According to Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL), the current altcoin market cycle is fundamentally different from previous cycles, as discussed in a recent conversation with Raoul Pal (@RaoulGMI) on YouTube (source: youtube.com/watch?v=-i83LQ…). Raoul Pal highlights that macroeconomic factors, institutional interest, and regulatory shifts are creating unique trading environments for altcoins in 2025. Traders are advised to closely monitor liquidity trends and sector rotations within the crypto market since these elements are driving volatility and opportunity, which is a significant departure from past cycles (source: Raoul Pal interview, June 2025).
