OTHERS Monthly MACD Cross — Last One Produced a 172% Altcoin Rally

The crypto market excluding the top 10 assets — tracked as OTHERS — is trading at $243.46B, and a signal just printed on its monthly chart that has appeared only once before in this cycle. That prior instance produced a 172.37% rally. The signal is a bullish MACD cross on the one-month timeframe, and it is now confirmed for October 2026.

Analyst @CryptoBullet1 flagged the setup directly: “$OTHERS 1M chart — Oh my God, we have a bullish MACD Cross. You know what that means, right?” The rhetorical confidence is data-backed. The November 2023 MACD cross on the same chart produced a move from approximately $130B to $355B — a completed, verified 172.37% gain. The October 2026 cross is now printing at the same indicator inflection point.

Signal — Monthly MACD Bullish Cross: What It Measures and What It’s Saying

The MACD — Moving Average Convergence Divergence — on a monthly timeframe is one of the slowest-moving momentum signals in technical analysis. A bullish cross occurs when the MACD line crosses above the signal line after a period of compression or bearish pressure. On a monthly chart, each candle represents 30 days of price action. A cross at this timeframe is not noise — it reflects a shift in macro-level momentum that has been building for months before the signal prints.

The current reading on OTHERS places the MACD cross in October 2026, with the EMA 50 sitting near $203B and acting as structural support below the current $243.46B level. The chart shared by @CryptoBullet1 highlights two MACD crosses side by side: the November 2023 instance on the left with its completed 172.37% move marked, and the October 2026 instance on the right with the same 172.37% projected forward as a future target.

The 2023 Precedent — 172.37% in One Cycle

The November 2023 MACD cross on the OTHERS monthly chart is the only directly comparable prior instance on this chart. The data is unambiguous:

If the 2026 cross mirrors the 2023 precedent at the same percentage magnitude, the OTHERS index would move from $243.46B to approximately $665B. That is the target embedded in the chart — not a speculative projection, but a direct application of the prior signal’s output to the current entry point. It is worth noting that the recent low for OTHERS sits near $175B, establishing a clear invalidation zone below the EMA 50 at $203B.

This aligns with prior analysis flagged here at CoinsProbe: OTHERS broke monthly resistance with the $500B–$650B range already identified as the next major zone — the MACD cross now adds a momentum confirmation to that structural breakout thesis.

What a $665B OTHERS Reading Would Mean for Altcoins

OTHERS is not a single asset. It is the aggregate market capitalization of every crypto asset outside the top 10 — encompassing layer-1 blockchains, DeFi protocols, gaming tokens, AI infrastructure coins, and the entire long tail of altcoin liquidity. When OTHERS rises by 172%, the capital is distributed across hundreds of assets simultaneously. A move of this magnitude, if it develops over the coming months as the monthly timeframe implies, would constitute a broad altcoin season — not a rotation into one narrative, but capital expansion across the full spectrum below the top 10.

The timeframe caveat is critical. Monthly MACD signals do not resolve in days or weeks. The November 2023 cross took multiple months to deliver its full 172.37% move. The October 2026 cross should be read the same way — a macro setup that develops across quarters, not a short-term trade.

Bullish Scenario — $665B Target Remains Intact

OTHERS holds the EMA 50 near $203B as support and continues expanding above the current $243.46B level. The MACD cross deepens in November and December monthly closes, confirming the momentum shift. Price action mirrors the 2023 trajectory, with the $500B–$650B resistance band as the key intermediate zone before the $665B target becomes achievable.

Bearish Scenario — Signal Fails at EMA 50

A monthly close back below $203B (the EMA 50) would structurally undermine the cross, suggesting the signal was a false positive. A breach of the $175B recent support low would invalidate the setup entirely and reset the macro momentum picture to neutral-to-bearish.

The MACD cross is 1-for-1 on the monthly OTHERS chart. Whether it becomes 2-for-2 at the $665B target will be answered at the $203B EMA 50 on the downside and the $500B resistance band on the upside — the two levels that define whether this macro signal delivers its historical precedent.
