The last major bull cycle in 2023–2024 delivered 5x–20x gains as ETFs, regulation progress, and institutional money fueled a strong uptrend. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana became hotspots for meme coins and new L1/L2 projects, with many tokens pumping 10x+ in days.
Today, most of those assets sit near cycle lows. Liquidity is thin, traders are cautious, and leverage has been flushed.
🔮 What’s Next?
2026 could mark early recovery, but only a small percentage of projects may move. The real altseason is more likely around 2027–2028, aligned with the next Bitcoin halving.
If Bitcoin breaks above its previous $124K high, a move toward $190K–$250K could expand total market cap and ignite a broad altcoin rally.
⚠️ Accumulate Smart
This is an accumulation phase — but not for everything.
Projects with heavy token inflation or constant unlocks may underperform. Tokenomics matter.
Meme coins remain the fastest movers, driven by liquidity and community, with Solana, BNB Chain, and new platforms competing aggressively.
📌 Bottom Line
The biggest gains usually come before the crowd returns.
2026 = accumulation window
2027–2028 = potential altseason peak
