Alt Season 2026 Won’t Be What Most Expect
Right now, everyone seems convinced:
“This time is different.”
“Bear markets are over.”
“We’re still early.”
“Alt season will be massive.”

And that’s exactly the problem.
Every real alt season began when:
Nobody trusted the trend
Most traders were underexposed
Confidence felt uncomfortable
Not when timelines lined up perfectly. Sure, the setup looks familiar:
Macro base → golden cross → expansion
But markets punish certainty, not repeat it.
The most dangerous phase isn’t the crash.
It’s when everyone feels safe being bullish.

Early feels lonely. Late feels obvious.
And by the time it feels obvious… the real money has already rotated.
