The cryptocurrency market is once again buzzing with speculation about when altcoins will finally break free from Bitcoin’s dominance. Investors are watching every move for signs of a true “altseason,” and respected market commentator CryptoBull has emerged as a key voice in this discussion, offering a sharp perspective on what must happen before that shift becomes reality.
In his latest analysis, CryptoBull emphasized that a genuine altseason will only be confirmed when XRP and other leading altcoins deliver massive, repeatable weekend rallies that continue to hold once traditional markets reopen.
He argues that sustained weekend strength is the clearest indication that altcoins are gaining independent momentum, demonstrating demand beyond Bitcoin’s gravitational pull.
It’s not altseason until we see massive weekend pumps #XRP

Market Snapshot
XRP is trading around $3, with occasional buying surges, while its price remains closely linked to Bitcoin’s movements and broader economic factors like US interest rate cut. Exchange data reveals that volumes are higher than earlier in the year, but the asset still moves largely in step with the broader crypto market.
Weekend Liquidity Challenge
Weekends typically see lighter trading activity and thinner order books, conditions that can lead to sharp but unreliable price spikes. Market studies confirm a steady decline in weekend trading volumes across major exchanges, underscoring why any weekend rally must be both strong and persistent to be taken seriously.

Institutional Foundations
A lasting altseason requires more than retail excitement. Ripple’s recent partnerships with DBS Bank and Franklin Templeton—aimed at advancing tokenized financial markets and expanding the reach of Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin—are seen as crucial for building the deep liquidity and institutional participation needed to sustain significant price gains beyond the weekend.
Investor Takeaway
For XRP investors, CryptoBull’s perspective is a reminder to stay patient and disciplined. Weekend surges can be early indicators of momentum, but they only gain real significance when supported by institutional infrastructure and confirmed by follow-through once weekday trading resumes. Until those conditions align, the long-awaited altseason remains just out of reach.
