A strong rise followed the first QT end and formed a period marked as the alt season. A drop followed the next QT start, and the chart labels this stage as alts underperforming. The same steps repeat in the later cycle, where the green marker again sits at a point just before a sharp move higher.
The latest green marker stands at the end of QT and sits near a tight red contraction zone that marks the tail of a long downtrend. The chart labels the current point with a marker that reads “we are here,” and this aligns with the same stage where earlier alt seasons began.
Downtrend Break Brings Attention to the 2026 Vertical Target Zone
A long red downtrend channel appears across the last stage of the cycle, and OTHERS.D now trades at the edge of this line. The yellow vertical bar on the right marks a target zone that lines up with the 2026 period. This bar stretches upward and connects with earlier levels reached during strong alt seasons.
A small green node marks the area where the alt season began after the first QT ended. The chart shows the same pattern forming again, with a red node near the latest QT marker. The contraction zone near the present level shows that OTHERS.D has reached the lower bound of the downtrend and may form a reversal if it repeats the earlier cycle.
The right panel of the chart contains a projection of BTC dominance that extends toward the 2028 election period. This projection rises into mid-cycle and then tapers toward the far right side. This shape gives context to the dominance relationship and shows how Bitcoin dominance may shift as OTHERS.D lifts into the next phase.
Historical Patterns Show Alt Season Follows QT End
The lower left of the chart carries text that identifies alt underperform and alt season zones. The earlier cycles show that alts gained strength when QT ended and lost ground when QT began. The present chart places the same markers on the current cycle with near-perfect alignment to the FED sheet curve.
With OTHERS.D at a point marked as we are here and the QT end confirmed by the green node, the chart lays out a clear cycle structure for the next period.
