ALT

_Commando_

TOTAL2 is at an ATH 1.67T and exactly where we were at the peak of previous ALT season. Be careful out there...

hugo_posh

Oh damn, if they're posting that then i guess there really won't be ALT season anymore.

SPCE_BOY2000

the big explosion will be in ALT coins

WinterPurple73

So the ALT season everyone screaming was a lie?

ScatMonkeyPro

There will be no ALT season. What is coming is ETF season. Any coin with an ETF will rally, and any smaller token or coin that MIGHT become an ETF will rally.

Jayrovers86

Absolutely nothing other then BTC look how alts typically performed over the last 5 years. Most are never going to get their breakeven point back. Holding any ALT is financial suicide for 5 years

jwz9904

oh most ALT will never reach their ATH?

C-Dull

Look at the ALT/ETH chart and you’ll see why it isn’t

WinterPurple73

So the BTC just jumped and is aiming for a new ATH. After that, ETH will push for the ATH, then the ALTs follow! Yeah, ALT SEASON is here!

Ok_Seat5245

ETH is hot. ALT SZN is here!

therealharajuku

there’ll be no ALT season, let’s say it altogether. 99% of people here wishing for an ALT season are just trying to get tf out of their $3 ADA and their $40 DOT. Sell your ETH for a profit at its ATH, rotate the cash into BTC when there’s a 10-20% correction, forget the rest.

loud-improvement2

As much as I want alts to perform well, Ben Cowen’s takes on ALT/ETH pairs etc is very plausible. Unfortunately, we’re not in alt szn. Ben is one of the few genuine crypto influencers/analysts out there.

Crypto_King_Signals

Devils advocate........ When moon? When ALT season?... You have gotta zoom out and see the fractal pattern forming for BTC before speculating about ALT season....... This pattern has changed slightly but never the less it is still very similar...... Then you need to go and zoom out again literally to like the monthly charts for BTC and then apply the Elliot wave theory and Fibonacci..... It will surprise you and make so much sense at the same time! ALTs are not dead...... There WILL be an ALT season....... But you can't expect miracles ALTs will never explode when BTC is still forming..... At this stage you should be looking to target scalps or keep buying the dip and Holding....... Be patient be smart buy the dip...... sell the tip....... Even if we go into ALT season soon (which definitely looks possible from the charts, double bottom forming (WAVE2) etc on a macro scale.......) Don't forget the gap still needs filling for BTC after it completes this next phase Smartest traders will be looking to scalp this next movement and DCA like a god after knowing that the gap for BTC is still open....... Rome wasn't built in a day and neither were millionaires in the making! BUY the dip SELL the tip and DCA at every opportunity! Play the long game all will be good! ETF for BTC and ETH has turned a normal cycle into what now looks like a super cycle...... It's gonna be Choppy it's gonna look scary at points but use the information that you have at your disposal read the damn charts and zoom out!

ExorIMADreamer

Well let's hope it does well. I'm always leary about sticking with alts after they have hit coinbase. Seems like after day one it's just a long slow drop. Looking at you every ALT I've ever bought on coinbase.

Qowudyeibflsla

BTC sneeze. ALT bleed.

Qowudyeibflsla

BTC sneeze. ALT bleed

Farvaharr

Switched all my spot to 100% ETH, done with alts man even tho ETH is a “ALT” aswell U guys get the point, or would you recommend BTC?

Crypto_King_Signals

ALT season is upon us we are lining up for a parabolic pump, so diversify your portfolio you won't go wrong, it's not the time to be dumping $5k into BTC and expecting huge gains it's just not going to happen, you will maximise your profit potential by diving into ALT coins. DCA along the cycle, buy the dip sell the tip!

Immediate-Crazy-1004

BTC & ETH = Practical choice ALT = High-risk dream

Euphoric_Newspaper47

Did NFT’s ruin previous ALT season?

thejackthewacko

Best answer I can give you is telling you the prerequisites for alt season: BTC needs to drop below 60% dominance Top 50 altcoins need to outperform BTC (you can gauge this by alt season index, which needs to be above 75) At the moment, BTC is hovering on the 60% mark for market dominance, but alt index is hovering around 35. It just means not many people are pumping their money into the market atm. Usually, you see BTC pop off, having an increased dominance before ALT season happens. The speculation is people just mitigate gains from BTC into alt coins. Other than that, there's no real way to actually predict alt season. Despite its name, it's not something that happens as reliably as its name implies

Pretenderinchief

My brother, I’m lucky enough to say that poverty is out of reach for me even if I sold today. The US economy is screwed. Goodluck getting an ALT season on the back of that jobs report.

