Crypto Analyst Begins Countdown To Altcoin Season Of 2025, You Won’t Believe How Close It Is
Many crypto analysts and investors are still eagerly anticipating the arrival of a full-blown altcoin season in this market cycle. While some surges have been observed in individual altcoins like Solana and XRP, the broader alt market has yet to see the kind of explosive rally that characterizes an official altcoin season.
This delay is largely attributed to Bitcoin’s continued dominance, which has remained strong despite periodic pullbacks. However, one analyst has now begun the countdown, predicting that the long-awaited altseason is just days away.
Crypto Analyst Predicts Altcoin Season Will Begin In Just Three Days
Bitcoin dominance is still near cycle highs and the market has yet to confirm a definitive shift, but technical analysis suggest that altcoins may soon gain momentum. According to the Bitcoin Dominance Chart from Coinmarketcap, Bitcoin’s dominance is currently at 60.2%, having recently reached a multi-year high of 61% on February 8.
However, according to a crypto analyst known pseudonymously as Pepa (@moonshilla) on social media X, the next official altcoin season is about to kick off within the next three days. Taking to the social media platform to start the countdown, the analyst noted that alts have three days and seven hours before lift-off.
The post was accompanied by a chart of the total altcoin market cap against Bitcoin (OTHERS/BTC), showing that the price action recently touched the lower trendline of a multiyear ascending channel. This trendline has historically been a key inflection point, with a bounce from here preceding the last two altseasons in previous cycles. If the pattern holds, a strong reversal to the upside could be in play for the altcoin market cap.
Historical Patterns Suggest February 14 Could Be The Start
Backing up the prediction, Pepa pointed to historical trends in previous market cycles. In an earlier post, the analyst laid out a timeline of past altcoin seasons, noting that major alt surges have occurred in the year after Bitcoin’s halving event.
According to this data, the first altcoin season began on February 14, 2017, following the 2016 Bitcoin halving. The second alteason kicked off on January 1, 2021, after the 2020 halving. Now, the next projected start date for altcoin season is February 14, 2025, and we could see a potential repeat of the 2017 cycle. Interestingly, this observation is based on a 44-day chart, with the next 44-day candle set to open in just five days.
Despite the analyst’s countdown, alteason cannot truly materialize until Bitcoin dominance begins to weaken. Currently, Bitcoin dominance sits near multi-year highs, meaning that BTC continues to attract most of the capital inflows as it looks to break above $100,000 again.
Additionally, Ethereum’s performance relative to Bitcoin has historically been a precursor to broader altcoin rallies. If ETH/BTC shows strength, it could confirm that the market is shifting in favor of alts. At the time of writing, Ethereum is testing a key support on the ETH/BTC price chart. A bounce from here could be the first step in a new altseason.

The Pi Network core team has made a major announcement adding two-factor authentication (2FA), mandatory for the Pioneers to implement for a successful migration to the mainnet blockchain. Amid this announcement, the Pi Coin price has bounced back from the crucial support of $1.0, in a relief recovery for investors.
Pi Network Introduces 2FA Security for Wallet Confirmation
To further enhance the security of its wallets, Pi Network has introduced two-factor authentication (2FA), which will allow for a smooth migration for the mainnet blockchain. The new feature requires selected Pioneers to complete 2FA via a trusted email before their Pi balance is successfully migrated to the Mainnet.
The Pi Core team stated that the 2FA security aims to secure Pioneers’ wallets and accounts by adding an extra layer of protection. For Pioneers who recently migrated their Pi but remain within the 14-day pending period, completing 2FA is now mandatory.
In the case, the Pioneers fail to complete the 2FA process, Pi Network will securely return the Pi Coins to their mining app. However, on successfully completing the 2FA process, the user balance will be re-migrated to the Mainnet without any loss. The official announcement from the Pi Core team reads:
“2FA and the Pi “return” features are meant to ensure, as much as possible, the security of Pioneers’ Pi and accounts. Due to the nature of blockchain where transactions are immutable and the Pi Wallet is noncustodial, these features provide extra caution and make sure that Pi is sent to the rightful Wallet owner”.
Will Pi Coin Price Regain $2 Very Soon?
Over the last week, the Pi Coin price has come under severe selling pressure down y 23% on the weekly chart. With its market cap slipping under $8 billion, the altcoin has now slipped from the 11th spot to now at the 16th spot. Also, the daily trading volume for Pi Coin is up by 15.87% to $600 million.
Despite this development, market analysts continue to be bullish about the altcoin. Pi Coin’s 15-minute price chart displays a symmetrical triangle pattern, thereby hinting at an imminent breakout.
Bullish Scenario: A breakout above the key resistance level at 1.2 could propel Pi Coin’s price toward the 1.25–1.30 range in the short term. Strong buyer volume could further amplify momentum, leading to higher gains.
Bearish Scenario: If Pi Coin fails to breach the resistance and drops below the support level near 1.10, the price may revisit lower levels around 1.05–1.02.
Token Unlock and Listing Delays
The price of Pi Network’s native token is experiencing heightened volatility as data from PiScan reveals that nearly 129 million Pi Coins—valued at approximately $175 million— will be released this month. Such large unlock events often lead to increased selling pressure, sparking concerns that Pi Coin could drop below the critical $1 threshold.
Furthermore, the community is still waiting for big exchange listings for PI. Binance has not confirmed any plans to list Pi Coin, leaving speculation and market unease to dominate discussions.

