🌈 What Is Altcoin Season?
Altcoin Season (or Altseason) happens when altcoins (any crypto that's not BTC) start outperforming Bitcoin across the market. 🟢
🚨 Signs You’re in Altcoin Season:
📈 Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) is falling.
🚀 Alts across categories (DeFi, Meme, L2, AI, etc.) are pumping.
💹 ETH/BTC pair is breaking out.
🐳 Smart money is rotating from BTC into alts.
🎯 Altcoin Season Trading Strategy
✅ 1. Track the Bitcoin Dominance Chart 📉
📊 BTC Dominance down = 🟢 altcoin uptrend potential.
Use TradingView to chart: BTC.D
Key level: When BTC.D drops below 50%, it's go-time for alts.
🧠 2. Segment Altcoins by Type
Group alts into themes to find hot sectors:
🔥 Sector Examples
🧠 AI RNDR, FET, AGIX
🐸 Memes DOGE, SHIB, PEPE, FLOKI
Focus on themes trending on Twitter/X, YouTube, or CoinGecko.
🪜 3. Altcoin Entry Plan (Ladder In)
🛒 Buy in 3 parts:
📉 33% on first dip (bounce confirmation)
📊 33% at trend continuation
📈 33% on breakout of local high
⛔ Stop-loss: Just under the last major swing low
🎯 Take-profit targets: Previous resistance levels or Fibonacci extensions (1.618 = 🚀)
🧪 4. Use Volume and RSI Confirmations
📈 Volume spike = 🚨 Whale Interest
🟢 RSI 50–70 = Healthy uptrend
🔴 RSI > 85 = Time to scale out (overbought)
⏰ 5. Time the Rotation (BTC → ETH → ALTS)
Crypto capital flows in waves:
🔵 Bitcoin pumps first
🟣 Ethereum catches up
🟢 Mid/low-cap altcoins go bananas
🐸 Memecoins explode last (but drop fastest!)
Rotate profits from BTC → ETH → strong alts → exit or stables.
