- He views current correction as momentum-building phase; altcoins stayed static since late 2023 after December 2024 macro shock.
- Aligning crypto with business cycles, he argues each bull extends longer, bear phases lengthen, yet corrections still occur.
Cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe anticipates the conclusion of the altcoin bear market. He projects a bull run for alternative cryptocurrencies extending through one or two years.
“Yes, we do have corrections, but we’ve also been seeing stagnant periods for months and months before a new leg upwards.
The analyst indicates the broader digital asset market retains additional growth capacity. This assessment includes both Bitcoin and Ethereum. He acknowledges market corrections occur but references extended stagnant phases that frequently precede upward movements.
If #Bitcoin breaks further upwards, I assume we'll continue to see strength on the #Altcoin markets.
The macroeconomics are changing and the returns are going to be in crypto.

Van de Poppe cites three specific factors supporting his analysis. Current metrics do not indicate a market peak has been reached. General investor sentiment does not suggest assets are overvalued. Exponential moving averages fail to show proximity to a cycle high.
He characterizes the present correction as a period of building momentum. This phase often generates doubt among participants despite forming the foundation for future breakouts. His observation notes altcoins have remained largely static since late 2023.
The analyst references a macroeconomic shift during December 2024 that impacted digital assets. This development triggered substantial declines across alternative cryptocurrencies. The resulting market conditions created widespread expectation that altcoins would remain inactive.
Van de Poppe counters this assumption by declaring the bear market concluded. He aligns cryptocurrency cycles with broader economic business cycles. His analysis suggests every bull market exceeds the duration of its predecessor, with bear markets correspondingly lengthening.
