I've noticed that many traders use the Altseason Index from Blockchain Center to track when the market shifts to altcoins. I also started looking at this index — it's a very useful tool.
The essence is that the altseason index gathers data on price movements, trading volumes, and overall market sentiment. Thanks to this, you can understand where the majority is looking — at Bitcoin or at altcoins. When the index is rising, it usually means that capital is starting to flow into altcoins.
What I like about this approach is that you see the full market picture, not just individual numbers. The Altseason Index shows the overall direction, and this helps avoid traps and understand what stage of the cycle we're currently in. If you're tracking altcoins, monitoring this index is a pretty smart idea.
