Cryptocurrency Analyst Reveals Shocking Altcoin Season Forecast

In a series of bold posts on X on January 14, renowned cryptocurrency analyst Miles Deutscher made a shocking prediction related to the long-debated phenomenon of the altcoin season. His comments quickly caught the attention of cryptocurrency analysts, especially as it seemed to challenge, rather than reinforce, the long-term hopes for an altcoin frenzy reminiscent of 2021. RIP Altcoin Season? Deutscher starts his post by acknowledging a recent conversation in the cryptocurrency community about whether the 'altcoin season' could make a comeback. He distinguishes two different interpretations of the term 'altcoin season.' 'Will there ever be another 'altcoin season'? I see a lot of discussion about this on TL,' Deutscher notes. 'First, it depends on your definition of 'altcoin season.' If you're referring to the index, then yes, I hope it will spike again at some point this year.' However, he warns that the possibility of a prolonged euphoric surge like 2021 is extremely unlikely to recur: "If you're talking about the prolonged frenzy of 2021, no. The unique combination of QE/stimulus and stock revaluation in the shape of a V has created conditions that are almost impossible to replicate. Expecting that is a recipe for disaster. The keyword here: 'expecting'. Deutscher's comprehensive advice emphasizes flexibility and preparation rather than relying on prolonged price increases. He supports profit-taking in what he expects to be relatively short altcoin cycles - though he acknowledges the possibility of a sudden price surge: 'If a larger altcoin season DOES happen, that would be fantastic. It would make our job a lot easier and complacency would not be punished as much. Approach it with the mindset that altcoin cycles are only short-lived (which will force you to take profits). In reality, it may not exist in the short term, but at least you are ensuring profits.' He emphasized that cautionary strategies should consider "multiple small cycles or superior narrative groups," highlighting the importance of not expecting a second comeback of market conditions in 2021. Deutscher's final advice revolves around building an investment portfolio and active trading: "Instead of holding everything, have a more focused and reliable asset basket. Place those holdings alongside readiness to trade in profitable arenas (i.e., AI) - but treat them as trades, not holdings." Deutscher's comment is made in response to Ansem's statement, an influential figure in the cryptocurrency space, who asserted: “There will never be alt szn again. There are always groups with extremely superior performance, with people moving down the risk curve cycle but never reaching the levels as before. What is the real reason why BTC.d has not increased and moved right for a decade?" While both analysts believe that a 2021 altcoin season seems unlikely, they emphasize that there are still opportunities in this bull run. "Specific assets/sectors will have crazy price surges when conditions allow. Instead of holding everything and anything, have a more focused and reliable basket of assets," Deutscher concluded. At the time of reporting, the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies excluding Bitcoin (TOTAL2) is $1.34 trillion.