Dogecoin’s price is ambling toward the $0.29 mark after a previous correction that saw it erase its gains. While the broader trend for DOGE remains bearish, analysts are confident of a short-term rally to reclaim its one-month high.
Dogecoin Price Targets Breakout To $0.29
As bears stamp their authority in DOGE, there is rippling optimism that the dog-themed cryptocurrency could see a rally. According to an X post by Igor Bondarenko, Dogecoin’s price can go as high as $0.29 in the short term.
Bodarenko hinges his prediction on DOGE approaching its 20-day exponential moving average (EMA). As the dog-themed project inches toward the EMA, pundits say it may be a support level for traders entering the space.
On the flip side, a failure to break the EMA level could spell doom for the beleaguered asset. Per Bondarenko, Dogecoin prices may fall as low as $0.10 in the near future.
“A breakout could drive DOGE to $0.23 and $0.29,” said Bodarenko. “If rejected, a drop below $0.14 could send it to $0.10.
Long-term predictions for Dogecoin prices are fairly upbeat with one analyst predicting DOGE to hit $20 in the coming months. At the moment, Dogecoin price sits at $0.16 and has gained over 6% over the last 7 days.
On-chain Indicators Scream Promise For Dogecoin
While short-term technicals are predicting a small spike in Dogecoin’s value, on-chain indicators are pointing to a seismic leap. For one, DOGE address activity has soared to 1 million unique users with active addresses spiking by 400%.
Furthermore, fundamentals are indicating potential for a rally as high as $50. The filing of a DOGE ETF application by BlackRock may be the trigger for a seismic rally for the memecoin. Other institutional players are watching the space with keen interest as the assets move from memecoin to begin clutching at real-world applications.
Pseudonymous cryptocurrency analysts DOGECAPITAL and Trader Tardigrade remain optimistic in their prediction that DOGE can clinch $80, citing cyclical patterns from 2021.
“If historical trends repeat, Dogecoin is likely to begin its upward reversal soon, entering phase 2 of its parabolic rise,” said DOGECAPITAL

The Cardano price is showing bullish signals as analysts identify a potential double-bottom pattern on its weekly chart. After a prolonged downtrend, the cryptocurrency has entered an accumulation phase, suggesting that selling pressure is easing while buyers begin stepping in. Analysts highlight $0.70 as a key support level, which, if maintained, could drive the altcoin price toward the $1.00 mark.
Cardano Price Forms Double Bottom Pattern, What’s Next?
According to analysts Crypto Lycus, the Cardano price is exhibiting signs of forming a double bottom pattern on the weekly chart. This technical formation typically indicates strong support and suggests a potential reversal from the prolonged bearish trend. The pattern reflects a period where the price has tested a lower boundary twice, signaling that buyers are stepping in at key support levels.
A breakout above $0.70 is crucial for ADA, as sustaining this level could provide the momentum needed for further upward movement. If buying pressure continues to build, the next target for the top altcoin would be the resistance at $1.00.
If ADA fails to hold above the support level, a retest of lower price zones between $0.50 and $0.40 remains a possibility. However, analysts suggest that the overall sentiment remains optimistic, with accumulation taking place at current levels.
ADA Breaks Out of Descending Wedge
Additionally, analyst AMCryptoAlex has identified a descending wedge breakout on the Cardano price chart, reinforcing bullish momentum. This pattern is often associated with a reversal, where a downward-sloping trendline meets a narrowing support base before an eventual breakout to the upside.
Following a prolonged consolidation, Cardano has successfully breached resistance, confirming a potential trend shift. The breakout has been accompanied by increased trading volume, further validating the move. Investors are closely watching whether the price can sustain this newfound strength or encounter resistance at higher levels.
If bullish momentum continues, the top altcoin may establish a new support base, paving the way for higher price targets.
Market Sentiment Remains Optimistic
Although most other cryptos are trading in a bearish territory dragged by changes in market trends Cardano has been relatively stable. Some of the altcoins have reversed lower in their gains, but ADA has remained rather resilient which signal massive investor interest.
Analysts note that the absence of heavy selling at the current prices indicates that buyers are holding on to their positions. Backing the bulls’ argument, ADA whales have remained confident by holding 40 million ADA. This large-scale purchase indicates that institutional investors are beginning to invest; this could indeed take the Cardano price to the $1 level that many expect.
Traders are watching $ 0.70 as the pivotal support level. Reaching and maintaining above it might comprise the Cardano price reaching the $1 mark. Further upward movement may be signified by a successful breach of this level, which will give conformation of a trend reversal.
