L'INFORMATEUR CRYPTOAltseason: definition
Altseason is a period when most altcoins clearly outperform Bitcoin.
Definition
We talk about altseason when most cryptos other than Bitcoin rise faster than it for several weeks. It often follows a strong Bitcoin rally, when gains move into riskier assets.
Signals to watch
- Falling Bitcoin dominance.
- A rising ETH/BTC ratio.
- More and more tokens whose ratio against BTC turns bullish.
- A fast sector rotation from one narrative to the next.
Frequently asked questions
Do all altcoins rise during an altseason?
No: capital concentrates on a few sectors and tokens. Comparing each token's ratio to Bitcoin helps keep the strongest ones.
