Altcoins Expected to Reach Peak in October 2025 Based on Historical Trends 546 Days After Halving

When is the anticipated altcoin bull run set to kick off? This inquiry is at the forefront of every investor’s thoughts, but a definitive response remains elusive. Nonetheless, during the most recent episode of Working Channel Money, the analyst highlighted that in the past, altcoins reached their peak precisely 546 days after halving.

If history repeats itself in this cycle, it hints at an altcoin peak around October 2025, aligning with market peak projections. This trend was evident in both 2016 and 2020, and the analyst foresees a similar pattern in 2025.

Nevertheless, certain variables such as cycle acceleration and macro influences could prompt an earlier peak. While basing predictions solely on two instances may seem simplistic, it still indicates that we are in the early stages of the altcoin cycle. At present, Bitcoin dominance is increasing, and altcoins are taking a back seat despite heightened 24-hour trading volumes. Though recent sell-offs have been observed, the market cap remains steady at around $2.45 trillion with a neutral outlook.

Examining the total market cap for altcoins excluding Bitcoin, the analyst noted that it is approximately 60% lower than its peak. Typically, once the peak is reached, altcoins witness a substantial rally. Given the time elapsed since halving, achieving another 60% increase to the peak and subsequent blow-off top could occur within the 546-day timeframe.

For altcoins excluding both Bitcoin and Ethereum, the market cap is roughly 75% below its peak. This indicates significant growth potential. Presently, Bitcoin is trading at around $66,800 with minimal volatility. While the altcoin market recently experienced minor fluctuations, substantial upward movements are anticipated, with potential daily gains ranging from 10-90% during the Euphoria phase.
