Post crash: Altcoins set to pump hard if 2020 repeats itself

The recent market-wide crypto crash affected Bitcoin, but its effect was much heavier on altcoins as is usually the case.

The hope of an altcoin rally is not all lost though, as this crypto analyst on 13 October said altcoins may be preparing for a big surge.

He compared 2025 to 2020 when a similar flash crash happened, followed by a monstrous altcoin rally that returned between 25x and 100x on different assets.

Will the pattern repeat

The analyst, Ash Crypto is one of those who believe the crash was as a result of high-level manipulation in the market.

The manipulation however is not all bad, as he said a similar incident happened in 2020, preceding the massive rally that resulted in altcoins doing between 25x and 100x.

While this year’s rally may not be that big because there are many more altcoins now than then, he expects that good altcoins will do 10x to 50x this cycle if the pattern repeats itself.

MARCH 2020 VS. OCTOBER 2025

Same manipulation, Different year

After March 2020 flash crash We had a huge altseason where alts pumped 25x-100x

I think it will happen again. Maybe not a 100x season due to millions of coins but I think good ones can still pull 10x-50x. pic.twitter.com/elL0KFehiz

Some analysts who share similar sentiments with Ash Crypto also say that at a time like this when fear is everywhere, smart money is quietly buying in on crypto, just like 2020.

This is what usually fuels the rebound leading to a price explosion which most likely still lies ahead.

This crash feels a lot like March 2020.

Back then, panic was everywhere.
⁰Bitcoin dumped hard.
⁰Smart money quietly loaded up.

What happened next? A 15x run.

Fear isn’t the exit.
⁰It’s the entry. pic.twitter.com/uqGVlojovM

What to do?

Even though the analyst did not outrightly suggest purchase of assets, suggesting that a big altcoin rally lies ahead of the market probably means it is time to buy if investors will be ready for the coming pump.

Contrary to this however, most investors, especially retailers will likely wait on the sidelines while whales quietly buy the blood.

Such investors only come in when the market is at its peak, which is the reason several are usually the victims of such unexpected crashes.
