The crypto market moves in cycles, and one of the most exciting phases is altcoin season, a period when altcoins outperform Bitcoin. As we enter 2025, traders and investors are eager to know: when will the next altcoin season begin?
Altcoin season typically follows this pattern:
• Bitcoin’s price surges, attracting new capital.• BTC reaches a peak or consolidates.• Investors shift profits into altcoins, sparking rallies.
However, timing this shift depends on several factors, including Bitcoin dominance, market liquidity, and investor sentiment.
A Key Indicator
A crucial sign of altcoin season is Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D),the percentage of total crypto market value held by Bitcoin.
• If BTC.D is above 50%, Bitcoin is leading the market.• If BTC.D drops significantly, money flows into altcoins.
As of early 2025, Bitcoin dominance is still high, meaning altcoin season hasn’t started yet. However, traders are watching for a breakdown in BTC.D as a potential trigger.
