#ratios The dominance of Bitcoin has continued to follow a marked upward trend since the starting point of the cycle in the fall of 2022. Certainly, there have been periods of several weeks favorable to certain altcoin themes, such as the memecoin season leading up to the halving in April 2024.
But overall, BTC has always shown a better relative performance; it has revealed a phase of almost permanent outperformance over altcoins. Furthermore, the latter most often returned to square one after only 4 to 5 weeks of increase, at most.
In short, the average investor who swears only by altcoins is feeling very, very frustrated by the bullish cycle related to the 2024 halving. Let’s remember that, generally speaking, betting everything on alts is a huge investment mistake. Bitcoin should remain the cornerstone of all crypto investments; altcoins should only be salt and pepper sprinkled on the main dish that is BTC.
However, the cycle is not over in terms of the time cycle because all past cycles have ended at the end of the year following the halving, that is, at the end of 2025 concerning our current cycle (expected end between the months of October and December next).
So here are my 2 unstoppable barometers to not miss the next altcoin season. Naturally, if these 2 barometers do not give the signal for the starting gun, then you can definitely forget the altcoin season in this cycle.
