✅ With the global crypto market cap hitting an all-time high of $4 trillion, and Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) dropping to multi-month lows, analysts agree — Altcoin Season is officially here.

But every season comes with its own risks…
And the biggest question now is:
When should you START LOCKING in profits?

Based on insights from leading market analysts, here are 4 critical indicators to help you decide when to exit safely:

1️⃣ Altcoin Season Index — Above 70? Time to Get Cautious

The Altcoin Season Index from CoinGlass is a popular tool for spotting the start of an altseason.
But historically, when this index crosses 70 to 100, it often signals market overheating and incoming corrections.
📊 Current reading: 49 — still healthy, but climbing.
Keep monitoring it closely. Once it enters the red zone, it may be time to secure your gains.

2️⃣ TOTAL3 Chart — The $2 Trillion Target Is in Sight

The TOTAL3 chart (which tracks the total market cap of altcoins excluding BTC and ETH) is now forming a classic Cup & Handle breakout pattern.
📈 The measured move suggests a target of $2.01 trillion — a level many see as a natural profit-taking zone.
With TOTAL3 nearing $1 trillion today, this breakout may unfold in the coming months, providing a strong opportunity to lock in profits at or near the target.

3️⃣ The Capital Rotation Cycle — Are We in Phase 2 Already?

According to the market flow model shared by NekoZ, the altseason unfolds in 4 phases:

Phase 1: Bitcoin outperforms the market

Phase 2: Ethereum starts outperforming Bitcoin

Phase 3: Large-cap altcoins go parabolic

Phase 4: Mid, low-cap altcoins & meme coins explode — typically the final stage

📊 Right now, Ethereum is outperforming Bitcoin — confirming we’ve entered Phase 2.
If you start seeing meme coins and micro caps pumping across the board, that’s your signal we’re likely in Phase 4 — historically the peak and often the precursor to a sharp correction.

4️⃣ Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) — 50% Could Be the Final Signal

📉 Since early July, BTC Dominance has dropped from 65.5% to around 61% — the largest monthly decline since late 2024.
Historically, when BTC.D breaks below 50%, altcoin euphoria reaches its climax before serious corrections follow.
Watch this level carefully — a drop to 48%-50% might be your final call to exit or take major profits.

Key Takeaways

📝 Regardless of your personal strategy, historical patterns are clear:

⚠️“Holding altcoins for too long often ends with significant drawdowns.”
Crypto rallies can be explosive — but they can also reverse violently.
Learn to read the market, stay disciplined, and don’t let greed wipe out your hard-earned gains.
