I noticed that the altseason index is now showing 71 out of 100 — that's already a serious signal. It means we are definitely in an active phase of altcoins, not in a mixed stage. Previously, the altseason index was much lower, but over the past few months, it has gradually risen above 70.
I looked at the charts — the blue line of the index is growing, and the gray line of altcoin market capitalization is also trending upward. This confirms that money is really flowing into altcoins, not just into Bitcoin. The orange zone, where there was previously a pure Bitcoin season, has already ended. The market has clearly shifted.
What does this mean? At this level of the altseason index, many tokens are moving several times faster than Bitcoin. LINEA, for example, is currently +3.85% for the day, WLFI shows +4.94%. There is potential because the altseason index could still rise to 90–100.
But here’s the catch — during such correction periods, sharp moves happen. I’ve seen it more than once: +50% in a week can easily be followed by −30% in a couple of days. So if you’re entering altcoins, you need to understand that volatility will be serious. The altseason index is high, opportunities exist, but risks are also present.
