WHAT IF THE REAL ALTSEASON STARTS IN JAN 2026?
Alts can start up with good rally
Take a step back and look at the bigger picture.
The OTHERS dominance chart is sitting near the same base zones where major altcoin cycles began before — in 2017 and again in 2020 ahead of the 2021 altseason. Right now, momentum indicators tell a familiar story: MACD flattening, RSI at historical lows. In past cycles, this setup appeared before multi-year expansions in alt dominance. That suggests altcoins are far closer to a bottom than a top.
History adds more clarity.
In late 2019, when the Fed signaled the end of QT and began T-bill purchases, altcoins quietly started trending. That liquidity expansion eventually turned into full QE in 2020, and the cycle only topped when tightening returned in 2022.
Over the last four years, altcoins stayed weak despite Bitcoin’s strength — mainly because liquidity was being drained, which always hurts alts the most.
Now, conditions are shifting again.
• Liquidity injections have restarted
• ~$40B/month T-bill buying is underway
• Markets are pricing more liquidity ahead, not less
Add to this rising small caps (Russell 2000), expectations of fiscal stimulus, and a potentially more growth-focused Fed leadership — and the picture becomes clearer.
This cycle isn’t about hype or timing the 4-year pattern.
It’s about liquidity.
If OTHERS dominance returns to 12–13%, we get a strong altseason.
If it pushes 18–20% in 2026, it could be the biggest altseason in history.
Liquidity always leads — and altcoins feel it first.
