• The Altseason Index surged from 20 to 51, indicating a sharp shift toward altcoin market strength.

  • Levels above 75 historically mark strong altcoin seasons, while readings under 25 indicate Bitcoin dominance.

  • The index’s breakout from the 25–40 range reflects renewed momentum and increased altcoin outperformance.

The Altseason Index has also seen steep upward movement within the last few weeks, indicative of increasing activity in altcoin markets. Figures indicate that the index has traveled from its low point of about 20 to 51, placing itself in a mid-range between Bitcoin dominance and potential altcoin strength.

Historically, a value above 75 has been indicative of a full-fledged altcoin season while falling below 25 has signaled Bitcoin dominance. Now the index is considerably over the Bitcoin season level of 25, and this reflects a very strong change in momentum. The rapid increase is particularly evident since late May, as the index accelerates towards the midpoint region, which implies increasing capital flow into altcoins.

Altcoin Momentum Surges as Market Shifts 

Over the past two months, the index has risen steadily, recovering from a prolonged period of Bitcoin dominance. From early May, the metric remained within the 10–30 range, indicating stronger Bitcoin performance. However, a breakout occurred in late June, pushing the index above 40 for the first time since March.

This upward move suggests that altcoins have recently begun outperforming Bitcoin across several timeframes. Notably, the index’s current reading of 51 is the highest in over three months, underscoring a shift in market preference. The chart highlights several past instances where similar upward surges were followed by extended altcoin activity.

Altseason Index Breaks Out of Range as Altcoins Outperform Bitcoin

The Altseason Index is designed to compare altcoin performance relative to Bitcoin. A reading of 51 indicates that altcoins, on average, are now outperforming Bitcoin in key market segments. Historical data from November 2024 shows that when the index peaked above 80, altcoins experienced significant price rallies. 

Conversely, when the index remained below 25, Bitcoin led the market. The current rise from the 20-level floor to 51 reflects renewed interest and buying pressure in alternative cryptocurrencies. The index’s ability to break out of the 25–40 consolidation range further validates this momentum. Traders are closely monitoring whether this upward trajectory will continue toward the 75 level.

Capital Rotation Signals Altcoin Momentum as Bitcoin Dominance Declines

From July 2024 to March 2025, the index exhibited multiple swings between Bitcoin and altcoin seasons. This cyclical pattern highlights the constant rotation of capital between the two market segments. Recent data shows that Bitcoin dominance has been weakening, as reflected by the rapid climb of the index over the past few weeks. 

The visual gradient on the chart also emphasizes that the index has entered a neutral-to-bullish zone for altcoins. If the trend persists, the metric could potentially test its higher boundary levels seen in late 2024. For now, the Altseason Index remains firmly in an upward trajectory, with its latest reading marking a key turning point since early March.
