The crypto market seems to be enjoying a good start to the month of October as well as to the start of Q4 2026. At the moment, the price of Bitcoin is back up above the $84,000 price range while the price of ETH is trading above the $2,700 price range. This means as September came to an end, ETH makes its highest monthly close in 2026 and the best Q3 close in Ethereum’s history.
According to CoinMarketCap analytics, the price of the pioneer altcoin asset, Ethereum (ETH), is up by over 1.4%. This means that the price of ETH went from trading in the $2,600 price range to that of the $2,700 price range, where the asset is currently trading at $2,713. Meanwhile, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) is back up over the $84,000 price range, up from the $83,000 price range, where it was trading yesterday.

By saying so, the analyst shows us that he expects bullish moves to occur for Ethereum (ETH) over the final quarter of the year. The post goes on to open with the fact that the price of ETH held the $2,550 price target and closed the week up 1.66%.
He then mentions that what matters now is the $2,300 to $2,800 price range. This same zone has produced 3 major breakouts on the weekly chart, and each time ETH broke out of this range, the next move was big. A confirmed break above $2,800 puts $3,600 to $4,500 as the next major zone. He marks $2,550 and $2,350 as the support prices and highlights the key event this week as ISM on Thursday.

Already, several altcoin assets are up by an impressive margin, leading to speculation over a short correction phase before a continued rally. At the moment, sentiments are high for altcoins to outperform in the final quarter of the year. With ETH having just printed its highest monthly close in 2026 and best Q3 in Ethereum’s history, the market is looking good for altcoins.
https://twitter.com/AshCrypto/status/2105216626157293800As we can see from the post above, the mega altseason phase is expected to start soon. The analyst highlights how Bitcoin Dominance has been consolidating for a year now. In 2017 and 2021, dominance crashed hard, and capital rotated into altcoins. However, this move did not occur in 2025, as Bitcoin Dominance kept climbing. Now, BTC Dominance is making a series of lower highs with major support at 57.8%. If it breaks below 57.8%, the much-awaited Altseason will start. But if it holds at 57.8% and then breaks above 61%, Bitcoin will lead the market while altcoins will underperform BTC.
