- Ethereum’s bullish MACD crossover signals a potential altseason as historical patterns show strong post-crossover rallies across altcoins.
- Bitcoin dominance correction and USDT breakdown suggest capital is rotating into altcoins, sparking the next crypto market rally.
- Market analysts confirm Ethereum’s cycle bottom and repeating dominance patterns as strong indicators of an incoming altcoin breakout.
Altcoin investors could soon witness a major breakout. Key technical signals suggest a strong shift from Bitcoin to Ethereum and other altcoins. This momentum is building as USDT dominance breaks its pattern and Ethereum shows historical strength against Bitcoin. Traders like Moustache and Merlijn are sounding the alarm now.
According to their analysis, the crypto market is entering a new rotation phase that historically fuels massive altcoin rallies. Ethereum vs Bitcoin has just printed a cycle-low bullish MACD crossover, and Bitcoin dominance is entering another predictable correction phase. All signs are flashing green for altcoins.
Moustache points to a crucial breakdown in the USDT dominance chart. It has fallen out of a 7-month ascending broadening wedge. This indicates that fear in the market is fading. USDT is typically held when traders are unsure. Once they gain confidence, they rotate funds into coins like Ethereum and altcoins.

Bitcoin dominance, sitting at 54.37%, is now slightly falling. It is repeating a long-standing pattern where capital moves away from Bitcoin during certain cycles. This correction, the fifth since 2023, is showing up in July–August 2025.
Ethereum Signals Altseason
Besides, Merlijn’s ETH/BTC chart shows a critical historical signal. Ethereum has just formed a bullish MACD crossover at its lowest ratio against Bitcoin. This event only appears once every cycle. Previously, it triggered massive 5x to 20x altcoin rallies in 2017 and 2021. Currently, Ethereum trades at 0.03071 BTC, down over 5%, yet this decline may mark the bottom. Historically, these lows led to major recoveries in Ethereum’s strength.

Moreover, Merlijn outlines how Ethereum underperformed Bitcoin for 12–18 months after previous altseason peaks. Now, it appears to be reversing. The green momentum crossover further supports that Ethereum may begin to outperform again. Consequently, traders see this as a potential setup for the next altseason.
Market Rotation Gains Momentum
Additionally, the repeating correction structure in Bitcoin dominance highlights investor behavior. During these phases, altcoins tend to rally as traders seek higher gains. Hence, the signs are aligning for a powerful altcoin push. Analysts believe this rotation is part of a growing trend as the crypto market matures. If history repeats, altcoins may soon surge across the board.
