Major Signal Warning: Is the Altcoin Carnival Season About to Start?
Signal One: Bitcoin's 'Stabilizing Effect'
Bitcoin's price is nearing an all-time high, and this state of 'high-level stability' is very significant. When the leading cryptocurrency remains strong but does not excessively drain resources, it often means that the market is about to enter a phase of 'equitable distribution.' Just like in the mid-2021 bull market, when Bitcoin was consolidating, it was the golden window for a collective explosion of altcoins.
Signal Two: Retail Investors' 'Ice Point Moment'
Currently, the participation of ordinary investors has dropped to a near three-year low. Looking back at the past five instances before the launch of altcoin seasons, both the number of new users on trading platforms and social media discussions exhibited similar phenomena — while institutional funds quietly positioned themselves, retail investors often remained on the sidelines.
Signal Three: Ethereum's 'Exchange Rate Breakthrough'
The downward trend of the ETH/BTC exchange rate has been strongly reversed; this key indicator is more persuasive than price fluctuations. When capital begins to flow out from Bitcoin, the 'reservoir,' the entire altcoin ecosystem will gain liquidity nourishment.
Signal Four: Index's 'Faint Light in the Dark'
The market capitalization index covering mainstream altcoins has quietly emerged from a trough; although there have not yet been exaggerated increases, this 'overall warming' is the calm before the storm. Just like the first rebound after a spring is compressed to its limit, it often signifies that a larger-scale market trend is brewing.
