Are Altcoins Quietly Preparing for a 2026 Comeback?

[madmax]

Crypto markets ended 2025 on a weak note, with most major assets finishing in negative territory and sentiment dominated by fear. Still, some analysts argue that price action alone doesn’t tell the full story. Beneath the surface, several technical signals suggest altcoins may be laying the groundwork for a rebound in 2026.

One of the most notable signs is the appearance of bullish divergences on weekly charts. This happens when prices continue to fall, but momentum indicators like RSI begin forming higher lows. Analysts say this pattern often signals seller exhaustion and a growing probability of trend reversal, especially when it forms on longer timeframes.