_Commando_

What an ALT season in 2025! It was as quick as last year 2024 Dec 2nd to 7th.

gsnurr3

Get off the minute candle. It’s ALT season. It’s that simple.

TomorrowFinancial468

Nothing happened to btc or other alts that day to rocket a single ALT up 65% which is what happened

DaveFromTTown

1. Keeta: Ex-Google CEO involvement. Fastest L1. Seems hopeful. 2. ETH: Obvious pick 3. Toshi: Wildcard pick. Most people feel Base coins will run if ALT season kicks off, and Toshi is The Face of Base!

royalgrammma

The ONLY ALT with ACTUAL potential is AMP. If they actually do 50% of what has been said they can deliver - this is the single best play of any ALT out there. Whether they deliver or not is the question….

Buy FBTC (or other Bitcoin ETF) which trades like stock. Don’t go near Coinbase. This keeps it simple and easy during tax time too. Disclosure - I do have Coinbase account with different ALT coins. I have had this for over 6 years!

NewBootGoofin1987

95% of my ALT coins from 2017-19 never recovered, but my BTC and ETH collective holdings are near ATH and my account is at 52w highs I think my involvement in crypto currency is over. The space hasn't evolved like I had hoped and I am pessimistic about the future. This is not financial advice and I know the point of this sub is to be bullish at all times *"This isn't an airport you dont have to announce your departure"* GL have fun

It’s called ALT season. Welcome if you are new. Have an exit strategy for what comes next. Good luck all!

Qowudyeibflsla

BTC sneeze ALT bleed. Gains from this alt season diluted again. Still below Dec 2024 levels

Mysterious_Ad_4658

its the dance of ALTs bleeding to BTC (excluding ETH), ALT/BTC needs to double bottom like ETH did before they make their big moves for the cycle

DDroNN

BTC.D BTC ALTS INCREASES → INCREASES → DECREASES INCREASES → DECREASES → DECREASES FAST (DUMP) INCREASES → STABLE → STABLE (ACCUMULATION PHASE) DECREASES → INCREASES → INCREASES FAST (ALT SEASON) DECREASES → DECREASES → STABLE It's a pity we can't post pictures here. It would be faster.

Mysterious_Ad_4658

the main reason for this is the price difference between what alts were previously in the cycle when BTC D was lower in comparison to ALT prices now when BTC D is higher, most alts particularly in the top 100 are 2-3x away from their all time highs

Commercial-Week-6558

Not taking sol as good ALT Look at all the posts talking about eth and xrp as if solana as an ecosystem is not worth it compared to loads of others Sure I get the point of some people saying that a lot uses it for meme coins now but it’s not only about that you know ?

1shoutout

I know everyone here is going to say BTC, but that coin is already on its top, and so is ETH, The moment it hits ATH it gets sold off, that is why I don't see big profits there if your investment is only $2500 (also the coins are expensive af) I would go for Hbar, XLM , XRP, and Dodge as you can make some nice gains if that goes up and ALT season is just starting, you can always go back to BTC when ALT season is done.

MrWorkout2024

No there will be no alt season this cycle. After the halving there was supposed to be this spectacular Alt season has not happened and most likely won't. I follow a guy named bare baked crypto on tiktok he's been saying since the halving there won't be an ALT season. He's been right a lot with his calls.

ma0za

I would say stop looking at it in form of BTC vs Alt Season and look at what coins are actually doing something. Im not convinced we will see major overall ALT seasons anymore because this time arround everything is much more driven by institutions and less by retail. Institutions dont buy memecoins and dont game in a Solana casino. Whats actually happening? BTC has captured a global store of value / digital gold narrative and institutions bought in. ETH is starting to be fully embraced as the institutional smart contract platform of choice as the home of Stablecoins which is the ChatGPT of Crypto and as it onboards financial institutions be it BlackRocks BUIDL Fund or Coinbase and Robinhood launching L2s / tokenizing Stocks etc. Apart from that, honestly, i dont see much else capturing relevant institutional mindshare. If there will be a alt season it will likely be retail driven and probably to a smaller extent as in the past.

