The 'Altcoin Season Index' from CoinMarketCap has risen to 19, a slight increase of 1 point from the previous day. This index provides insight into the current market dynamics, comparing the performance of Bitcoin against the top 100 altcoins by market capitalization (excluding stablecoins and wrapped coins). Understanding the Index: A reading of 75 or higher indicates an "altcoin season," signifying that 75% of the top 100 altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin over the preceding 90 days. Conversely, a lower score suggests Bitcoin's dominance. Currently at 19, the index suggests Bitcoin is still outperforming altcoins. While a small increase is observed, the market isn't yet indicative of a full altcoin season. Investors should carefully monitor the index in conjunction with other market indicators for potential shifts in cryptocurrency dominance. This could signify an opportunity for strategic portfolio adjustments. ```
