Altcoin season is when ETH, SOL, and altcoins outperform Bitcoin — sometimes by 3–10x. Here are the 5 signals that tell you it's started.
Signal 1: Bitcoin dominance falls below 50% (currently 54% — not yet). Signal 2: ETH/BTC ratio breaks above 0.055 (currently 0.049 — approaching). These two together are the clearest altcoin season indicators.
Signal 3: Ethereum outperforms Bitcoin for 2+ consecutive weeks. Signal 4: Altcoin Index (tracks 100 altcoins vs BTC) exceeds 75/100. Both indicate capital rotation from BTC into altcoins.
Signal 5: Stablecoin supply on altcoin-heavy DEXs (Raydium, Uniswap) grows rapidly while Bitcoin exchange stablecoin supply shrinks. Money is being parked specifically to buy altcoins.
