Can altcoins rebound in Q1 2026? Data reveals the end of the sell-off and potential turning points

February 12 News, as the first quarter of 2026 approaches its end, whether altcoins still have a rebound opportunity has become a focal point of market attention. Currently, sentiment remains weak, with most altcoins in a deep correction phase. Analytical firm Swissblock pointed out that its altcoin pulse signals show that although there are signs of slowing downward momentum, no clear reversal signals have appeared yet, and a full recovery is still unlikely in the short term. From on-chain and price structure perspectives, since Bitcoin broke below a key threshold in mid-January, selling pressure on altcoins has significantly increased, and capital outflows have accelerated. Meanwhile, only a very few altcoins remain above the 200-day moving average, indicating that most projects are still in a downtrend channel. Technical analysis shows that a bullish signal would only be confirmed if the positive signal line crosses above the negative momentum line in the future, which could bring new bullish clues to the market.
