🚨 ALTCOINS ARE MUCH CLOSER TO A BOTTOM THAN A TOP.

Zoom out. Ignore the noise. The macro signals are painting a very different picture than fear-driven timelines suggest.

Most people stare at M2…

But the true leading signal this cycle is the Russell 2000 (IWM) — and it’s screaming risk-on.

📈 IWM JUST CLOSED ITS HIGHEST MONTHLY LEVEL IN HISTORY.

Every time small caps do this, liquidity is rising and markets are willing to take risk.

And historically?

➡️ $BTC runs first

➡️ Altcoins follow shortly after — with aggression.

Look back:

2015

2018

2020-2021

Every time IWM broke or retested big macro levels, BTC pushed higher and alts exploded with a lag.

Today:

IWM is at fresh 2025 highs

while BTC and alts are still lagging below theirs.

That lag is the setup — the same one we saw before the 2020-2021 altcoin mania.

🔥 Important historical fact:

A true multi-year crypto bear market has never started while US small caps were printing new highs.

Bear markets showed up when small caps were weak — not when they were ripping.

🧩 Add the Macro:

The Fed is already cutting rates

Major banks expect QE-style liquidity by 2026

Political pressure is building:

→ “Remove income tax.”

→ “$2,000 tariff dividends.”

Analysts are now modelling a cycle peak in 2026, not 2025

🧠 Bigger Picture:

✔ BTC higher-timeframe structure still bullish

✔ Liquidity rising

✔ Alts tracking US risk assets

✔ Small caps leading — not lagging

✔ Macro tailwinds lining up

This does not look like the start of a long bear market.

It looks like an extended cycle, one where $BTC and alts may still make fresh highs into 2026 if this regime holds.

If you think this was the top—

the market structure strongly disagrees.

🧨 Altcoins are closer to their next major breakout than their final peak
