Ah, the whispers of “altcoin season.” Like the cool breeze before a summer storm, every crypto bro and self-proclaimed blockchain oracle has been breathlessly speculating about it since approximately the dawn of time (or January, whichever felt longer). But alas, the only thing “bullish” about altcoins lately has been the eternal optimism—or perhaps, the denial—of their fan club. 🚀🙄
Now, cue dramatic entrance: a market intelligence firm swoops in, declaring altcoins are about to outpace Bitcoin, the crypto equivalent of David challenging Goliath—if David was 30,000 avatars shouting “to the moon” and Goliath was a digital rock.
Altseason: Really Real This Time, Or Just Another Crypto Mirage?
On June 14th, Alphractal, the on-chain analytics Sherlock Holmes, took to platform X (formerly known as “Twitter, but more exhausting”) to hint that “something big” looms for altcoins.
Spoiler alert: it’s all based on the Altcoin Dominance metric, which either sounds like a gladiator event or what happens when Bitcoin sneezes and every other coin panics. Alphractal’s two-pronged analysis excluded stablecoins in one metric, and stablecoins plus Ethereum in the other, which basically means they’re playing Jenga with the data to see where the crash comes from next.
Historically, the first Altcoin Dominance metric has adored the 25% level like Bridget Jones loves Chardonnay—never straying for long before something dramatic happens. See below for thrills, chills, and 2020’s big bounce (aka “the glory days—that lived, like, five seconds”).
Behold! The chart. When Dominance hit 25%, cue party horns and upward rocket memes—until it nose-dived again for ever more “opportunity.” In 2021, it rallied above 50%—roughly around the time nobody would shut up about NFTs at brunch.
Current status? Dominance chilling at ~27.91%, eying that ever-crucial support line like an ex waiting to be noticed at a party. If things “reverse,” altcoins just might get their drama-filled comeback. Or not. Markets are fickle, darling.
Meanwhile, the ETH-and-stablecoin-free version has an 18% support level. Legend has it, when breached, the crypto underdogs start clawing their way toward Bitcoin’s lunch.
Bottom line: these metrics are giving “storm’s coming” energy. Alphractal (please imagine wise beard) swears these signals are good omens, not gospel—just high-probability drama with a generous side of unpredictability. So, will Bitcoin get outperformed by its plucky altcoin cousins? Market says: Maybe. Oracle says: Wait and meme.
These levels don’t guarantee the start of an Altcoin Season, but they’ve proven to be meaningful signals with a strong historical probability of leading to major market moves.
Ethereum: Still the Altcoin Overlord 👑
Meanwhile, Ethereum quietly keeps its crown as second-biggest digital asset, sporting a market cap bigger than the GDP of small countries (currently breezing above $302 billion). Naturally, its price dances around $2,504, which, despite a recent 1.6% dip, is still enough to make you wish you’d bought in 2017 (with the 20/20 vision of an enlightened fortune teller, of course).
Stay tuned—altcoin season could arrive shortly, or just continue being the Loch Ness Monster of crypto. Either way, keep your snacks handy and your portfolio ready for heartbreak (and possibly, snacks again). 😂📉📈
