Alt season (short for "altcoin season") is a time in the crypto market when alternative crypto currencies—like Ethereum, Solana, BNB, and others—are faster in price than Bitcoin. It usually happens when Bitcoin becomes stable or slows down, and investors start moving their profits into altcoins, hoping for bigger gains.

During alt season, you might see many small coins gaining 2x, 5x, or even 10x quickly. It feels exciting, but it doesn’t last forever.

When alt season ends, those coins start to drop in value—sometimes very fast. People move their money back to Bitcoin or even to cash.

So, when someone says “alt season is over,” it means the big gains from altcoins are slowing down or ending, and a cool-down is happening in the market.

Coins are dropping.
