What This Chart Tells You About Altcoin Seasons (And How to Profit) šŸ‘‡

1ļøāƒ£ Bitcoin Leads, Altcoins Follow

  • Bitcoin Local Tops: When Bitcoin (BTC) dominates the market and reaches its local peak, it sets the stage for altcoin season.

  • Example: After Bitcoinā€™s rally in early 2021, altcoins surged as dominance fell.

2ļøāƒ£ The Altseason Trigger šŸ”‘

  • Watch for the "Dominance Falls" signal:

    • BTC dominance drops as traders shift their capital into Ethereum and other altcoins.
