🚀 Altseason Alert: Capital Rotation Triggers Bullish Signals—Analysts See Crypto Spring

Bitcoin’s boring sideways grind? Over. Analysts spot altcoins waking up as money sloshes into ETH, SOL, and memecoins.

The rotation is on

Whales aren’t waiting—Ethereum’s funding rates flipped positive while BNB Chain volume spiked 40% in 72 hours. Even Dogecoin pumped 28% as traders chased ‘dumb beta.’

Warning lights vs. green lights

Derivatives data shows alt dominance creeping up, but OI-weighted funding remains negative. Contrarians call it a ‘bear trap rally’—everyone else is FOMOing into low-cap gems (and rug pulls, obviously).

One hedge fund PM quipped: ‘Altseason’s back—just in time for our year-end bonus targets.’ Stay cynical, stay long.

Altseason Indicators

Bitcoin has retreated 4.7% from its all-time high, dipping below $117,000 briefly during the Tuesday morning Asian trading session.

Additionally, its dominance has also declined 8.5% to below 59% over the past few weeks, mainly at the expense of Ethereum, which has been on fire.

Meanwhile, Ethereum’s dominance has surged 37% since late June to reach 11.8% as the asset has pumped more than 60% over the past 30 days.

Analyst “Mister Crypto” observed that the altseason index had returned to the 50 level, which is a clear signal that the rotation into altcoins could be underway.

Analyst ‘Titan of Crypto’ observed a cup and handle chart formation on the multi-year timeframe leading into this altseason. “Once it breaks, the altseason that most have given up on will finally ignite,” they said.

“Altcoins have taken the initiative,” Alex Kuptsikevich, FxPro chief market analyst, said in a note to investors before adding that Bitcoin has not been able to maintain its growth over the past week.

“At such moments, enthusiasts carefully reduce their positions in BTC, increasing them in altcoins.”

Nevertheless, the CoinGlass bull market peak indicator shows that none of the 30 different metrics indicate that we are NEAR the peak of the bull market yet.

Crypto Market Outlook

All crypto assets are in decline today with total market capitalization falling to a weekly low of $3.95 trillion at the time of writing.

Bitcoin has slid from its intraday high of over $119,500 to fall below $117,000 briefly before consolidating at this level over the past few hours.

Ethereum, which hit a seven-month high on Monday, had dipped below $3,700 at the time of writing, but was still up 24% over the past week.

Solana was bucking the trend with a 5% gain to top $200 for the first time since February, but the rest were in the red, cooling off from recent gains.
