- Bitcoin’s slide to $64,500 looks less like weakness and more like the start of a fresh altcoin surge.
- History shows Bitcoin dips often fuel altcoin rallies, and 2025 is shaping up as another powerful rotation cycle.
- Strong support levels suggest altcoins could keep climbing as money shifts away from Bitcoin’s recent highs.
Bitcoin is once again at a pivotal stage as volatility rises and altcoins accelerate, fueling what analysts confirm as a new “altseason.” The cryptocurrency trades around $64,500 in September 2025 after retreating from mid-2024 highs near $73,000. Analysts now warn that Bitcoin’s latest decline fits within its multi-year cyclical pattern, often leading to stronger altcoin rallies.
According to Moustache, a well-followed analyst on X, “Altcoinseason will continue. $ETH has already taken the first steps. Everything else ALWAYS comes afterwards.” His statement underscores Bitcoin peaks first before capital rotates into Ethereum and other altcoins. Current market data shows this cycle unfolding again.
Bitcoin’s Historical Price Cycles
Between 2019 and 2025, Bitcoin moved in familiar four-year cycles of big rallies, sharp drops, and altcoin booms. Back in 2019, it mostly hovered around $10,000, with only small gains spilling over into other coins.
Then came the 2020 pandemic crash, which knocked prices down hard before sparking one of Bitcoin’s biggest bull runs. By 2021, Bitcoin shot up to nearly $69,000, while altcoins saw their largest gains ever.
The excitement faded in 2022 and early 2023 as Bitcoin slid into a long downturn, dropping to about $15,500. By late 2023, it began recovering, climbing past $30,000 with strong support from big institutional investors. By mid-2024, Bitcoin hit $73,000, setting the stage for today’s 2025 altcoin boom.
Trading volumes showed investors reacting to major news and government rules. Price levels like $20,000, $40,000, and $60,000 often acted as turning points for the market. In recent years, Bitcoin has spent more time stabilizing after big moves, and each new cycle starts at higher price levels.
Analysts See Opportunity in Altcoins
Crypto analyst Broke Doomer also sees further upside. He noted on X, “Multi year support hitting again in OTHERS/BTC… Everything is perfectly ready for MEGA bull run, targets locked fr 0.55%.” His comments suggest that altcoins could rise significantly as capital rotates further away from Bitcoin.
Moreover, analysts stress that Bitcoin’s cyclical patterns remain intact. Although amplitude varies, the four-year structure continues shaping investor psychology and asset allocation. Current positioning points to a broader altcoin-led expansion phase.
Bitcoin’s decline signals not weakness but rotation. History shows such phases often precede powerful altcoin rallies, making the coming months critical.
