All signs point to something brewing, but it’s not a clean break or a clear sprint, just a slow gravitational pull toward altcoin volatility.
Bitcoin dominance slipped to 64.52%, barely a twitch for some, but enough for the old-timers to squint and start rotating tabs, because every serious altseason in history began with BTC.D losing altitude just like this, not all at once, but through a hundred tiny stumbles.
Ethereum is bouncing off its local floor, as seen on the 4h chart, but no breakout yet, just a reclaim of dignity; volume rose, sure, but this is still in the category of “let’s see if it holds,” not “strap in.”
Meanwhile, macro structure hints at rotation: DeFi projects warming up, AI tokens showing coordinated optimism, and the Altcoin Season Index quietly sliding past 8.75%, which used to be dismissed as a blip until the fifth time it wasn’t.
This is how it usually begins; not with a bang, not with influencers yelling “we’re back,” but with capital drifting toward real narratives: Layer-2s that actually scale, AI yield protocols that sound less like fiction, and Bitcoin-adjacent projects that don’t rely on vibes alone.
Forget the spikes for a moment, and focus on the shifting floorboards, because it’s always the structure that moves first, not the ceiling.
You don’t need a signal, you need a sense.
Altseason isn’t announced, it’s built quietly, one rotation at a time, while everyone’s watching the wrong chart.
