by

The altcoin market just set a record that no one applied for, begged for, or even saw coming. Crypto assets outside Bitcoin and Ethereum have officially closed five straight months in the red. A streak so bleak, even the most optimistic chart-gazers are side-eyeing their screens.

Michaël van de Poppe, CIO and Founder of MN Fund, shouted this into the void on X, because of course he did. Because nothing says “vibes” like announcing a crypto apocalypse while sipping a £12 oat milk latte.

“Five months in a row, a red candle on #Altcoins. Groundbreaking. Never happened before. Not once. Groundbreaking,” he wrote, with the kind of sarcasm that screams “I’m emotionally invested in this spreadsheet.”

He also noted that social media interest in crypto has dropped to levels so low, it’s basically a ghost town. Even the influencers have fled. Rumor has it they’re now shilling NFT-based air fryers.

$209 Billion in Altcoin Selling (Spoiler: It’s Not a Typo)

The selling pressure? Let’s just say it’s worse than the 2022 bear market or the FTX collapse-two events that were already the stuff of crypto nightmares. Ash Crypto, the bard of blockchain despair, shared data revealing altcoins have been dumped nonstop for 13 months.

“Thirteen months. $209 billion gone. Like a breakup where your ex took your dog, your savings, and your will to live,” Ash Crypto said, probably while dramatically staring into a candle.

For context: the buy/sell ratio hovered near zero in January 2025. Since then, sellers have been hitting “confirm” with the enthusiasm of a kid deleting a TikTok account after heartbreak.

So Is the Bottom Close? (Spoiler: Probably Not)

Van de Poppe’s still clutching a tiny spark of hope, like a dying lightbulb in a horror movie. He claims the current altcoin market cap-$714 billion-is a “Dip buying” zone, which is crypto code for “I’m not sure, but let’s pretend we know what we’re doing.”

He added that if the monthly candle climbs slightly in the next few weeks, the correction might end. Or it might not. It’s crypto! It’s like astrology but with more graphs.

“If this candle flickers upward, the correction might be over. Might. Key word: might,” he said, abandoning all charisma to sound like a weatherman in a hurricane.

The next two weeks? Crucial. February’s candle close will either break the streak or send altcoins spiraling into a pit of despair. Either way, grab popcorn. Or a therapist.
