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.

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.

Van Lagen explains 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.


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.  If 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.

In other news, analysts continue to debate the feasibility of an altseason for the current bull cycle.  Crypto analyst and Web3 growth manager Cas Abbé joined this discussion, highlighting three reasons the altseason is certain to come to pass.  Notably, Cas Abbé 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. 


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. 


Cas Abbé 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. 


Furthermore, Abbé 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.


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.  At press time, the total crypto market remains valued at $2.94 trillion, with altcoins accounting for 36.1% of all investments.
