What Happened to Altaeason? Most people think altseason starts when the market gets hot…
History says otherwise. Lets understand where are we today and what actions to take!
Altseason doesn’t begin at the start of a bull run.
It begins when Bitcoin slows down.**
---
📍 **2017**
Bitcoin peaked in December.
Then alts exploded.
ETH doubled. XRP went ~10x.
Most altcoins hit ATHs **after BTC topped**.
---
📍 **2021**
Bitcoin peaked in April (~$64K), then moved sideways.
What followed?
ETH doubled. SOL ran hard. Memecoins went crazy.
Again — **alts outperformed after BTC cooled off.**
---
📍 **Now (2025–2026)**
Bitcoin is still leading:
• Strong institutional demand
• ETF flows
• High dominance (~55–60%)
But key signals are missing:
❌ No clear BTC blow-off top
❌ No long sideways phase
❌ No real drop in dominance
---
That’s why:
**Altseason hasn’t started yet.**
---
This cycle is different:
• Too many altcoins
• Liquidity is fragmented
• Institutions favor Bitcoin
Meaning the next altseason will likely be:
→ Shorter
→ More selective
→ More explosive
---
**The real trigger?**
Altseason begins when:
• BTC stops making aggressive highs
• Ethereum starts outperforming
• Capital rotates to mid/small caps
• BTC dominance drops
---
**It hasn’t even begun.** So my friends hold your horses, wait for the key signals mentioned above and accumulate Altcoins at every dip.
It starts quietly…
Then all at once.
---
So no — altseason isn’t over.
