Altcoin Season Index Reaches 46
The CoinMarketCap Altcoin Season Index has risen to 46, indicating a shift in market dynamics. This metric measures whether altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin over a 90-day period.
A reading above 75 indicates an altcoin season, while below 25 signals a Bitcoin season. With the index at 46, roughly half of the top 100 altcoins have recently outperformed Bitcoin, placing the market in a neutral zone.
The rise to 46 suggests growing interest in alternative cryptocurrencies, but it does not guarantee an impending altcoin season. Historically, sustained readings above 75 have accompanied strong altcoin rallies, while readings below 25 have aligned with Bitcoin dominance.
