$ETH breaks through the 3000 mark, $BTC hits a new high, will alt season come this time?

The cryptocurrency market has shown strong upward momentum during this period, with major assets like BTC and ETH reaching new highs, marking the market's entry into an accelerated phase. Meanwhile, the altcoin market, which had been quiet for a while, has also seen a significant recovery, with several coins recording double-digit gains, reflecting an overall increase in market activity. Investor sentiment has noticeably improved, and the Fear and Greed Index, which measures market sentiment, is currently in the greed zone.

The factors driving this round of price increase are multifaceted. The easing of global trade tensions (such as the weakening of tariff impacts), the continuous investment by large institutional investors in the cryptocurrency space, and the positive expectations regarding potential interest rate cuts by major economies have collectively injected upward momentum into the market. Among them, ETH's performance is particularly notable, successfully breaking through the key psychological level of 3000 USD, demonstrating strong rebound strength; however, analysts also point out that it still faces some profit-taking selling pressure above.

As market enthusiasm rises, the risks of derivative trading are also accumulating. Recently, the amount of liquidation has increased, primarily driven by short positions, indicating that investors need to maintain risk awareness even amidst optimism. Regarding the future direction of the market, especially whether alt season will reappear, there is a divergence of opinions. One mainstream view is that while some altcoins may continue to rise along with the overall market, most mid-cap altcoins are expected to struggle to outperform Bitcoin in this round of market activity, with market funds likely favoring a concentration towards top assets.
