Bitcoin Surpasses Previous High of $88,000 Shortly After Reaching $80,000 – Is “Altseason” Approaching?
As Bitcoin achieves unprecedented heights as of Monday morning, members of the cryptocurrency community are pondering: when will the subsequent altcoin season emerge in the market?
Bitcoin Achieves New Heights Amid Altcoin Expectations
Bitcoin surged to $88,000 on November 11, surpassing its previous high of $73,000 from March 2024.
Some analysts attribute the climbing price of Bitcoin to President-elect Donald Trump’s win over Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, prompting many to speculate: will altcoins follow suit?
While Bitcoin season is characterized by soaring demand, altcoin season signifies a phase of swift expansion and volatility for various alternative digital currencies, including Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH).
The year 2024 has already witnessed increased public interest in Bitcoin, primarily due to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approving multiple ETFs associated with the cryptocurrency.
Nevertheless, with Trump’s commitment to dismiss the chair of the federal agency, Gary Gensler, and implement regulations favorable to digital assets, the entire cryptocurrency industry may experience a lift upon his return to the Oval Office.

Crypto Community Observes Altcoin Season
Important elements to evaluate when determining if it is altcoin season include a rise in altcoin dominance, increasing trading volumes, price breakouts for coins, and the altcoin season index.
As per BlockchainCenter.Net, the altcoin season commences when more than 75 percent of altcoins outperform Bitcoin over a minimum three-month period.
The crypto website’s index indicates that the last genuine altcoin season took place in January 2022, with its altcoin rating at 37 as of Monday, November 11.
Interest rate reductions from the Federal Reserve may also bolster altcoin activity, although recent Bitcoin investors and public figures like X CEO Elon Musk have advocated for the complete dissolution of the Federal Reserve Banking System.
Trump, who recently introduced his family’s crypto platform World Liberty Financial, has often highlighted his association with digital assets during his campaign in recent months.

“Who knows, maybe we’ll pay off our $35 trillion,” he remarked to Fox News host Maria Bartiromo during an August 2 interview. “Hand them a little crypto check, right? We’ll hand them a little Bitcoin and wipe away our $35 trillion.”
