The old norm of “altcoin season” could be over for good, argues cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe. And he proposes a new direction for investment strategy, appropriate for today’s market environment. Van de Poppe stressed the growing divide in investor sentiment. He observed that even with the massive enthusiasm for memecoins in 2024 very few altcoins made all-time highs, and that trend continued into early 2025.

Michaël van de Poppe believes that the current stage of fear and fatigue could ultimately mark the ideal entry point for long-term gains. His analysis suggests that the conventional wisdom of waiting for a specific "altcoin season" might not be the most effective approach in today's market.

Michaël van de Poppe’s bullish analysis should prompt investors to rethink how they are approaching altcoins. Most importantly, he implores everyone to learn to see opportunity where others only see despair—in particular when the market is most pessimistic.
