Altcoins sitting right at the edge of a MACD breakout from the downtrend. Structure mirrors what we saw in 2017 and 2021 — same cyclical setup, same compression before expansion.
Let's break this down. When MACD crosses above the signal line after extended downtrend compression, it's your first structural confirmation that momentum is shifting. Not a guarantee, but a setup worth watching. In both prior cycles, this crossover preceded sustained alt rallies.
What confirms it? You want to see:
- MACD histogram flipping positive
- Price breaking above key resistance with volume
- BTC dominance rolling over (alts outperform when BTC.D falls)
What invalidates it? MACD fails to hold the crossover, price rejects at resistance, BTC dominance keeps climbing.
Right now, we're in the setup phase. The pattern is there. The structure is clean. But we need confirmation before calling the breakout. Watch for that MACD follow-through and volume surge on the move.
This is textbook cyclical rotation. If it plays out like '17 and '21, we're early. If it fails, we wait for the next setup. Structure over speculation.
