Everyone's asking the same thing right now - when is alt season actually going to kick off? And honestly, I get why people are getting restless.

So here's what we're looking at. Bitcoin absolutely crushed it, going from under 40k all the way up to that 126k peak back in October 2025. That's the kind of move that normally triggers altcoins to follow suit. Ethereum did pump up to around 4,900, which was nice, but then it just... stalled. Hit that resistance and rolled over, and now we're sitting around 2,300.

The thing that gets me is how many people are already calling bear market while we haven't even seen a proper alt season yet. Like, most of the traders I follow are saying the bear can't really begin until we get that altseason pump we've been waiting for. It's almost like the market's waiting for something to click.

And here's where it gets interesting - I'm seeing a ton of bullish signals building up on the charts. Multiple altcoins have had bullish setups running since before this bull run even started. When alt season does arrive, and I'm still convinced it will, we could be looking at some seriously parabolic moves. Some of these coins are going to absolutely rip.

The question of when is alt season really depends on Bitcoin Dominance breaking down, and from what I'm tracking, that's starting to show some cracks. Bitcoin's still strong at 78k, but the structure is there for alts to have their moment. The indicators are lining up, the setup is building, and I think we're closer than most people realize.

Not financial advice, but I'm staying patient and watching the charts. When alt season does hit, you'll want to be positioned right. The timing feels like it's approaching, even if we're not quite there yet.
