Altcoin Market Nears Breakout as $TOTAL3 Approaches Cycle Resistance Zone
$TOTAL3 has followed a parallel ascending channel since 2022, with each breakout from descending structures fueling strong altcoin rallies.
The ATH resistance zone between 1.13T–1.2T is the decisive test, with a breakout expected to unleash a parabolic market phase.
Historical cycles show altcoins sustain extended overbought momentum, suggesting $TOTAL3 could accelerate toward the projected 1.6T–2T market cap range.
The Total Crypto Market Cap excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum ($TOTAL3) is pressing against its cycle resistance zone after years of structured movement. Traders are closely watching the 1.13T–1.2T level as altcoins prepare for a decisive breakout.
Structured Growth Since the 2022 Market Bottom
The $TOTAL3 chart has maintained a clean parallel ascending channel since the 2022 market low. Price has repeatedly rebounded from the lower boundary while rejecting at the upper band. This consistent structure has guided altcoin behavior for nearly three years.
According to Crypflow, October 2023 marked the first major breakout from a descending structure, sparking a strong rally across altcoins. A similar setup occurred in November 2024, when altcoins again broke through resistance and experienced accelerated gains.
In July 2025, the pattern repeated as the market bounced from channel support. The structure flipped once more, and price is now moving toward a critical test at the upper resistance zone.
The Current Resistance Test and Market Position
The most important level for $TOTAL3 is the ATH resistance zone around 1.13T–1.2T, which has capped altcoin performance since 2021. A successful breakout would confirm the transition into the cycle’s parabolic phase, a stage known for rapid liquidity rotation.
Failure to break this resistance could see altcoins consolidating within the channel again. However, the broader market structure remains constructive as long as the lower boundary of the channel is respected. Market watchers maintain that the bulls still control the macro setup.
The Stoch RSI indicator currently shows overbought conditions. Historically, such readings during strong cycles have persisted for months as momentum-driven rallies continued. This adds weight to expectations of extended upside if resistance gives way.
Altcoins Nearing the Final Cycle Phase
The repeatable breakout-pump sequence in altcoins suggests cyclical consistency across recent years. Each successful breakout has led to strong rallies, strengthening the current bullish outlook.
As Crypflow explained, the market is staring at the final hurdle before entering what he termed the “final banana phase.” This period typically reflects liquidity-driven surges as capital flows from Bitcoin and Ethereum into the broader altcoin market.
If the resistance zone breaks, $TOTAL3 could accelerate toward the 1.6T–2T range. This projection would align with the established channel and previous breakout rallies observed since 2022.
