Signs of Movement in the Altcoin Season Index: Is the Long-Awaited Moment Finally Here?

As altcoins regain momentum in the cryptocurrency market, the altcoin season index has also recorded a remarkable recovery.

According to the latest data, the quarterly altcoin index has risen to 48. This means that 48 of the top 100 altcoins by market capitalization have outperformed Bitcoin over the past 90 days. The data revealed a significant strengthening in the altcoin market in recent weeks. The altcoin seasonality index rose from 35 last month to 40 last week, and finally to 48. The index’s annual peak was 78 on September 20, 2025, while its annual low was recorded at 14 on December 19, 2025.

On the other hand, Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) has also decreased from its recent level of 61.2% to 60.6%. The decline in Bitcoin dominance is considered one of the important indicators that investor capital is starting to shift back towards altcoins.
