Altcoin Season Awaits as Bitcoin Approaches All-Time High

History shows that Altcoin season is just around the corner.

Bitcoin has historically dominated during the early stages of the bull cycle, attracting the majority of investor attention and capital as it surges toward a new all-time high (ATH).

However, once it breaches its previous ATH, a shift occurs. 

Investors, encouraged by the market's momentum, start seeking higher returns. 

This drives them to begin diversifying into Altcoins, leading to a period of rapid increase in the Altcoin market share. A period commonly referred to as "Altcoin Season."

What is Altcoin Season?

Altcoin season (or “Alt” season) is the time of peak euphoria during every bull run. 

When in full swing, it results in low-cap tokens seeing huge spikes in price and new projects being pumped based on little to no information.

It is the ultimate high-hype period of the bull run and is generally observed by the market share of alternative cryptocurrencies (tokens other than bitcoin) rising significantly against that of BTC. 

For example, at the start of the 2017 bull market, BTC dominance was at 85% just after breaking its previous all-time high. During the peak of the 2017 Alt season, it dropped to just 32%.

2021 saw a similar effect, with BTC dominance dropping from 62% to 41% during peak Alt season.

Currently, BTC dominance is at 53%, the highest it has been since March 2021. Indicating the next Alt season is just about to begin.
