🚀 Bitcoin's market dominance has fallen to a six-month low, while the market cap of altcoins has surged 50% since July. All signs are suggesting that September may welcome a new round of 'altcoin season'!
🔥 Why are altcoins on the rise?
Capital is rotating:
Bitcoin's dominance has dropped from over 65% in May to 59% in August, which is a clear signal of capital flowing into altcoins.
Macroeconomic environment boosts:
The U.S. July CPI remained at 2.7%
The futures market expects a 92% chance of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September
A low-interest-rate environment typically stimulates more capital to flow into high-risk assets, and altcoins naturally benefit the most.
Institutional support for ETH:
Ethereum is becoming the focus of institutional interest, driving up the entire altcoin sector.
📊 History suggests: Altcoins may explode
📌 Data shows that in the past 90 days, 75% of the top 50 altcoins have outperformed BTC.
📌 Bitcoin's dominance has also seen its first bearish crossover since 2021. The last time a similar situation occurred, altcoins experienced a sustained four-month surge.
🎯 What to watch next?
Altcoin season index: It has been rising but has not yet reached the 75 threshold defined for 'altcoin season'.
Can the three major conditions be met:
Loose macro environment ✅
BTC dominance decline ✅
New narrative catalyst ⏳ (possibly from the Ethereum ecosystem, stablecoins, or the next hot spot)
⚡ Summary in one sentence
Bitcoin is 'yielding', while altcoins are 'ascending'. If September combines a rate cut with a new narrative explosion, the second half of 2025 may become a feast for altcoin investors!
