It seems that every year in Q4, the altcoin season is kicked off by the "veterans" – the coins that have gone through many market cycles. → In 2024, the leading group is XLM, XRP, and ADA – three names associated with the speculative waves of the previous phase. → In 2025, we will see a similar phenomenon with ZEC and ICP – projects that seemed to have "fallen asleep" suddenly being pulled back strongly, marking the start of a new wave of activity in the altcoin market. If we look at the familiar pattern of Q4, it is highly likely that the next name will come from the "old coin" group like ETC or LTC – coins with a long history, high liquidity, and easy to create FOMO effects. When the market starts looking for opportunities in "forgotten" tokens, it is often a signal that the flow of money is shifting - from large projects to mid-tier coins, and then spreading throughout the market. ➡️ Therefore, observing old coins like ETC, LTC, NEO, or DASH during this stage is noteworthy. Once real money starts flowing into this group, it is very likely that the altcoin season for the end of the year has officially begun.

XRP watchers, here's the setup: $2.41 is the line in the sand right now. Price stays under that? We're probably not done dropping yet. And if we slice through that $2.15 swing low—the one everyone's been eyeing—that's your red flag. Could be signaling another leg down is cooking. Keep those levels bookmarked.
