The data shows 70% sentiment leaning bullish on altcoins heading into Q1, yet that optimism masks a deeper concern. Here's the thing—when retail that heavily crowds one side of the trade, it rarely plays out smoothly.

Bad sign. Really bad.

The timing feels off. This kind of consensus rarely materializes without a correction first. My take? Alt season gets pushed further out. Realistically, don't expect the real fireworks until Q2 hits. Could be wrong on the timeline, but the pattern suggests patience beats early entry here. The market needs to shake out the overconfident before altcoins run properly.
