When BTC dominance approaches 55-60%, Alts are rotating.
---
Phase 2: Ethereum starts to outperform Bitcoin (ETH/BTC rising)
· ETH wakes up first, reversing faster than other Alts.
· ETH/BTC pair breaks out (key signal).
DeFi tokens (LINK, UNI, MKR) start moving.
· Example: Early 2021 (ETH moved from $700 to $4K).
🔍 Signs to watch for:
· ETH/BTC breaks out at 0.06–0.08 (historically a strong altseason trigger).
---
Phase 3: "Altcoin rotation" begins (money flow decreases in market cap)
· Large caps (SOL, ADA, DOT) pump first, then mid caps.
· Low cap gems explode (100–1000x plays).
Statements (DeFi, AI, Memes, Gaming) take over.
· Example: Mid 2021 (DOGE, SHIB, AXS, GALA mania).
🔍 Signs to watch for:
· "Altcoin Season Index" (when 75% of the top 50 Alts outperform BTC).
---
Phase 4: Meme coins and parabolic pumps (final stage of altseason)
· New retail FOMO enters ("I missed Bitcoin, let's chase alts!").
BTC dominance crashes (below 40%).
· Example: Late 2017 (ICOs), late 2021 (Solana memes).

When will the next altseason start?
September 2025 could be the peak of the altseason.
