Many beginners want to know: what exactly is the altcoin season, and why does it attract so much attention from crypto investors?

Altcoin season refers to a phase in which, over a rolling 90-day cycle, at least 75% of the top 50 cryptocurrencies outperform Bitcoin. Analysts use this benchmark to gauge whether capital is flowing from BTC into other digital assets.

This concept became widely known during the 2017-2018 bull market. Back then, countless investors redirected Bitcoin profits into Ethereum and other smaller coins, and as a result, many altcoins delivered returns far exceeding BTC within just a few months.

Historically, a full altcoin season usually lasts between 2 and 6 months, though the pace of each cycle differs.

“Outperform” means that, within the same period, the return rate of a given altcoin is higher than Bitcoin’s. For example, if Bitcoin rises 25% over 90 days, while Solana rises 80%, then Solana significantly outperforms BTC. When most leading cryptocurrencies show similar performance, the market is typically viewed as entering altcoin season.
