Picture this: you wake up to green candles across your watchlist, assume altseason is finally locked in, and rotate all your stablecoins into mid-caps.
The hardest part about these phases is mistaking momentum for structural support, leading to panic buys right into local distribution ranges where exits become messy.
The Altcoin Season Index holding above 60 for five consecutive days has sparked a wave of aggressive positioning. We saw sharp initial moves across tokens like $ENA and $AAVE as liquidity rotated away from major pairs, creating the illusion of a broad-based market expansion. But when you look beneath the surface, volume profiles tell a slightly different story. Most of the recent upside has been concentrated in a handful of high-beta assets rather than a healthy, market-wide surge, while established names like $FIL struggle to maintain sustained buy pressure.
Historically, prolonged index readings in this zone often coincide with late-cycle liquidity grabs before a sharp leverage flush catches late entrants off guard. When greed creeps up and funding rates begin to skew positive, chasing breakout candles without clear invalidation levels usually ends with traders funding someone else's exit.
Are you actively taking profits on these rotations, or waiting for a cleaner confirmation before making a move?
