Emerging Opportunities in the Altcoin Sector
On August 29, Raoul Pal highlighted the potential of Total3, a metric that tracks the performance of cryptocurrencies excluding the giants Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). According to him, Total3 is nearing an exit from this waiting phase, signaling a potential rise in altcoin activity.
Upcoming Altcoin Season
Pal pointed out that altcoins beyond the top 10 are gearing up for what he considers a true altcoin season. This wave of activity might require some patience, as it could take time before these digital assets fully realize their potential.
Individual Asset Movements
Among individual cryptocurrencies, Ethereum (ETH) is already showing signs of movement. Meanwhile, Solana (SOL) is anticipated to follow as the next breakout star. Other tokens such as Sui (SUI), Dogecoin (DOGE), and XRP remain in the waiting room but are expected to join the momentum once the broader altcoin market gains traction. Notably, XRP is in the midst of transitioning into a complete cycle move.
Key Catalysts for Cryptocurrency Growth
Pal emphasizes that the macroeconomic environment remains highly favorable for the growth of digital assets. A surge in global liquidity—driven by the need for significant economies like the U.S., Europe, China, and Japan to manage substantial debt loads—creates what he describes as an “absurdly bullish” scenario for cryptocurrencies.
Increasing Global Liquidity
The total global liquidity index is on the rise, with major economic players needing to roll over debts. This liquidity surge, coupled with regulatory changes, advancements in digital asset technology, and sovereign accumulation, sets the stage for unprecedented growth. Wall Street’s growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies further bolsters this outlook.
Extended Crypto Cycle Predictions
Utilizing the Global Macro Investor (GMI) framework, which analyzes over a thousand key charts, Pal predicts that the current crypto cycle could extend into the first quarter of 2026 and potentially beyond. This extended period of growth is expected to be driven by prolonged business cycle dynamics and ongoing liquidity injections.
