The crypto market, like a provincial salon buzzing with gossip and probability, tilts toward the quieter altcoins. The charts murmur of an approaching altcoin season, as if the tea is finally ready. A certain analyst, Trader Tardigrade, points to the TOTAL3 index – that ledger which excludes Bitcoin and Ethereum – and calls it one of the clearest bullish signs seen in years. 😂🤔
If this whisper proves true, the altcoin market cap could rise to 4.37 trillion dollars, a ascent nearly 290% higher than today. One might say the numbers behave like gossip that refuses to stay silent. 😅💹
This Classic Chart Pattern Could Trigger Altcoin Season
According to the ever-practical Trader Tardigrade, the weekly TOTAL3 chart presents a textbook “Cup & Handle” pattern, the kind of figure that hints at a patient rise after a pause. It is, in its way, a polite invitation to faith, not to panic. 😌
The cup has grown slowly, spanning years, from the 2021 highs around $1.13 trillion, sinking to the bear-market low of 2023 near $0.287 trillion, and climbing again to the 2024 highs around $1.16 trillion.
Now, in 2025, the handle forms just below a key resistance, winking at a breakout. If the breakout arrives, the altcoin market could surge to $4.37 trillion, a nearly 290% leap from current levels. 💫📈
Such growth would signal a robust altcoin season, during which altcoins as a chorus might outshine Bitcoin and Ethereum in their quiet competition. 😄
Bitcoin Dominance Drops, Capital Rotates to Altcoins
One of the clearest signals for the altcoin season is Bitcoin’s dominance slipping below 59%, a sign that investors are shifting capital from Bitcoin into the altcoin ballroom. While Bitcoin remains firm above $120,000, the smaller crypto projects are drawing more attention and liquidity. 💸
Analysts also note that the altcoin market has lingered in an unusually long accumulation phase, longer than prior to the 2017 and 2021 altcoin seasons. ⏳
Top Coins Poised For Rally
According to Tardigrade, some leading altcoins, including SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE, SHIB, and their companions, are likely to benefit most from this rally. 🪙

So what’s at stake?
TOTAL3 heading to ~4.37T = nearly +290% growth in alts from current levels.
That kind of expansion implies:
•Large caps (SOL, XRP, ADA) → strong rallies
•Meme coins (DOGE, SHIB) → explosive moves
•Mid/small caps → potential 3-5x plays– Trader Tardigrade (@TATrader_Alan) October 3, 2025
Meanwhile, Solana (SOL), trading around $231, could lead the major coins, with a potential rise toward $1,000 if momentum and ecosystem growth continue. Dogecoin (DOGE), at $0.253, may trigger retail-driven rallies, possibly reaching $1.50 during a peak altcoin cycle. 😅🪙
On top of it, smaller and mid-cap altcoins could see 3-5x gains, echoing historical patterns where capital shifts from Bitcoin and Ethereum into altcoins during market surges. 🧭
