How to Know When an Altseason is Coming: A Practical Guide to Detect It
In the world of cryptocurrencies, one of the most anticipated phases by investors is "altseason", a period when altcoins have much higher returns than BTC itself. Identifying when it is approaching can be very profitable, but also risky if you do not know what you are observing.
🧭 Signals That May Indicate the Start of an Altseason
1. Bitcoin Dominance Starts to Drop
Bitcoin dominance is the percentage of the total value of the crypto market that Bitcoin represents.
When this drops, it is generally because money is flowing into altcoins.
🔧 Key Indicator: Look at the BTC Dominance chart (BTC.D). If it breaks support or shows a strong decline, it is a good sign that altcoins are starting to shine.
2. Bitcoin is Stable or in a Range
If Bitcoin stops moving strongly and enters a sideways range, investors often move their capital to altcoins in search of better opportunities.
3. Large Altcoins (like ETH, BNB, SOL) Start to Break Resistances
First, the more solid projects (top 10-20 in the market) usually rise.
🔧 The ETH/BTC pair is key. If this pair rises, it is likely that ETH is gaining value against BTC → a good sign for altseason.
4. Explosion in Volume and Searches
(Google Trends).
Daily increases of 10%-20% in many tokens, even without clear news.
5. Altseason Index (Altcoin Season Index)
Tools like Blockchaincenter.net show an index based on the performance of the main altcoins against BTC.
If more than 75% of the main altcoins outperform BTC in the last 90 days, we are in altseason.
