I compared the funding data of altcoins over the past three weeks. Although there hasn't been an explosive surge, there has been steady growth.

August 3rd, Sunday: Market Value 799.524 Billion

August 10th, Sunday: Market Value 887.267 Billion

August 17th, Sunday: Market Value 912.481 Billion

Weekly Growth Rate:

August 3rd → August 10th: +10.97%

August 10th → August 17th: +2.84%

It can be seen that altcoins experienced the strongest explosive power in the first week led by BTC/ETH. Although the growth slowed down in the second week, it did not reverse, indicating that the market is not a 'false rebound,' but rather gradually accumulating funds and sentiment.

In other words, altcoins now resemble a situation on the brink:

The overall market first prices BTC/ETH,

Altcoins, as candidates for catch-up, are being passively lifted,

Once there is a new narrative or capital switch, it could mark the start of the altcoin season.

Therefore, I prefer to view the current situation as a prelude to the altcoin season: not a full-scale explosion, but signs of recovery can be seen.

Once a leading project emerges in a certain sector, and funds have direction, the altcoin season is likely to arrive.
