According to macro economist Henrik Zeberg the crypto markets are on the brink of seeing an altcoin season, triggered by a catalyst. This is because he believes that the Federal Reserve has now finished their plans for raising their interest rates, allowing the markets to price in this ‘Fed pause’. Zeberg also presented his 106,900 Twitter followers with a chart from crypto-focused hedge fund Swissblock, which showed how momentum has recently slowed down for both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

The macro economist sees a potential opportunity in this recent dip in Bitcoin's momentum, stating that a possible pullback in price could be an excellent opportunity to buy it. However, despite the current bearish sentiment in the short-term Zeberg remains confidently optimistic on the bitcoin market in the coming months. His strategy is based on the idea that the stock market will soar during the year and risk assets will fly, with Bitcoin seeing a positive correlation as a result.

At time of writing BTC is trading for an impressive $28,127, perhaps backing up the macro economist's bullish outlook. But going deeper into his predictions and theories, what could be the catalyst of this altseason he speaks of? Well, according to Zeberg, it's going to be the electric shift from ‘fear’ to ‘greed’, caused by the markets pricing in the Fed's rate pause.

This idea certainly gives a great outlook for altcoins, and if investors and the markets do indeed jump on board with this ‘buy-the-dip’ opportunity then we could see a major surge in the digital asset markets. The only question left to be asked is: will Zeberg's prediction of an altseason come to fruition? We’ll just have to wait and see.
