The altcoin market has been dormant at the bottom for 4 years. The big crash on October 11th last year wiped out over 90% of everything. Now, there is really no room for further decline.

Looking back, there have only been 4 truly valuable buying opportunities in the past four years, and the current market—especially the window from January 1 to 17, 2026—is very likely the last chance.

Recently, market liquidity has tripled, and popularity is gradually recovering. From a technical perspective, a golden cross signal has already appeared, and multiple indicators are resonating, showing quite clear bullish signs. If a breakout occurs, the cycle is approximately 120 days.

Particularly worth noting are some small tokens in the Ethereum ecosystem. With Ethereum's security as a foundation and the accumulation of community consensus, these projects have become the front line for Meme coin rebounds. Those who bought at the bottom are now waiting for this wave of market movement to start.

Bottom silence for four years? I think, this wave might really be the last chance to get on board. The January window period needs to be watched closely. The liquidity surge tripling is not fake; the golden cross + resonance signals are right here. With the 120-day cycle, I bet this wave can break out. I've been paying attention to small coins in the ETH ecosystem for a while now. Those buried at the bottom can now breathe a sigh of relief. Wait, I've heard the argument about this being the last opportunity too many times... but this time, the data is indeed different. No movement for four years, and then a full effort when it moves? But those at the bottom should be psychologically prepared—they could crash again at any time. I'm not very optimistic about Meme coins; they are too speculative. But the projects within the ETH ecosystem that have consensus are indeed worth it. Opportunities at the bottom only appear four times in four years... this time, the probability makes it even more precious.

Bottom has been silent for 4 years... Can it really turn around this time? I feel like I hear this every time. Wait, from January 1-17, this window? What a coincidence. A liquidity surge of 3 times sounds good, but is Meme coins rebounding first? Be careful of the bagholder's fate. 120-day cycle... Let me see if I can survive until then before making any decisions. I need to think more about small tokens in the Ethereum ecosystem, but there's really not much room for further decline at the bottom. That's for sure.

Bottom-lying for 4 years and only now being awakened, is this really going to take off? Why do I have some doubts about it?

Lying at the bottom for 4 years, are we really going to get up this time? I don’t believe you, you said the same last time. --- Liquidity surged threefold, sounds impressive, but this cycle happens every year. Wake up, everyone. --- Ethereum small-cap coins? Forget it, I’ll wait until Ethereum itself drops another 50% before buying. --- A breakout in 120 days? I bet 5 U.S. dollars this will be delayed again until next year. --- Last October, it dropped 90%. Does anyone still want to buy the dip? That’s really bold. --- I’ve been saying last chance for four years, but this phrase depreciates faster than the coins. --- The real money-makers definitely wouldn’t be whining here, which shows I still have the rookie trait. --- The golden cross resonance thing, hearing it too much just numbs you. Better to watch the order book. --- Waiting at the bottom to buy-in and wait for the launch? I think we’ll probably get trapped again. --- Ethereum ecosystem small coins taking the lead? Fine, it’s another concentration camp for high-position bagholders.

Lying at the bottom for 4 years is indeed incredible, but I have to put a question mark on whether this is the final opportunity. Can it really rise this time? I've heard the golden cross signal too many times.

It's been four years at the bottom, honestly I'm really exhausted. Is this really the last chance to get on board? Feels like every time I hear that, haha. Will it explode in 120 days? I bet five bucks it will just get delayed again. I'm still a bit wary of small ETH ecosystem coins; I've been tricked by them a few times before. Is the surge in liquidity reliable? I have a feeling it's just the prelude to a rug pull. Let's wait and see. Anyway, I've already moved on. Whether I make money or not depends on fate.

Bottom has been stagnant for 4 years, finally about to rise? I don’t believe you, every time you say this is the last chance haha --- 120 days explosion? Just wait and see, I bet this is another false alarm --- Is it true? Liquidity has surged threefold... Could it be another manipulation by the whales to shake out weak hands --- ETH ecosystem small coins? Sounds good, but 99% will probably go to zero --- Window period from January 1 to 17... Another precisely timed nonsense, how can I believe it --- Staying silent at the bottom for 4 years, then just keep沉ing, I don’t believe this time will really rise --- I’m tired of all those terms like golden cross resonance, in the end, it’s just a mess --- Waiting 120 days? I can’t wait, it’s too torturous --- If you ask me, this article is just creating FOMO, don’t fall for it --- Those who bought at the bottom are waiting, but what they often get is a new low...

Lying at the bottom for 4 years? Bro, your prediction is really accurate, every time it's "the last chance" haha 120 days to explode? Let's see how many days it can hold first I've looked at a few small coins in the ETH ecosystem, but not many people dare to go all in The surge in liquidity is real, but retail investors usually buy in when the big players are unloading

Damn, the bottom has been silent for four years, I'm almost falling asleep. Is it finally going to move now? I'll mark the 120-day breakout first. Hopefully, it's not another false signal. ETH ecosystem small coins are indeed attractive, but I'm just worried it might be another scam to cut leeks. Wait, can this window in January really turn things around? Feels like just another story. Brothers who bought at the bottom, is this really the time to take off? My heart can't handle another rollercoaster.

Lying at the bottom for four years has indeed been tough, but this time the liquidity surge feels really different. The 120-day cycle just happens to fall after the Spring Festival, and we'll see the results then. I'm satisfied if ETH ecosystem small coins can rise this round. Anyway, I've already been halved before, what else can happen? Four years, only four opportunities. You have to understand this window period thoroughly, or it'll just be a waste of time again. Why does it feel like this round has more confidence than the last? Or is it just my psychological effect? For those brothers who have been out of the market until now, is mid-January really the last chance to jump in? Feels like it's a bit exaggerated. Where does the data of a threefold liquidity surge come from? I need to verify it before believing it. The golden cross appears, and the hype is so intense. The contract orders are probably piling up again. Four years of sharpening the blade at the bottom, this time it definitely won't drop again, right? If it does, I’ll be really upset. Waiting to see if ETH small coins can perform, consensus is nice to hear but we still need to look at the charts.
