Crypto World news reports that Glassnode’s Altcoin Cycle Index surged to 86 on Tuesday, which typically means that funds are shifting from Bitcoin to alternative cryptocurrencies. However, the latest readings show a different situation. Bitcoin fell below $63,000 this week, while many altcoins have only been declining at a slower pace. This relative resilience has triggered signals, despite a lack of evidence of new capital inflows. CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index is currently only 45, sitting in the “Bitcoin Season” zone, which requires 75 altcoins to outperform Bitcoin within 90 days. Glassnode’s model tracks relative momentum, and trigger signals are activated when altcoins drop less than Bitcoin. The change on Tuesday was driven by broader stock sell-offs, with the Nasdaq closing down 1.3% on Monday.

So is this now “fake alt season”? BTC is dropping more, making altcoins look more resilient, but in reality, nobody’s stepping in to buy the dip—and liquidity is still poor. These signals are the kind that make people fall for scams.

A 1.3% drop on the Nasdaq that drags things down—this isn’t a crypto-native market move.
This kind of macro-driven relative strength signal has questionable durability; let’s wait for US stocks to stabilize before reassessing.

Two indices are fighting: one says the alt season is coming, the other is still in Bitcoin season. I tend to look at CMC; after all, 75 coins outperform BTC to count as a real season, and right now, these 45 are just in a consolidation market.
