Wintermute: The digital asset bull market is still in its early stages and new highs are in sight.
Against the backdrop of continued pressure on the U.S. bond market, a question has emerged among cryptocurrency investors: Has the opportunity to enter been missed? Market maker Wintermute pointed out in its latest report that the upward trend of global digital assets is still in its early stages and investors have not missed the opportunity to participate.
Bitcoin went up against macro resistance
Bitcoin (BTC) showed strong resilience, rising 2.4% this week and remaining at US$86,100 as of October 2026. As long as support remains above $82,500, BTC's target range will point to $90,000 to $95,000-an area where profit-taking and retail investor sentiment were high earlier this year.
Wintermute pointed out that this rise is more influenced by traditional financial conditions than by developments within the crypto industry. U.S. Treasury yields have risen to their highest level since 2008, with the 10-year yield climbing to 5.35%, and the 30-year yield touching 5.6%.
The rising correlation between Bitcoin and the S & P 500 introduces additional macroeconomic risks, especially if stocks decline in the future.
Altcoins 'momentum shifts, mainstream tokens enter consolidation
Major tokens such as NEAR and XRP pause after a long period of gains, and Wintermute advises investors to prepare for a brief break for these and other large-market-cap digital assets. The altcoin index fell 1.1% last week, ending a winning streak since early August and marking the first weekly decline in months.
Analysts have observed that in the past two weeks, items with strong fundamentals have entered a sideways trading phase. At the same time, money flows to lower-market-value, less well-known tokens, a pattern that usually occurs late in the strong altcoin cycle.
When leading altcoins are in a short window period, riskier and lower-quality tokens tend to attract latecomers seeking quick profits. Wintermute describes this strategy as a classic market trap and a signal that the cycle is ripe.
According to Wintermute, this exhaustion phase creates an environment for the healthy consolidation of mainstream altcoins. The company believes that the current pause in NEAR and XRP strengthens long-term prospects as key assets are being consolidated for the next phase of the cycle.
Sector rotation points to market evolution
Wintermute's analysis team tracks trends in the top 250 cryptocurrencies to measure market maturity. They report that new technology projects are replacing many established projects, marking a structural evolution similar to previous multi-year cycles.
Following the rapid development of decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) and artificial intelligence in 2024, and the further deployment of AI agents in early 2025, the market in October 2026 reflects steady growth in the market value of blue-chip projects. This sector rotation reflects the established pattern of previous cycles and improves the prospects of altcoins becoming market leaders.
