Key data from CMC shows that the altcoin season index is only 22, meaning that in the past 90 days, only 22 of the top 100 cryptocurrencies have outperformed Bitcoin.
Market interpretation: Index below 25 = Bitcoin dominance period
It indicates that funds are still concentrated in mainstream cryptocurrencies, while altcoins are performing weakly, and it is not yet time for a full explosion.
However, localized opportunities have emerged. Among the 22 projects that have outperformed BTC, the AI, RWA, and Meme sectors are performing prominently, indicating that smart money is quietly positioning itself.
Historical patterns suggest that a turning point is imminent. In August 2023, this index soared from 18 to 78, followed by a collective surge of over 300% in altcoins. The current low point may be a good opportunity for positioning.
Old Li's operational advice:
Hold 50% position in BTC/ETH
Allocate 30% to low market cap projects in the AI and Depin sectors
Keep 20% in cash to chase after the index breaks 40
