Bitcoin is holding steady, but altcoins are starting to steal the show.

PEPE jumped 14%, DOT and ATOM gained over 5%, while the Altcoin Season Index climbed to 58/100.

But here's the catch 👀

Bitcoin futures open interest is rising while price stays almost flat. That's new positioning, not confirmed bullish momentum.

Plus, $635M flowed out of US spot Bitcoin ETFs on Thursday.

My take: Altcoins are showing strength, but I wouldn't call this a confirmed altseason yet. ETF flows, BTC price action and leverage need watching.

A sharp move can come in either direction. Manage risk accordingly.
