-400ms finality, turning it into the fastest EVM-compatible chain on the planet. TVL exploded from $300M to over $2.1B in four months, propelled by native yield protocols like Silo, Levana, and DragonSwap.
Van de Poppe’s call aligns with a growing chorus of on-chain signals: exchange supply of $SEI has plummeted 42% since September as whales move to cold storage, staking ratio just crossed 68%, and open interest on perpetuals is rebuilding with positive funding—classic pre-breakout behavior.
For those who lived through 2020–2021, the setup is eerily familiar. Cosmos ecosystem tokens (INJ, TIA, and now SEI) tend to lag Bitcoin’s rally before detonating 10–30x in compressed altseason windows. If Bitcoin dominance cracks below 58% as many expect, capital rotation into high-throughput layer-1s could be ferocious.
Van de Poppe didn’t give an exact target, but his history of 5–10x calls on similar setups (INJ at $1.60 → $52, TIA at $2.20 → $43) speaks for itself. Bottom line: the pain trade for alts may finally be over. When Michaël van de Poppe says a coin is at a “pivotal point” and ready for its “big leg,” smart money listens. $SEI bulls are loading the boat.
