Is the altcoin season finally in full swing now that bitcoin dominance is trending lower and ether came within touching distance of its 2021 peak? Could the proliferation of crypto treasury companies cause issues down the line? And why is consumer sentiment in the doldrums — and does it even matter for the markets? Dr. Sebastian Purcell, CEO and CIO of 1.2 Capital and host of RV Crypto Academy's Art of the Bubble course, is back to host his monthly panel of professional crypto fund managers and analysts. He's joined by CoinFund co-founder and CIO Alex Felix, "Crypto Is Macro Now" newsletter author Noelle Acheson, and Martin Leinweber, CFA, director of digital asset research & strategy at MarketVector Indexes. Recorded on August 19, 2025. • 📉 Healthy Pullback, Not Panic: While many on X are turning bearish, the current -1% to -2% dips in large-cap tokens like Bitcoin and Ethereum may just be a normal correction, not a collapse. 🛠️ • 📊 Crypto Index Signals Strength: Using the Bitcoin 50 Index as a proxy for the broader crypto market, we're still hovering near December 2024 highs. That’s a healthy retracement — not a breakdown. 🔄 • 🌍 Macro Bullishness Matters: Global equity markets are setting new all-time highs 🌐📈 — including Japan after 35 years! Even U.S. consumer discretionary stocks are flying. It’s tough to argue the crypto rally is truly over. 🚀 #Bitcoin #Ethereum #CryptoMarket #CryptoPullback #Investing #Altcoins #BTC #ETH #StockMarket #CryptoAnalysis 🍌 Get your Banana Zone swag at the Real Vision merch store: https://shop.realvision.com 📣 Elevate your brand with Real Vision.
