Altseason (altseason) is a period in the crypto market when altcoins (all cryptocurrencies except Bitcoin) show significantly better dynamics than BTC. Many traders await it like manna from heaven. But how real is this season under current market conditions?
🔍 What is altseason — in brief
Altseason is considered to be when:
more than 75% of the top 50 altcoins by market capitalization exceed BTC growth over a certain period;
BTC dominance is decreasing, yielding capital to altcoins;
interest in new projects, blockchains, and meme coins is growing.
The market has matured
More money is now going into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and ETFs. Institutional players are not buying Shiba or Pepe.Macroeconomic uncertainty
High rates, regulation, SEC, and politics — all of this slows down risk assets. Altcoins are the riskiest.Local pumps are not altseason
WIF may rise by 400%, but that does not mean altseason has started. This is hype around a specific asset.🚀 When is a true altseason possible?
✔️ After a confident rise in BTC — investors take profits and look for 'new opportunities.'
✔️ Decrease in Bitcoin dominance — when capital starts to flow into lesser-known projects.
✔️ Emergence of new narratives — for example, metaverses, AI-chain, or new L2 solutions.
💡 Conclusion
Altseason is not a fairy tale, but it is not an obligatory stage of every cycle either. It is possible, but depends on the market, macroeconomics, and sentiments. Prepare wisely: DYOR, take profits, and don't expect 'tothemoon' from every token.#SwingTradingStrategy #SparkBinanceHODLerAirdrop
