On Sunday, October 5th, Bitcoin reached a new all-time high, exceeding $125,000 and peaking at $125,700. Unlike past cycles, this milestone represents a more prolonged and stable rise for BTC. Analysts suggest that this could be the beginning of a larger upward trend that will continue into the next year. What do the experts say about this trajectory?
2025 Altcoin Surge
An analyst known as EllioTrades comments that small‑cap companies are entering an explosive phase similar to what was witnessed in the last quarter of 2020. Much has been written about the connection between the Russell 2000 and the altcoin surge, and EllioTrades uses this as evidence that the 2025 altcoin surge is on the horizon.
“Evidence suggests that the alt season is really coming. Small‑cap stocks are about to explode for the first time since Q4 of 2020. If you had a time machine to go back to that moment, you would. But that’s not necessary because that moment has come again. The Super Cycle is beginning. For those missing the context, the rise of small‑cap stocks indicates major institutions are stepping away from the risk curve. Considering the connection between stocks and crypto in this cycle, increased interest in riskier assets will likely boost cryptocurrencies.”
Historically, the rise of the Russell 2000 has often coincided with altcoin surges. With interest rates declining and market appetites growing, it wouldn’t be surprising for capital to shift from saturated alternatives to more volatile assets.
Altcoin Surge Begins
A second analyst, Miles Deutscher, reminds investors of a truth experienced by many seasoned investors. After Bitcoin sets new highs, it often reaches a saturation point, leading to sales. The capital that exits Bitcoin during this phase often flows into assets that have yet to experience significant growth. Altcoins usually experience parabolic rises during such periods.
“If you haven’t significantly invested in BTC but have over‑invested in altcoins, don’t worry. Be grateful for Bitcoin’s rise. Bitcoin’s increasing value is exactly what you need to set the stage for the next altcoin rotation.” – Miles Deutscher
