Altcoin Season– An early sign of liquidity rotation
Overview: This topic captures market anticipation for a classic altcoin season, in which altcoins broadly outperform Bitcoin. The Altcoin Season Index jumped by +51.52% over the week to 50 (neutral), while Bitcoin dominance remains high at around 59%.

Implication: The market is in a transitional phase. Strong inflows into Bitcoin’s ETF funds (around $1B on September 21) provided a degree of stability, allowing capital to seek higher Beta levels in altcoins. However, confirming an “altcoin season” requires the index to remain above 75 and for Bitcoin dominance to fall below 55%.
Maybe we should watch for a sustained breakout in the ETH/BTC ratio, and rising trading volumes in mid-market-cap altcoins.

Question:

With 70% of altcoins trading above their 200-day moving average and Bitcoin holding steady, are we at the start of a sustainable “altcoin season,” or just a temporary spike?