SoggyKnotts

Doesn’t this just mean ALT season is finally here?

SameWeekend13

Now just once LTC crosses $180, we can say we are at the middle of ALT Season.

Longjumping-Bonus723

The prophecy is alive. BTC to new ATH. Now BTC dominance dropping. ETH next. Already,+2000$ from lowest point. Now SOL. BTC dominance still bleeding. ALT season is rolling in folks =]

Commercial-Week-6558

Well I hope it does. Because once that happens it’s officially ALT season that 99% of us are waiting for

Hitachi22

BTC.D is dumping. ALT season is here!!!

Camelback186

Is ETH near ATH? ❌ Then ALT szn isn’t even close

ozera202

Fuck knows bro I watched 114k drop all these ppl flee way too 35k , now I’m sitting at 52k . I’m probably in denial waiting for this DAM ALT SEASON

VeggieGurlie

Sorry. I can't get it down to three. BTC ETH LINK XRP ONE IS MY ONLY ALT COIN THAT HAS PROMISE IF THEY MAKE THE BEST USE OF THEIR TECHNOLOGY

SixtAcari

You didn't write it, but the reasoning is the same amongst retail. Don't buy BTC - buy ALT. Check OTHERS/BTC chart

Farvaharr

Alright, its time for ALT season man come on

scared_of_crypto

I think most people think BTC train is missed. ETH is next followed by ALT. When you think it's over is when it begins. #alwaysbullish but careful.

Own_Interest6498

I bought my first btc in 2016 for $569. I'd already be a millionaire if I had just stuck with buying bitcoin and held. But I had to play with ALT coins. Made 6 figures then lost it all in 2018. BTC is here to stay. It's the new gold. I'm all in with it for my retirement

zer0nerd

It’s ALT season now?

AprilsMostAmazing

I think some small profits on ALT's. My thinking is the sunday trump and then the TACO trump later on the week will let me buy back in at the same price or lower

DBRiMatt

Looks like alt season! $ALT is up +50%... /s

MR_PRESIDENT__

Be careful buying at this point for alts. July pump with lower lows is still very much on the menu. ALT/BTC pairs have yet to reach the range lows. Probably another 20% down after this months pump

**Alt Season 2024/25** In previous cycles around this time frame, BTC did ~7X in 2017 and 5X in 2021 while the entire Alt Marketcap went 35X or 13X! This time around BTC has only ~2X which is still remarkable because you can't realistically expect a Trillion marketcap to 5X in 1 year. Diminishing returns and institutional money means the flow to Alts has petered off and the Alt marketcap has barely ticked up over the course of 1 year in a bullrun. | 1-Year | BTC | ALT | |:-----------|------------:|:------------:| | 2016-2017 | 7.3X | 35X | 2020-2021 | 5.3X | 13X | 2024-2025 | 1.9X | 1.3X The majority of the marketcap growth from last year, was the ~$1 Trillion growth in BTC marketcap. Almost every single Alt is stagnant or down. There was a poor hag Alt Season in late 2024 with a handful of coins that pumped with the ISO-20022, Made in the USA, free from Gensler/SEC narratives that have gone up: XRP 6X, XLM 2X, HBAR 2X, etc. There is also TRON and XMR which have the lowest correlation with BTC that went up 2X.

> ALTs gets back to their normal levels. ALTs ARE at their normal levels. Just look at almost every chart of every ALT. An abnormal level is when Alts spike up to some ludicrous valuation that they cannot sustain for a few days or a few weeks. Then they dump to kingdom come back to their normal levels and then dump some more and then some more. This is why all the bagholders are cheering for the fabled Altseason so that the ALTs can spike up to some abnormal, unsustainable level so that everyone can dump their bags.

MarioWilson122

Naw those type of people are saying its dead or the ALT season wont come regardless im only speaking about this week. I dont think anyone can forget about tariffs because Trump wont allow anyone to do that whether they go touch grass or not.

MarioWilson122

Naw people were just saying that last year and it still did its just not the right time right now. It will surely drop for when ALT season is ready to proceed.

SixtAcari

Solid token for holding, L1 not L2 scam, made in USA, unlocked fully, potential ETF candidate I have some nice cash sitting in it, but you need to understand any ALT won't pump until BTC breaks ath and stops, possibly autumn / winter. But it's a nice entering point for future altseason if it happens. If you don't know should you sell or not - sell now and forget about buying alts, it's gambling at this point.

