WHY ALTCOIN SEASON IS DELAYED IN 2025?

In previous cycles, altcoin season usually follows Bitcoin’s major rallies. However, in 2025, several factors are causing a delay:

1. BITCOIN DOMINANCE REMAINS HIGH

Institutional inflows into Bitcoin ETFs are keeping liquidity concentrated in BTC.

Historically, altcoins pump after Bitcoin stabilizes at higher levels, which hasn't happened yet.

2. REGULATORY PRESSURE ON ALTCOINS

SEC lawsuits and regulatory uncertainty are making investors cautious about altcoins.

Ethereum ETF approval delay has impacted the confidence in major altcoins.

3. MACROECONOMIC FACTORS

Global interest rate policies and risk-off sentiment are slowing high-risk investments like altcoins.

Investors are focusing on BTC as a "safe" crypto asset rather than speculative alts.

4. LOW LIQUIDITY & SELL PRESSURE

Many altcoin holders are exiting due to long consolidation phases.

Lack of fresh retail money means alts struggle to break out despite bullish narratives.

WHEN WILL ALT SEASON START?

Altcoins typically rally after Bitcoin peaks and stabilizes.

Signs to watch: BTC dominance dropping, ETH outperforming BTC, and meme coins surging.

Expected Altcoin Season Start: Q3 – Q4 2025, depending on Bitcoin’s price action.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Altcoin season isn’t canceled—just delayed. Bitcoin needs to cool off before capital flows into altcoins, but when it happens, the gains could be explosive.
