Ripple’s XRP, Shiba Inu, Cardano, Solana Altcoin Season Explosion Set to Kick Off

Altcoin season, a period when alternative cryptocurrencies outperform the leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, is expected to kick off earlier than anticipated. In a post shared on X, a pseudonymous analyst has outlined the many factors that validate a buildup to the highly anticipated altcoin season. Although the previous altcoin season was expected to kick off in December 2024 and run into January 2025, onlookers may need to prepare for this week and the one ahead. “We’re deep into 2025, still awaiting that long-anticipated altcoin season. Hopes were high after Donald Trump’s inauguration last December and the 2024 Bitcoin halving.” He wrote , after noting that the shakeout phase—a period when investors exit the market- has come to an end. While the broader crypto market is critical of President Donald Trump’s tariff hike and its negative impact on the crypto market, the analyst is taking an interesting stance. Using economic pressure to influence the Feds, the President is likely staging “one last shakeout,” which could, in turn, result in record-breaking market highs for digital currencies and the traditional finance market. Altcoins sustain bullish momentum, weekly gains are intact Historically, BTC dominance typically reaches a key 70% zone before peaking for every market cycle. However, with the macro bearish waves persisting, the analyst observed that Bitcoin still has room to run before passing the torch to altcoins—a move that could kick off any moment now. Capitals are later expected to rotate to altcoins, thereby fueling an altcoin bull rally. The weekend has kicked off with the crypto market successfully shedding off weekly losses. Leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin sits above the $95,292 price levels—a critical position that places the asset on the path to $100,000. Meanwhile, leading altcoins XRP, ETH, and SOL, which have experienced a decent week, are closing with weekly gains of 6.87%, 13.67%, and 14.46%, respectively.
