But the smart money knows: we’re still in the pre-early phase.
Let’s get something straight: altseason hasn’t started.
Not even close, and if you’re feeling left behind this cycle, it’s not because you missed something.
It’s because liquidity hasn’t shifted — yet.
Look at the data:
- Bitcoin broke ATH more than once.
- BTC dominance (BTC.D) is pushing multi-year highs.
- Crypto is back in headlines globally.
But altcoins? They’re still on the sidelines.
This is not altseason, it is pre-distribution.
Why is Bitcoin dominating everything?
Simple: this cycle isn’t retail-driven, it’s institutional.
What you're seeing is macro-scale capital stacking Bitcoin for adoption and treasury.
The US now holds Bitcoin, as do public companies.
Sovereign wealth funds are watching, regulations are slowly paving the road.
$BTC isn't just a trade anymore, it’s becoming global digital infrastructure.
And while all this is happening, altcoins are bleeding.
Why?
- Token unlocks are flooding supply
- No fresh retail inflow
- Narratives are weak
- Smart money is sidelining everything but $BTC
BTC is now seen as "macro-safe risk."
Alts? High beta leverage plays, and nobody's ready to rotate yet.
If you zoom out — we’re still in the BTC accumulation + dominance expansion phase.
So when does altseason actually begin?
Simple, it follows a pattern:
- $BTC tops out.
- Retail can’t afford to buy anymore.
- Capital looks for high ROI plays.
- Strong narratives emerge.
- BTC.D starts to fall rapidly.
- Alts start to fly.
We’ve seen this before, every cycle plays a variation of the same move.
Altseason tends to lag 12–15 months after halving.
That places the window somewhere between Q3 2025 – Q4 2025.
Right now, alts are undervalued for a reason: nobody wants them.
That’s your alpha, because when capital finally rotates, the gains will be disproportionate.
But only for those positioned them self in the right narratives.
So what should you do now?
My advice:
- Accumulate high-conviction alt positions
- Focus on use-case, community, and roadmap
- Ignore hype coins with no product
- Track narratives gaining real traction ( AI, RWAs, DePIN)
- Be patient — this is a long game
Final word: we’re in the Bitcoin supercycle.
Altseason isn’t canceled — just delayed.
Those who prep now will be the ones who dominate next year.
Keep stacking, keep learning, altseason's not gone.
