• Altseason Index fell from 100 to 67, now below the 75 threshold for altcoin season
• Liquidations neared $1B in one hour and totaled $441.78M in 24 hours
• ETH led liquidations at $465.16M while BTC saw $256.29M amid the selloff
Altseason Index Slips as Liquidations Rise
The Altseason Index dropped to 67 after touching 100 days ago. It now sits below 75, which marks “Altcoin Season”. The change follows months of strong altcoin performance during late summer 2025, and traders are watching Bitcoin’s share closely.
The index is still above 25, which marks “Bitcoin Season.” But the move is sharp, and it comes as market stress grows. Analysts said the pullback could reflect a turn toward Bitcoin dominance if weakness continues.
Liquidations Spike Across Majors and Smaller Tokens
CoinGlass data shows a swift spike in liquidations as prices fell. Liquidations neared $1 billion within one hour, and they reached $441.78 million over 24 hours. The total is the highest since August 29, and it arrived as volatility increased.
Ethereum led liquidations with $465.16 million, and Bitcoin followed with $256.29 million. Smaller tokens also faced pressure, with $109.7 million liquidated across names such as ASTER, WLFI, and PUMP. Leverage was unwound quickly, and both long and short positions were hit.
The weekend downturn began as Bitcoin dipped to $114,000 and extended into the new week. Blue chips such as BNB and SOL also felt the strain, and prior altcoin gains were reduced. The selloff reached across sectors and moved fast.
Analysts caution that sharp index reversals can precede higher Bitcoin dominance. They note the index fell below 75 while staying above 25, and they say the band can be noisy during fast moves. Traders are watching whether BTC steadies while altcoins lag.
