📊 Altcoin Gains Remain Limited
Some altcoins, including Zcash, Quant and Venice, have posted impressive gains recently. However, analyst Dennis Liu (VirtualBacon) says these moves are too isolated to confirm a broad-based altcoin season.
According to Liu, the average altcoin has gained only around 10% more than Bitcoin since BTC's market bottom.
₿ Bitcoin Still Dominates
Liu points to the Total 2-to-Bitcoin ratio, which compares the market value of altcoins excluding Bitcoin with BTC. He describes the chart as “very flat,” suggesting that most altcoins are still not significantly outperforming Bitcoin.
Even major cryptocurrencies such as XRP, Ethereum, Solana and BNB have not shown the broad outperformance typically associated with previous alt seasons.
🚀 A Few Tokens Are Standing Out
Several individual tokens have performed strongly:
🟢 Zcash: up more than 726% over one year🟢 Quant: surged from around $59 to $370 before settling near $255🟢 FIL: gained around 8%🟢 ZRO: gained around 10%
But Liu considers these isolated rallies rather than evidence of a market-wide rotation into altcoins.
🔄 Bitcoin Remains in a Narrow Range
Bitcoin has struggled to break higher after being rejected near $87,000.
It bounced from around $85,000 and has since moved sideways near the $85,000–$86,000 area. Bitcoin's market capitalization remains around $1.72 trillion, with a market share close to 58%.
⚠️ Why Isolated Rallies Can Mislead
Liu warns investors not to assume that Bitcoin must reach a new all-time high before altcoins can rally.
The strategy worked during some previous cycles, such as 2017 and late 2020, but failed in 2024, when Bitcoin reached new highs while many altcoins continued to underperform.
His approach is therefore to focus on individual altcoin opportunities instead of waiting for a broad “alt season” signal.
🎯 Key Bitcoin Levels
Liu identifies approximately $83,000 as Bitcoin's daily pivot.
📉 Below $83,000 → potential move toward $78,000 bull-market support📈 Above the pivot → possibility of another move toward and beyond $87,000
🔥 Bottom Line
The crypto market is showing pockets of altcoin strength, but the data does not yet indicate a broad-based altcoin season.
For now, the market appears to be driven more by selective token rallies than a widespread rotation away from Bitcoin.
