Prominent crypto analyst Gert Van Lagen has shared a positive market prediction hinting that the altseason may soon begin. Based on a fully formed bullish pattern, the Dutch market expert postulates that altcoins are on the edge of a market breakout.\n<\/p>\n

Altcoin Market Tipped To $5.4 Trillion Valuation In Altseason\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The cup-and-handle is a classic bullish continuation pattern in technical analysis. It usually signifies an asset’s potential to continue rising after a period of consolidation. According to Van Lagen, the cup-and-handle pattern has appeared on the altcoin market bi-weekly chart. It consists of a U-shaped price movement (cup), which represents a period of gradual decline and recovery as seen between 2022 to mid 2024.<\/p>\n

Van Lagen explains<\/a> that investors typically accumulate assets during this period, perhaps due to an extended downside market prior to a rebound. This cup movement is followed by the handle, which often resembles a small descending channel as seen in 2025. The handle usually represents a breakout and retest zone, paving the way for the altseason.<\/p>\n

For the altseason to occur, the altcoin market cap must convincingly break above the neckline of the cup-and-handle pattern, which is currently at $813.18 billion.\u00a0If this breakout occurs, inducing an altseason, Van Lagen analysis shows that total altcoin valuation could rise to around $5.4 trillion before 2026, indicating a potential 564% market growth.\n<\/p>\n

Why The Altseason Is Sure To Happen<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In other news, analysts continue to debate the feasibility of an altseason for the current bull cycle.\u00a0 Crypto analyst and Web3 growth manager Cas Abb\u00e9 joined this discussion, highlighting<\/a> three reasons the altseason is certain to come to pass.\u00a0Notably, Cas Abb\u00e9 acknowledges the altseason has been delayed, citing a lack of sufficient liquidity due to a large amount of token unlocks and the ripple effects of the memecoins craze driven by Pumpfun.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the analyst remains confident in the prospects of an altseason due to multiple reasons, one of which is the potential for multiple altcoin ETF approvals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cas Abb\u00e9 explains that the US Securities and Exchange Commission is likely to issue the green light for several altcoin ETFs in Q3\/Q4 of 2025, which holds the final deadline for most of these ETFs. Following these approvals, the analyst predicts a rise in institutional investments, which could produce a rallying effect similar seen with the Bitcoin ETFs in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Abb\u00e9 states the Fed is likely to begin rate cuts in June as well as terminate all quantitative tightening measures. Both moves are expected to be followed by a liquidity injection, untimely creating a risk-on environment in financial markets that will support the growth of altcoins.<\/p>\n

Finally, the Web3 growth manager expects regulatory clarity by Q3\/Q4 2025, which will allow banks to comfortably engage the crypto market, leading to massive liquidity.\u00a0 At press time, the total crypto market remains valued at $2.94 trillion, with altcoins accounting for 36.1% of all investments.<\/p>\n
