I noticed an interesting point in the market. The altseason index is currently at 71 out of 100, and this is already a serious signal. Essentially, this means we are in an active phase of altcoins — when money starts flowing from Bitcoin into altcoins.
For reference, here’s how this index works: when it’s below 25, Bitcoin dominates; from 25 to 75, it’s a mixed period; and above 75, it’s a pure altseason. 71 is already close to the peak but not the maximum yet. The chart shows that over the past three months, the altseason index has gradually increased and reached these levels. The market capitalization of altcoins is also growing, confirming that money is indeed flowing into altcoins, not just staying in Bitcoin.
What does this give? Usually, during such periods, altcoins move much faster than Bitcoin, sometimes several times faster. But there’s an important point — volatility becomes wild. A 50% increase in a week can easily be followed by a 30% drop in a couple of days. The altseason index could still rise to 90-100, so there’s potential, but risks as well.
Just keep in mind — during such periods, you need to be especially cautious. High movements attract attention, but losses can also be serious. It’s worth monitoring the situation more carefully.
