When Is the Right Time for Memecoins and Altcoins?
A crypto bull market usually goes through several distinct phases, with each phase driving liquidity and influencing price action. Understanding this cycle helps identify when it’s most effective to enter altcoins or memecoins.
---
1. Bitcoin Phase (BTC)
The market typically begins with Bitcoin leading the rally, as it is the strongest and safest asset.
Institutional investors and large funds usually start with BTC to minimize risk.
Result: Bitcoin dominance rises, while most altcoins remain flat.
---
2. Ethereum Phase (ETH)
Once Bitcoin stabilizes at new highs, liquidity flows into Ethereum.
If ETH breaks a new all-time high (ATH) — for example, above $5,500 — it signals that liquidity is expanding to smart contract networks.
Attention then shifts to projects built on Ethereum and other major chains (Base, Solana, BNB Chain).
---
3. Altcoin Phase
After Ethereum rallies, funds begin rotating into other altcoins.
Altcoins can produce much larger gains (2x–10x) compared to BTC and ETH.
This period is often referred to as Altseason, and it usually brings plenty of opportunities.
---
4. Memecoin Phase
Once profits accumulate and greed takes over, investors start chasing fast multipliers.
Liquidity flows into memecoins like PEPE, SHIB, DOGE, and BRETT.
Memecoins usually mark the final phase of the cycle, as they carry the highest risk and volatility.
Explosive pumps happen quickly — but they can also fade just as fast.
---
How to Know When the Memecoin Season Has Started
1. Ethereum breaks a clear new ATH.
2. Bitcoin dominance starts to fall (indicating funds rotating out of BTC).
3. Sudden unexplained pumps in small-cap tokens appear — a strong sign that Altseason has begun.
---
Conclusion
Right now, the market seems to be in a transition from the Bitcoin phase into the Ethereum phase.
Altcoins may soon begin their run if ETH rallies strongly.
Memecoins haven’t had their moment yet, but their time could arrive soon — especially if Ethereum climbs $5,500.
