Bitcoin is currently accumulating below the 120,000 USD threshold, while top altcoins like XRP, BNB, Ethereum, and Solana are experiencing impressive growth, even setting new all-time highs.
🌕 Altcoins Surpassing Bitcoin – Is Altcoin Season Officially Starting?
For many years, Bitcoin has always held the upper hand in the market, attracting attention from major institutions through spot ETF products and corporate treasury storage strategies.
However, with BTC rising 10% in July but not moving in the last 10 days, while ETH, XRP, BNB, and SOL have increased from 25-48%, investors are shifting their funds to altcoins.
🚀 Most Notable Altcoins:
Ethereum (ETH):
Up 48% in July and 25% in just the last 10 days.
Received inflow of 2.12 billion USD from ETF funds – nearly double the previous record.
Demonstrating strong demand from institutions and enterprises.
XRP:
Up 26% in 10 days, currently trading around 3.60 USD – the highest since 2018.
Solana (SOL):
Up 26% in over a week, reaching 200 USD, indicating renewed interest in the SOL ecosystem.
BNB (Binance Coin):
Surged to an all-time high of 804 USD, pushing market cap above 110 billion USD – surpassing even Solana.
📉 The Decline of Bitcoin Dominance – A Clear Signal of Altcoin Season
Bitcoin Dominance has decreased by nearly 6% in the past week, currently at around 61%, the lowest since March 2025.
Meanwhile, the total market capitalization of crypto has risen sharply from 3.09 trillion to 3.9 trillion USD in just one month.
📊 Altcoin Season Index Hits 56 – Beginning of a Boom Phase?
The Altcoin Season Index has reached 56, indicating the market is entering the mid-phase:
Bitcoin Season →
Ethereum Season →
Altcoin Season (low-cap tokens will go 'crazy').
The cycle model shows that after ETH dominates, large-cap altcoins will lead the market before money flows into small-cap tokens, creating the strongest growth phase for venture investors.
🧠 Technical Analysis of ETH:
A strong psychological support level around 3,000 USD, coinciding with the Fib 61.8% level between the peak of 2024 at 4,100 USD and the bottom of 2025 at 1,383 USD.
If ETH breaks below the 2,750 USD level, the uptrend will be invalidated.
📌 Summary:
Altcoin season is clearly forming, with signals from price, institutional capital flows, BTC dominance index, and altcoin season index.
Investors should closely monitor ETH and large-cap altcoins – as money flows into smaller tokens,the opportunity for growth of '10x, 20x' may occur in the coming weeks.
✅ Strategy Suggestions:
Prioritize holding ETH, XRP, SOL, BNB.
Monitor signs of explosive growth in small-cap altcoins.
Tight risk management – altcoin season can be very attractive, but also highly volatile.