BoratOhtani

To everyone that are frustrated that your ALT Season hasn’t arrived, it will never come WLFI season is coming and dominate this space 5x on Monday, 10x on Tuesday, 15 x on Wednesday and so on You can either resist or be a part of this BIG BEUTIFUL MOVEMENT that is WLFI 🦅

There are simply too many alts circulating for there to be a genuine altcoin season and everyone is holding onto their "ALT" hoping it does a 500x-1000x. It's simply not that kind of market anymore.

MrMsCrypto

DOT is definitely a dead protocol. AVAX however has been.making news pretty steadily for quite a while now. Do you follow their founder or any of the devs? There's SO many big things happening. Its the most undervalued blue chip. When ALT season hits, its going to make you more money than the other blue chips.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen warns that altcoins are likely to continue declining against Bitcoin (BTC) due to tight US monetary policy and ongoing quantitative tightening. He notes that altcoin/BTC pairs historically dip in Q4 after brief summer rallies, with significant recoveries typically occurring in November. Cowen also emphasizes the distinction between ALT/BTC and ALT/USD pairs, highlighting that while altcoins may lose value against BTC, they can still rise in USD terms. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

_blockchainlife

I don't think I agree with the alts going to pump narrative. Now that institutions are involved, and that they only really care about BTC, I no longer see a BTC-to-ALT correlation. I think we've all seen that in the data recently. Sure there's some outliers, but I think the safe and only bet I'd make any more is solely on BTC.

Daily-Trader-247

Down to just BTC, ETH and some misc Alts. Have been selling Alts into Bitcoin. Its really the only thing making real money. Yes you might hit a 300% or 1600% on a ALT coin now but who is putting enough money into them to make anything. Also for everyone you win you probably loose one. Over the last few years, with all the wins and losses (40 ish coins) I made about $500 in Alts factoring in losses. and made about 80K in Bitcoin or Bitcoin related investments.

From Urban Dictionary "Bitcoin Maximalism consists of an exceptionally pragmatic individual who recognizes all shitcoins are inflationary to Bitcoin. Bitcoin Maximalists are quick to call out ALT coin scammers who peddle ample amounts of technobabble and hopium to those who are less knowledgeable under the guise of being technologists. There's a large amount of people wishing to pump and dump shitcoins who wish to silence or discredit Bitcoin Maximalists. The "accepted" answer is but one example... They are such a Bitcoin Maximalist... My shitcoin is going to the moon!"

MarioWilson122

Oh of course not if you are trading memes especially newer ones. Im guessing from the way alot of people talk here there arent too many degens here so 90 percent shouldnt be the norm. I do some of that tho but i mostly stick to Mid & High cap ALT coins.

searchingtruth1

Ask yourself why, if this "tech" and the projects behind it, hasn't Amazon, Apple, Google or Microsoft been scooping up these for big$?? Those guys don't let gems slip through their fingers, ever. Also, why is there almost no independence in price action? When its green damn near every ALT project is up about the same, Red same thing but down. Too many scams n scum still, retail is broke and not coming back IMO. Not worth the risk without legit shots at 10x+ returns anymore...

BTC is at a $2+ Trillion marketcap. That takes a massive amount of capital to move. The days of parabolic BTC gains are over but I think continued long term appreciation and traditional market out-performance is possible with institutional investment money keeps pouring in. But BTC slowed growth is going to hurt Alts a lot more. Alts only have value because of BTC -- they only grow when BTC goes on bullruns and retail takes profits to gamble on Alts. Institutional investment had changed all that and only a trickle of money is flowing to Alts. I commented this earlier this year that the bigger Alts are now reaching saturation points and will have a hard time going up. Ask yourself where is the money going to come from to move these large marketcap Alts most of whose marketcaps are today larger than they were 4 years ago or 7-8 years ago despite their prices being lower because they have dumped and dumped so many tokens on bagholders? Retail doesn't have that type of money and institutional investors have virtually no interest in Alts. > Reminder that BTC is slowly leaving Alts behind.

