$BTC The Altseason Index is a metric used in the cryptocurrency market to assess whether altcoins (all cryptocurrencies except Bitcoin) are performing better than Bitcoin over a given period. The idea behind the index is to help investors identify moments known as "altseason" or "altcoin season", where these coins generally show superior returns.
How the Altseason Index works:
1. Performance Evaluation:
The index analyzes the performance of major altcoins (generally the top 50, excluding stablecoins) against Bitcoin.
If the majority of these altcoins outperform Bitcoin in terms of returns over a specific period (usually 30 or 90 days), this could indicate an “altseason.”
2. Index Scale:
The scale goes from 0 to 100:
0-25: Indicates that Bitcoin is leading the market, i.e. it is not an altseason moment.
25-75: Mixed market, no clear dominance of Bitcoin or altcoins.
75-100: Indicates that we are in altseason, with most altcoins outperforming Bitcoin.
3. Key Indicators:
A clear sign of altseason is when more than 75% of altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin over a given period.
Bitcoin dominance is also used as a reference. When it drops significantly, it can be an indication of altcoins rising.
How to identify the moment:
Monitor the Altseason Index: Platforms like Blockchain Center provide up-to-date charts of the index.
Analyze the Market:
Significant increase in altcoin trading volume.
Disproportionate growth of altcoins compared to Bitcoin.
Observe Macroeconomic Trends:$
Launch of new projects or significant updates in altcoins.
Growing interest in sectors such as DeFi, NFTs, or specific networks that power altcoins.
Strategies to prepare:
1. Diversification: Invest in large-cap altcoins with a solid track record.
2. Risk Management: Set stop-loss and profit targets, as altseasons can be highly volatile.
3. Project Study: Identify altcoins with strong fundamentals and long-term potential.
