When Altcoin Season?
The Altcoin Season Index has two key zones:
Above 75 = Altcoin Season
Below 25 = Bitcoin Season
The index peaked on December 7, 2024, and since then, we’ve seen a massive dump and correction in altcoins.
Currently, the index is at 24, meaning we are in Bitcoin Season and altcoins are likely to keep bleeding for now.
However, if you look at past trends, each time the index falls below 25, it spends a few weeks or months there before bottoming out and bouncing back above 75, for an Altcoin Season.
When will the index bottom?
Based on historical data, the index has entered Bitcoin Season (7 out of 9) times between Q2 and Q3 and typically peaks in just a few months after the bounce.
Since the index has just dropped below 25, it might stay here for a bit before reversing.
It’s also worth noting that every bounce tends to be V-shaped and quick, so it’s often better to buy the dips rather than trying to perfectly time the bottom.
With altcoins currently at a significant discount, the next few weeks/ months could be a great opportunity to accumulate altcoins.
If history repeats, we could see a strong altcoin rally soon and as per the (4 year cycle) this next rally might be the last one before we enter the bear market.
