Despite Bitcoin’s explosive rally, major altcoins like Ethereum remain below their previous peaks, leaving investors wondering when the broader market will follow.

Some analysts believe that the quiet phase for altcoins may soon end. Axel Adler, a market researcher, has pointed to an overlooked but potentially bullish signal for the altcoin sector: declining trading volumes.

As of June 27, the average monthly altcoin exchange flow stands at $1.6B, below the annual average of $2.5B. This moderate flow suggests asset consolidation and growing accumulation potential ahead of the next altseason wave.

Adler’s analysis of altcoin activity reveals that average monthly trading volumes currently hover around $1.6 billion—well below the yearly average of $2.5 billion. While that may seem like a bearish indicator on the surface, he argues it actually suggests the opposite.

Historically, whenever volumes have dipped below this $1.6 billion threshold, altcoins have soon followed with powerful price surges. Similar setups occurred in early and late 2023, as well as mid-2024, all of which preceded strong rallies.

The drop in activity is being interpreted as a sign of market consolidation—where patient investors accumulate positions in anticipation of the next breakout. According to Adler, the groundwork for a fresh altseason could be quietly forming, even if the price charts haven’t caught up yet.

If history repeats itself, today’s low-volume lull could be the calm before an altcoin storm.