> Some of us just know what that usually means. The crypto space is full of Noob Bagholders like you claiming to be millionaires with their fictional stories. Your lies are so bad. ETH was $20 range in March of 2017 and BNB didn't even exist then. Binance was launched around Q3 of 2017 and those of us who were in crypto moved to it after moving from Poloniex to Bittrex then after Bittrex started having issues and stopped signing up new users Q3 of 2017.

Years ago, I was moderating livestreams and online forums just to earn a bit of money. One day, someone said: “We’ll pay you in BNB.” I had no idea what that meant, but I said yes.

100% TRUE !! This was not the case before Pump-fun and others made it easy to launch 100 meme coins a day with no team or goal, ALT Coins were Cool, and utility coins had some value. Now if you hold for more that two days you will probable loose...

Usually most are liquid, even if you are underwater as I am on some. I did quite well as everyone did in the last ALT run but got stuck with many ...

Sure, I can see the ridiculousness. That doesn’t make it untrue despite ETH being widely used. By definition an ALT is anything other than BTC. So to answer your question, an alt to BTC. It’s been that way for as long as I can remember. If you have sources to prove me wrong, by all means…

Wise-Grapefruit-1443

All we need is a nuclear war and our ALT portfolios will break even!

GloBall-

Nah IDK might be earlier but HISTORICALLY speaking, bull market always been 12-18 month after the halving and we havent had a "ALT season" yet... coincidentally the 18 month havent finished yet.. and it will be done around end october

Echo609

Alt season isn’t happening. With all the rugs, and every alt coin being vaporware, or companies issuing crypto in efforts to skirt the transparency needed to IPO most seasoned investors and most retail are put off by crypto investing now. And the younger generations who do invest don’t have a buying power to move the needle into higher market caps anymore. A handful of memes cross the 1B MF barrier. Most even popular memes stall out at 100MC. Anyone who’s been into crypto knows ALT coins are really just meme coins hidden behind fancy language, or just liquidity farms for insiders and VCs. No one’s falling for the alt narrative again. It’s all about chasing meme pumps and holding BTC

Mysterious_Ad_4658

its filled with ALT holders such as myself, thats why

FaZaCon

Don't EVER buy into alt coins when they're near their ATH. The only way I would build a diversified ALT coin portfolio is if the alt's were all down nearly 90% from their ATH.

Amazing bottom signal on alts # ALT SZN BEGINS NOW

sirauron14

I really hope ALT season isn't canceled... This is depressing.

xanokothe

It seems like ALT season started without ETH

BTC sneeze. ALT bleed

BTC sneeze. ALT bleed. Just keep bleeding them out

ciccio_yeti

You are absolutely right, but sadly 10 years ago i was 15 and didn‘t have pretty much any cognition of what trading is. Nor had i or my family some money to invest… can you pls tell me what AUM stands for? And ALT?

ciccio_yeti

Thanks a lot, that‘s a solid answer! Just one dumb question (i‘m sorry) What does ALT stands for?

Purplenastie

First, make sure you have 2FA and all other levels of security available to you activated on your account. Never click on any links or answer emails even if from BINANCE until you have verified it is legit. Most Crypto is hyped turds. Some people got and get very lucky investing in turds but most just end up with turd on their hands. Nothing is free. BTC is the safest long term play. But you will have to wait many years to make good money and you will not become rich with 50€. ETH is probably your safest ALT. My pick for Risk to Reward now would be QNT. But not sure it is on BINANCE. Read read read. Read up everything you can on any crypto you are thinking of investing in. Do your own research, do not trust what anyone says. 50-60% BTC, 20-30% ETH, 10-30% Your preferred ALTS (Ones that are bringing solutions to real problems that are actually needed and will be adopted by the masses) Look for solid fundamentals.

\- Learn to DCA BTC weighted by price. (most important and lowest risk approach to accumulate) \- Just because you have money to invest, doesn't mean right now is good time to invest. \- Have more BTC than anything else, including the shitcoin that some youtuber or friend told you will 1000x and change your life. \- stay away from shitcoins untill you learn whats going on (99% of shitcoins get outperformed by BTC) \- Value alts in BTC value instead of USD value. If your ALT is being outperformed by BTC, its not worth holding. (for example, follow ETH/BTC instead of ETH/USD) \- Convert profits from alts (in btc value) back to BTC \- stay away from leverage trading, "paid signals" and other scammy shit thats everywhere

Not yet. Trying to figure out if I should sell my ALT holdings or just buy fresh BTC when market drops
