#GlassnodeSignalFlipsToAltcoinSeason Altcoin Season Is Showing Up in the Data — But the Rotation Still Needs Confirmation The crypto market is entering an interesting phase. Glassnode’s Altcoin Cycle Signal has moved decisively into altcoin-season territory, with its seven-day rolling average reaching 83.55 on Sept 22, 2026, well above the 75 threshold Glassnode uses to identify an altcoin season. That number matters because this indicator is not simply measuring whether a few altcoins are pumping. It compares the relative market-cap performance of the top 250 altcoins, excluding stablecoins, against Bitcoin. A reading above 50 indicates altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin, while 75 represents the stronger altcoin-season threshold. What makes the current move particularly interesting is the breadth of participation. During August, Bitcoin was doing most of the heavy lifting. BTC strength attracted liquidity while many altcoins remained relatively weak. The September market looks different. More sectors and more individual assets are participating simultaneously, suggesting that capital is rotating rather than simply concentrating in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is currently around $86,500–$87,000, gaining roughly 1.5% over 24 hours and about 15% over seven days. But Bitcoin dominance has slipped below the important 60% area, sitting near 59%. That decline in dominance is one of the most important pieces of the puzzle. When Bitcoin's share of the total crypto market falls while the overall market continues expanding, it indicates that capital is increasingly moving toward other assets. Total crypto market capitalization has recovered above $3 trillion, reaching approximately $3.06 trillion, while the altcoin market excluding Bitcoin has climbed toward $1.17 trillion. That represents roughly a 33% increase since August 19. The individual performance data also shows the rotation. Ethereum is around $2,760, up approximately 1.2% today and 15.6% over the week. Solana is near $118.80, gaining around 2% today and 22.9% over seven days. XRP is particularly strong at roughly $1.62, up about 6.85% today. Other altcoins are participating as well: ADA: ~$0.259, +6.15% AVAX: ~$11.22, +4.9% DOGE: ~$0.102, +1.9% LINK: ~$13.08, +1.65% SUI: ~$1.03, +1.8% BNB: ~$792, +0.8% This is important because an authentic rotation is usually broader than one isolated breakout. Liquidity is another part of the story. Total 24-hour crypto trading volume is around $121 billion, showing substantial market participation. At the same time, approximately $1 billion in liquidations occurred during the move. Interestingly, altcoin open interest remains relatively low compared with Bitcoin. That can reduce the amount of crowded leverage sitting underneath the altcoin rally, although it does not eliminate downside risk. There is also a warning signal: the Fear & Greed Index is around 77, firmly inside Greed territory. Combined with Bitcoin's RSI near 71, the market is becoming increasingly stretched. That means the Glassnode signal should be viewed as a rotation indicator, not a guarantee of continuously rising prices. My main focus from here would be three things: Bitcoin dominance, market breadth, and leverage. If dominance continues falling while altcoin market capitalization and volume continue expanding, the rotation has stronger structural support. If dominance suddenly rebounds alongside rising leverage and weakening breadth, the current altcoin-season signal could lose momentum. For me, the biggest takeaway is simple: this move is no longer just about Bitcoin going up. Capital is spreading across the broader crypto market. That is what makes the current Glassnode signal worth watching. But altcoin season does not mean every altcoin rises every day. It means the relative flow of capital is currently favoring altcoins over Bitcoin. The opportunity is in recognizing the rotation. The discipline is knowing that rotations can reverse just as quickly. #Gate广场中秋团圆局 #ShareWeekly #weeklyshare [@Gate_Square](gt://mention/UlVAVVpbAwsO0O0O) #GateMeme狂欢季

9.24 Thursday ETH morning outlook Yesterday, the market oscillated weakly throughout the day, then plunged after the U.S. stock market opened, severely depleting bullish momentum. Following the weak sentiment left by the sharp drop at the U.S. stock market open last night, prices remain under pressure this morning. The slight rebound is extremely weak; selling pressure emerges whenever resistance is touched, and the price center is slowly moving lower. The bullish structure on the four-hour timeframe has not yet been completely broken, but after last night’s rapid sell-off at the U.S. stock market open, upward momentum has weakened significantly. The price has already fallen below some short-term moving averages, which are gradually shifting from support to resistance, marking a complete transition from the previous strong uptrend into a correction phase. Go long on a pullback to 2640-2660, targeting 2700-2760$BTC $ETH $XRP #BTC短线回调 #ZEC突破1650美元续创新高
