- OTHERS/BTC chart forms bullish ascending wedge, hinting at major altcoin breakout
- ETH/BTC mimics 2015–2018 cycle, suggesting Ethereum-led altcoin surge ahead
- Altcoins gain momentum as Ethereum, Solana, and XRP outperform Bitcoin’s pace
Altcoins are showing signs of a powerful resurgence, and analysts believe a major shift is underway. The broader crypto market is buzzing with renewed energy as key indicators signal a potential breakout for altcoins against Bitcoin.
Historical patterns, technical setups, and expert insights all point toward a major bullish cycle for altcoins one that could echo or even surpass the explosive growth seen in previous years.
While Bitcoin remains dominant, analysts argue that its outperformance may soon give way to a broader altcoin rally, echoing past cycles where altcoins flourished after extended periods of accumulation and underperformance.
Ascending Wedge Signals Breakout Potential
According to Bitcoinsensus, the OTHERS/BTC chart used to track altcoin performance against Bitcoin has formed a long-term ascending wedge. This pattern is historically bullish, and previous touchpoints back up the argument.
The asset hit major resistance in 2018 and 2021, but crucially, support levels held in 2019, 2020, and again in 2025. Most recently, the chart shows a sharp bounce from support, igniting speculation that a breakout is brewing.
Significantly, Bitcoinsensus emphasizes an explosive yellow projection emerging from the wedge’s lower trendline. This aligns with previous cycles that led to massive altcoin rallies.
If history repeats, this move could trigger a wave of capital shifting from Bitcoin into altcoins. Moreover, the technical setup hints at a potential revaluation of altcoins, possibly setting the stage for new highs as the market heads toward 2027–2028.

ETH/BTC Chart Repeats Familiar Cycle
Adding further weight to this bullish case is analysis from 𝕄𝕠𝕦𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕔ⓗ𝕖, who highlights the ETH/BTC ratio forming a pattern strikingly similar to the 2015–2018 cycle. Ethereum’s performance against Bitcoin appears to be following a cyclical structure. After a long accumulation phase beginning in 2018, the asset now sits in a re-accumulation zone within a falling wedge pattern.
This zone marked as an orange box has historically served as a launchpad. If this pattern holds, Ethereum and other altcoins could be primed for a strong breakout. Resistance near 0.040 and 0.060 BTC will be key to watch, while firm support around 0.023 BTC provides a solid foundation for upward momentum.
