Will XRP Dethrone Ethereum To Lead This Altcoin Season? | Bitcoinist.com
Altcoin Season Is Coming As XRP Takes Lead
According to crypto analyst Cyptoinsightuk, there are a number of developments that point at a possible altcoin season being on the horizon. The first of these is the performance of Bitcoin as it continues to rally ahead of the rest of the crypto market. So far, with the volume rising, the leading cryptocurrency has been pushing toward new all-time highs.

In the charts shared, this area of dense liquidity is placed at $114,000, reaching which would mean a new all-time high for the Bitcoin price and a continued rise in the dominance before it tops. Once a top is reached on the Bitcoin dominance chart, the altcoin season is expected to start in full bloom.
Instead of Ethereum being expected to lead the start of the altcoin season, the crypto analyst points to how the XRP price has often reacted to moves like this in the past. Notably, despite the Bitcoin price leading the market into deep losses, the XRP price has refused to break below the $2 support.
The range that has plagued the altcoin began back in 2024 and has been around for six months. Previously, when the XRP price has ranged this much, it has often ended in a breakout, similar to what was seen back in October 2024.

Given this, they believe the dominance will begin to fall soon and will do so quickly. In this case, the prices of altcoins like XRP are expected to rip higher, bringing in the next altcoin season. “Just to put things into context of how mental alt coins could go, the “XRP Move” box looks like just a blip, this equated to a 462% rise in $XRP price,” the analyst said.
