What is Altcoin Season?
Altseason or Altcoin Season is a period in which alternative coins perform better than Bitcoin. During an Altseason, Bitcoin's dominance (its market share) decreases, while Altcoins, especially the leading ones, increase in value.
Bitcoin's dominance refers to the proportion of Bitcoin in the total cryptocurrency market. For example, if Bitcoin's dominance is 42%, that means 58% of the total cryptocurrency market value corresponds to Altcoins.
The term "Altseason" was originally coined to help explain the ups and downs of the cryptocurrency market.
