Looking back at the development of the crypto market, the years 2013, 2017, and 2021 all witnessed major bull markets for Bitcoin. Interestingly, the hype around altcoins often truly kicks off in the year following a Bitcoin bull run — this pattern has proven reliable over decades.

Currently, mainstream tokens like ETH, SOL, and PYTH have started to send signals, with their price performance on Christmas Day serving as a prelude to a bull market. For investors aiming for precise positioning, the key is not just to watch from the sidelines but to decide whether to act decisively at the intersection of historical cycles.

2026 is approaching, and the crypto circle is likely to see a spectacular year-end rally at this crossover point. True opportunities often belong to those who dare to act at critical moments, rather than spectators who miss out while hesitating forever.

BTC-0.89%

ETH-0.65%

SOL-0.74%

PYTH-3.21%

ngl the altseason timing theory hits different when you've actually been liquidated before... watched 2017 happen, missed 2021, and honestly? not falling for the fomo again this cycle. eth and sol pumping is nice but check your health factors first fr

The pattern of altcoins exploding after a one-year delay... but it seems like someone always gets cut in each cycle. Whether 2026 can rise is really hard to say; anyway, I'm just waiting to see how high SOL can soar.

Altcoins will have to wait until next year to rise, I've already memorized this routine haha Do you think it's time to get in on this round? People who chase highs based on intuition always regret it year after year Wait, was that Christmas wave really just a prelude? I just want to know how those who dared to take action are doing now It's the same old cycle theory again, what happened to those who listened to this last time

Hey wait, do all altcoins really have to wait until next year? It feels like SOL has already come early this time. I'm just wondering, is the idea of historical cycles reliable, or are we all just trying to find patterns ourselves? Instead of waiting until 2026 for the conclusion, isn't it better to jump in now? After all, it's all a gamble. Opportunities always belong to the brave, but losing money is part of it too, haha. Is PYTH really worth adding to your portfolio? Has anyone already bottomed out? Speaking of, the surge on Christmas day was quite interesting, but will it continue? Is it a bit late to enter now? Let's see what others are doing first.

Damn, it's the same old story. I heard this in 2017 too, and ended up being trapped for three years. Now I'm fully invested, waiting for a rebound.
