The market has come alive again: Bitcoin holds attention, the fear and greed index jumps, and altcoins begin to wake up.
Many are waiting for the 'alt-season' — a period when altcoins grow faster than BTC, and some give x2–x10.
How to understand that it's close? Here are 5 signals that I look at:
1️⃣ BTC dominance begins to decline
When Bitcoin is stagnant or grows slowly, and capital starts to flow into altcoins — it's the first bell.
📊 Keep an eye on the BTC.D indicator — its decline almost always means a revival of altcoins.
2️⃣ Altcoins show growth even during BTC corrections
If earlier when Bitcoin fell, altcoins would drop even faster, and now they hold steady or even rise — it means new demand has emerged in the market.
3️⃣ Top altcoins start to break ahead
📈 $ETH, $SOL, $TON, $LINK and other leaders often start first.
If they show stable growth, the crowd starts to pull in other coins as well.
4️⃣ Meme coins come alive
Yes-yes, no matter how it sounds, but $PEPE, $DOGE and others often become indicators of liquidity in the market.
When money is flowing even into memes again — it's a signal that participants are ready to take risks.
5️⃣ Activity in the community and social media
An increase in discussions in Telegram, Twitter, Binance Square, a rise in searches for the keywords 'altseason' and 'crypto moon' — all of this reflects crowd interest.
And without the crowd, there is no alt-season.
💡 Conclusion: alt-season is not a 'switch on/off' button, but a process. There are already first signs in the market, and it's important to keep your finger on the pulse.
❓What do you think: is the alt-season already starting or is it yet another trap?
