📣 Altcoin Season Could Begin in October, 3 Signals You Shouldn’t Ignore
It’s been a brutal cycle for altcoins. Bitcoin has taken center stage, dominating the narrative and capital flows, while altcoin holders continue to watch their portfolios stagnate, or worse, bleed.
While Bitcoin continues to surge and is sticking above $100k, altcoins have only seen two brief rallies in March and November 2024.
But according to crypto analyst Crypto Decoder, several under-the-radar signals now suggest that a broader alt season could be setting up, even if it’s not here just yet.
💬 Altseason is delayed this cycle. Only a handful of alts pump while the rest keep bleeding against Bitcoin.Just dropped a new video breaking down the key macro indicators to watch for a reversal, and when our alt bags might finally pump — Crypto Decoder (@Cryptodecoder0x) July 8, 2025
🔸 Dollar Weakness Could Set the Stage
One of the most important signs comes from the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY). Crypto Decoder highlights that when the dollar weakens, altcoins often gain massive momentum. In 2017, a sharp drop in the DXY led to a 285x explosion in altcoin market cap. In 2021, a similar move sparked a 17x rally.
This pattern ties closely to U.S. monetary policy, when the Federal Reserve loosens financial conditions and borrowing gets easier, investors typically move into riskier assets. Bitcoin is usually the first stop, followed by altcoins.
Right now, the DXY is showing signs of fading strength and has failed to break above the 109 mark. If it falls below key support levels, it could trigger renewed interest in altcoins. Still, Decoder cautions that a real shift in Fed policy will likely be needed before we see any explosive price action.

Another strong but lesser-known signal is the copper-to-gold ratio. This metric reflects investor sentiment. When copper outperforms gold, it suggests a growing risk appetite in the market.
