Altcoins could be poised for high volatility rallies, leading to daily gains for traders as the market interest shifts.
Altcoin Index is significant in assessing the prevailing market sentiment, allowing investors to adjust their investment portfolios accordingly. With the value ranging from 0 to 100, the range 0-25 signals Bitcoin dominance. The value 75-100 signals an altcoin season. The value is established based on the performance of the top 50 altcoins over the past 90 days, with the exclusion of stablecoins.
As of today, the altcoin index is approaching 25, suggesting that the market could be exiting the Bitcoin dominance season. As the value rises, BTC appears to break below key support levels over the past 3 weeks following its rally to new all-time highs this year. However, only a solid score above 75 could truly confirm the altcoin season.
Historically, when the altcoin season index approached 25, the market sentiment tends to shift. In early 2021, the index surged above 90 as altcoins dominated the crypto market. Similarly, in the 2022-2023 bear market, the altcoin index stayed below 25, signaling Bitcoin dominance while altcoins underperformed.
According to Crypto analyst CryptoJack on X (formerly Twitter):
“Altseason is coming. Daily 40% gains will become the new normal.”
When altcoin season begins, the shift in market sentiment fuels bullish rallies with various altcoins gaining 20-40% across the market. One should watch for spikes in social sentiment, volume, and changes in open interest towards altcoins for further insights. If history repeats, the market could see another altcoin season in the next few weeks.
