Fundstrat co-founder and head of research Tom Lee says a drop in the correlation between altcoins and Bitcoin indicates that a so-called “alt season” bull run has already begun.
If past is prologue, Lee says crypto assets could be poised for 1,100% gains. He arrives at that number by averaging the percentage gains that alts collectively recorded in the last two altcoin bull runs.
Lee points to the large number of Visa and Mastercard accounts, which still dwarfs the number of active Bitcoin wallets, as a sign that the crypto movement at large still has a lot of room to grow.
2/ past alt-seasons averaged 1,100% gains
Will the next alt-season be as strong as the past? Given there are probably only ~50mm active wallets (vs 5 billion Visa/MasterCard accts), we think crypto still early in the adoption curve. So it should be similar pic.twitter.com/cgTBOHteMT
