if new big money failed to enter altcoins I wonder where the pump will come from

Yes that is the way that bull happen. Bull don't come just like that without no factor pushing it. When the whales decide to leave out the big coins and start buying more of altcoins, then the bull will happen and pulling out, become the bear. This is simply most of how it fluctuates. This time is a bull run for bitcoin hitting $42k, we can expect bull for altcoins soon .

Sovryn - Brings DeFi to Bitcoin

All we can do is make guesses here and there, this bull season isn't like what we've seen in the past that's why I believe things can be different this time around, big whales also have a part to play in every altcoin season I believe, if new big money failed to enter altcoins I wonder where the pump will come from

This might be difficult to answer correctly, because normally for altcoin season to start, Bitcoin dominance needs to drop, and this drop would mean that funds are now migrating from Bitcoin to Altcoins, this will also put a stop to Bitcoin growth while causing it to keep dropping in price while altcoins keeps rising. But nowadays, we are experiencing a different thing altogether, that is, although Bitcoin price is still rising, altcoins are also on the rise with it at least we have seen the growth of top coins like Ethereum. Therefore, I think what controls the market is institutional investors who are after their desired coins in addition to Bitcoin as well, because there is no way to explain why both Bitcoin and altcoins would be growing at the same time. And lastly, the usual scenario where Bitcoin would stop and altcoins will take over might not happen, because it is very clear that more attention is still on Bitcoin, therefore invest the best way you can but be wise about it.

I've been seeing lots of posts here and on twitter about altcoin season. But other than a backward-looking phrase (that's not useful for forward trades), what is alt season? Are there times when alts pump and, crucically, we can predict alts will pump even more? Or is it purely "hindsight is 20/20" way of looking coin prices?

The longer I follow the cryptocurrency market, the more I get the feeling that the market is run by the big players in collusion. In 2017-18, at least the information background was adjusted to the collapse of the market. Now the market is dropping by 20 percent for no reason, because the big players decided to take profits. It's the same with the altseason - many large ones have left Bitcoin now, perhaps they will start pumping Ethereum or small projects. Everything will end as before, the big ones will earn a lot and the market will collapse for a couple of years.

Altcoin seasons are driven by speculation and hype, nothing more, when you see the price of bitcoin going up for the most part there is a fundamental reason for it to happen, in 2017 it was because the segwit update was finally implemented despite the opposition of the miners, and the current rally is being impulsed by institutional investors coming to the market because they are losing trust in fiat currencies, but altcoin seasons happen just because of speculation and they can happen while there is a bitcoin bull run but they can also begin on their own when a new way to get money or a supposedly new technology emerges.

Please allow me to repeat with small edit "Altcoin or bitcoin seasons "are driven by speculation and hype", more correct to generalize it as that. People in the market have different types: investors, speculators, traders and they all want to get more money back from their initial capital.

Ridiculously, the market don't mind who are in the market and what they want to do in or earn from a market. It only operates with its own rule (that can be manipulated) and redistribute the wealth (the capital) from the most to the least members. It is true for any financial market (stocks, real estates, gold, crypto market).

There is capital flow in the crypto market and it switches periodically from bitcoin to altcoins and altcoins will have their seasons. In middle of 2019, there was a season for DeFi tokens (they are altcoins but are new altcoins). I am waiting for another season for old altcoins in 2021.

Altcoin season is the season for altcoin to be pumped massively, it says that whole of altcoins will be on the bullish trend.
We can't predict the altcoin pump but it already happened since bitcoin has pumped so hard. The pump of altcoin will also depend on the bitcoin.
Bitcoin is the only reason that was driving the altcoin pump. I see no reason other than it considers when bitcoin pumps and this will give a massive impact on the altcoin market. you should have learned about the correlation between altcoin and bitcoin.

Knowing prices when its already there but to know on what it would like or what would happen ahead then its never been known and this is what makes this market unpredictable.
Lots do call out about altcoin season but this isnt really happening as of this moment as the market do mainly focus with bitcoin and some top alts in the market.
Those low caps doesnt really get some attention but at least some of them did really have some small percentage rise but doesnt really indicate that this is an altcoin season.
The market had focused mainly on the king of crypto itself and this isnt something that we had seen in 2017. What drives alt season? It always matter on the demand and interest.

The only prediction that we can give for the altcoin season coming is every after bitcoin's bullish turn. That's the cycle that we've seen before and that season is the pump for altcoins. You may have noticed that it did pump after bitcoin got into $42k and turned low after it has hit that ATH. You can predict as much as you can in alts, there's nothing wrong in predicting as it's just a guess for the price which or which not shall happen anytime soon.
