- Bitcoin dominance above 60% signals a potential altseason by mid-November 2025.
- Historical patterns from 2017 and 2021 suggest altcoins will surge post-dominance peak.
- Patience is crucial as ALT/BTC pairs may drive a true altseason into early 2026.
As the crypto market buzzes with anticipation, a recent post by Ash Crypto (@Ashcryptoreal) on X has sparked intrigue. Posted, the analysis suggests that an altseason—where alternative cryptocurrencies outperform Bitcoin—may be imminent. The key evidence?
Bitcoin dominance, currently hovering above 60%, is poised for a potential peak, a pattern observed before the altcoin surges of 2017 and 2021. With the chart highlighting historical trends from September to December, Ash predicts a mid-November shift where altcoins could catch up, potentially extending altseason into early 2026.The post’s accompanying chart illustrates Bitcoin dominance cycles, marked by sharp declines post-2017 and 2021 altseasons.
Ash argues that once Bitcoin dominance tops out, ALT/BTC pairs will pump hard, driving a “true altseason.” This aligns with web data, such as TradingView’s observation of fading Bitcoin dominance momentum, signaling a possible altcoin rally. CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index further supports this, tracking the top 100 altcoins’ performance relative to Bitcoin over 90 days. Meanwhile, a 2020 ScienceDirect study using the NARDL model reinforces the asymmetric impact: a drop in Bitcoin’s price often triggers greater altcoin gains, a dynamic Ash expects to repeat.
Skeptics on X, however, question the timing, with some calling it the “673th time” Ash has predicted this, while others argue the four-year cycle is dead. Yet, the on-chain whisper—miners’ behavior and Pi Cycle indicators—suggests a market shift could be brewing. For investors, patience is key. As Bitcoin pumps in Q4, holding tight until dominance cracks could yield significant gains, especially for altcoins like XRP. With the market never topping without a dominance crash, as seen historically, the stage may be set for a wild altcoin ride.
