When will crypto alt season start ?
"Alt season" — short for "altcoin season" — is when altcoins (cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin) outperform Bitcoin significantly over a sustained period. While there's no guaranteed way to predict exactly when alt season will start, there are common indicators and historical patterns that traders watch for.
* Bitcoin Dominance Drops
-> When the Bitcoin Dominance Index (BTC.D) falls — usually below 50% — it can signal that capital is rotating into altcoins.
* Bitcoin Stabilizes or Moves Sideways
-> When BTC consolidates after a major move, traders often seek higher returns in altcoins.
Ethereum Outperforms Bitcoin (ETH/BTC rising)
ETH is usually the first altcoin to rally. A rising ETH/BTC pair is a typical prelude to a broader alt season.
Strong DeFi/Narrative Hype
-> New narratives (e.g., DeFi, AI coins, meme coins) gaining traction can lead to waves of speculative capital in alts.
* Retail Influx & Social Media Buzz
-> High engagement on platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and TikTok around non-BTC coins often signals alt activity is heating up.
