📈 1️⃣ Altcoin Season Index

By popular definition (like BlockchainCenter), Altcoin Season is when 75% of the top 50 altcoins outperform BTC over the last 90 days.

Right now, the Altcoin Season Index is around 41/100 → not Altseason yet.

But the Altcoin Month Index is 80/100, which means altcoins are having strong short-term pumps.

⚖️ 2️⃣ BTC Dominance

BTC dominance is still high: around 60–62%.

For a real Altseason, BTC dominance usually drops sharply below 50–55% → money flows into mid-cap and small-cap coins.

Right now, BTC still leads the market, altcoins follow.

🔍 3️⃣ Market Behavior

Many memecoins and trending tokens are popping up (AI, SocialFi, Base, TON, meme trends).

Some smaller coins are showing 50–200% moves — early signs.

Analysts point to a “cup and handle” pattern forming in TOTAL3 (altcoin market cap excluding BTC & ETH) → bullish if BTC stays stable.

✅ Summary

It’s not full Altcoin Season yet (by 90-day index),

but it is an Altcoin Month → meaning small caps and trends are starting to move.

If BTC consolidates or ranges near highs, we could see a real Altseason next.

📌 Key Takeaway

Current phase: Pre-Altseason.

Good strategy: Spot trending narratives early (memes, AI, L2s) → rotate profits fast.

Watch for: BTC dominance dropping below 55% → strong signal for true Altseason.
