Have you noticed that altcoin season hype keeps running far ahead of the actual numbers?

Investors keep piling into smaller tokens expecting a broad rally, only to sit on losses as Bitcoin dominance stays stubbornly high. The pain of missing real entries or not knowing when to get out is all too common right now.

On September 28 the Altcoin Season Index was sitting at 64, below that 75 threshold everyone watches. $BTC dominance remained around 58.6% to 59% with no real sign of a shift.

Small-cap beta simply hasn't expanded the way it did in past broader alt phases, leaving $ETH and $SOL without the momentum needed for a true rotation.

This late September example makes it clear the market is still favoring concentration over diversification. Chasing the story instead of the data is a reliable way to get chopped up.

Anyone else seeing this pattern hold longer than expected?
