Honestly, things have changed. This isn't the 2021 cycle anymore where $BTC pumps first, $ETH follows, and then a full-blown alt season begins.

Right now, #BTC dominance is hovering around 62%, and that’s not by accident — it's being sustained by institutional flows, ETFs, and the fact that Bitcoin has matured into a macroeconomic hedge asset. It's not just retail anymore.

#ETH is holding up, but it's no longer the undisputed leader of altcoin cycles like it used to be. With fragmentation across L2s, and strong competition from Solana, $TON, and others — the capital rotation is spread thinner, and ETH's performance isn’t automatically sparking an altcoin run.

As for alt season — it's no longer one giant wave like before. What we’re seeing now are mini rotations:

• AI coins have their moment,

• meme coins explode for a week or two,

• then it shifts to a different ecosystem (like $SOL or TON).

So dominance may fall eventually, but it’ll likely be a slow bleed — not a crash. And BTC can still maintain price or even grow while dominance drops — we've seen that in previous cycles (e.g., early 2021).

In short:

The alt season cycle is evolving — it's no longer about waiting for dominance to fall.

Now it's about narrative-driven bursts. You have to stay agile and be early on trends — not wait for the old pattern to repeat.
