📊 The Altcoin Season hasn’t arrived yet, but spring is already not far away
Current Altcoin Season Index: 36
(Usually >75 to enter a true Altcoin season)
Bitcoin Season Index: 100 → The market is still dominated by BTC
😨 Fear and Greed Index: 40 (Fear zone)
Compared with the extreme greed of 80 and fear of 60, current sentiment is relatively cold—often also an opportunity window for setting up positions.

📌 April Observation
On-chain, a batch of “monster coins” has started to show unusual activity, and some quality altcoins have quietly slipped away from the bottom.
Although a full Altcoin season hasn’t formed yet, clear signs of capital probing are evident.
📈 Strategy Suggestions
· ✅ Stage your entries—altcoins with solid fundamentals; mainly go long
· ❌ Shorting must be extremely cautious—at low levels + with fear in the market, it’s easy to become a target for a short squeeze
🎯 You don’t need to wait for “index confirmation” before acting.
Smart money always quietly builds positions amid fear.
