- Altcoin market cap nears breakout as 2021 resistance flips to support, hinting at a possible parabolic Alt season move.
- RSI and Stochastic RSI flash bullish signals, with momentum building across major altcoins ahead of a potential rally.
- TOTAL2 and TOTAL3 charts align with classic bullish patterns, signaling a strong shift toward altcoin dominance.
Altcoins are back in the spotlight as key charts like TOTAL2 push against 2021 highs. With bullish patterns forming and momentum indicators surging, the Alt market could be on the edge of a powerful breakout. Traders are watching closely.
TOTAL2 Presses Resistance with Strong Bullish Structure
The Altcoin Market Cap, excluding Bitcoin (TOTAL2), is now challenging its 2021 resistance zone. According to data shared by Crypto Crew University, the monthly chart reveals a textbook ascending triangle—typically a bullish continuation pattern. Price has broken out of a rising wedge and is now consolidating near the triangle’s apex.
A key development is the horizontal resistance from 2021, now acting as support. Highlighted in yellow on the chart, this flip from resistance to support is a classic bullish signal. The consolidation phase near the triangle’s upper boundary, coupled with declining volatility, hints at a big move.
Monthly candlesticks have remained stable above this support, suggesting buyer strength. The triangle’s structure aligns with past patterns that preceded explosive rallies, particularly during previous altcoin surges.
Indicators Signal Momentum Surge Ahead of Breakout
Momentum indicators on the monthly timeframe support the bullish case. The Stochastic RSI has made a bullish crossover in overbought territory. Historically, similar crossovers at this level have triggered altcoin rallies of significant magnitude.
Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has pushed into the bullish control zone. It has broken above horizontal resistance, supported by green arrows on the chart, indicating strengthening momentum.
These signals point to a market environment ripe for an upward breakout. If price closes above the triangle resistance with increasing volume, it could trigger a parabolic move across the altcoin space.
Altseason Signals Align Across Charts and Metrics
The trend isn’t isolated to TOTAL2, a Cup and Handle pattern forming on the TOTAL3 chart (altcoin market cap excluding BTC and ETH). This pattern, known for its bullish bias, suggests a shift of capital into mid and small-cap altcoins.
Further confirmation comes from the Altcoin Season Index shared by Alphractal. As of October 3, 2025, the index is climbing but has yet to cross the 75% threshold, which marks full-blown altseason. Historically, altcoins surge when Bitcoin consolidates or moves slowly—signs that are appearing once again.
If Bitcoin holds or slightly retreats, altcoins could lead the charge. Watch for volume spikes and monthly closes above key resistance as final confirmation.
