There will definitely be another altcoin season. It may not happen until a) you've sold all your alts or b) the alts you are holding have all been delisted. Markets are cruel like that.
The ETHBTC daily chart still looks strong, holding up really well against the dump in BTC. Keeping hope alive....
I expect a ton of folks sold their alts at a terrible loss, and as crypto things tend to go, that means altseason is just around the corner. I'm waiting for what I sold to skyrocket, while my holdings stagnate -- and the crypto gods can laugh in glee.
But the fact that so many junkcoins were delisted probably will be one major reason why I don't think the next altseason will result in a zillion coins all increasing in value, even complete junk. Besides investors being somewhat smarter now, there simply won't be exchanges offering certain coins anymore. And dinky little exchanges usually can't handle the sort of volume we saw in 17.
But if altcoin season does come, I wonder if it'll come top down, or reverse... meaning ETH leads the way, then it trickles down to smaller cap coins. Or mid-smaller cap first? It's been so long I forget how altcoin seasons tend to begin. Or maybe some new alts will spur the charge.
