Based on the latest data (26 Aug 2025), we are already in the early phase of alt-season, not “about to start soon.”
- Bitcoin dominance has fallen from ~65 % in May to ≈59 %—a six-month low, and analysts see the first monthly bear-cross since Jan 2021, a setup that preceded multi-month alt rallies.
- Coinbase, Cointelegraph and multiple on-chain desks now label current conditions as the “early stages of capital rotation” into altcoins.
- ETH/BTC ratio is climbing off cycle lows; a weekly close above 0.058 BTC has historically marked the kick-off of broad alt-season.
The clock has already started. If you’re waiting for a dramatic “green-light” moment, you’ll likely be buying the move after it’s half-done.
