Crypto analysts are turning increasingly bullish on altcoins, suggesting that a breakout phase could be imminent as macroeconomic conditions shift.
According to Crypto Rover and Michaël van de Poppe, the conclusion of the Federal Reserve’s quantitative tightening (QT) cycle could ignite the next explosive rally in the altcoin market, a setup reminiscent of early 2020.

Rover’s chart shows that each time quantitative easing (QE) begins, crypto markets, particularly altcoins, enter steep upward trends. He believes the same pattern is now forming again. “Once QT ends… altcoins will explode,” Rover wrote, referencing how liquidity cycles historically align with major crypto rallies.
Van de Poppe echoed this outlook, noting that the current altcoin bear market is the longest in history, lasting nearly four years. He argues that this phase has created extreme undervaluations and investor fatigue, conditions that often precede sharp reversals.
Comparing this cycle to the one in 2019–2020, he points to key indicators like MACD bullish divergence and rising RSI momentum as signs of an approaching recovery.
Van de Poppe emphasizes that adoption is still accelerating and new market participants are entering crypto, calling this “the final easy cycle” before widespread institutional integration. “Everybody hating on altcoins equals everybody should be buying blue chips and sitting on their hands for a year,” he added.
He also highlighted SEI as one of his top portfolio picks, noting that the token is currently retesting strong support and could triple or quadruple against Bitcoin over the next two to four months.
With market sentiment still muted and liquidity poised to return under a potential QE phase, both analysts agree: the stage is set for altcoins to lead the next leg of the crypto bull market.
