Altcoin Season Weakens as Index Drops to 17
The CMC Altcoin Season Index has fallen to 17, signaling a significant drop in momentum for alternative cryptocurrencies. The index, which measures the relative strength of altcoins compared to Bitcoin (BTC), suggests that the market is currently favoring Bitcoin dominance over smaller crypto assets.
An index score below 25 typically indicates that altcoins are underperforming, and traders are reallocating capital back into BTC or stablecoins amid market uncertainty or consolidation. This trend reflects cautious investor sentiment, as many look to the relative safety and liquidity of Bitcoin.
Despite recent rallies in select tokens like EDU and ZEC, the broader altcoin market is struggling to gain consistent traction. Analysts note that for a true altcoin season to begin, the index would need to rise above 75, paired with sustained capital inflows into a wide range of alt assets.
For now, altcoin investors may need to wait for stronger signals of renewed interest and breakout momentum.
