Let's be real — BTC's been hogging the spotlight, but we all know what usually comes next... 👀
So here's the question: When is altcoin season actually going to kick off?

Share your thoughts:
   •   What signs are you looking for before rotating into alts?
   •   Which indicators (BTC.D, ETH/BTC, macro, etc.) matter most?
   •   Are you already stacking positions or still on the sidelines?

A few things on our radar:

📉 BTC dominance is stalling
📈 ETH starting to show signs of life
🧠 Narratives like AI, RWAs, and DePIN heating up again

But... is it real or another head fake?

Let's crowdsource some alpha.

Let's time the next rotation — or at least have some fun trying. 😅

My rule of thumb: alts run when BTC stops trending and ETH/BTC trends up. Right now we're close, but not fully there.

What I'm watching before rotating hard:
    •    BTC.D making a lower high and closing weekly below its 20W MA (structure break, not just a wick).
    •    ETH/BTC reclaiming 0.06+ on weekly and holding. If SOL/BTC and other majors make higher highs too, that's usually the green light.
    •    Stablecoin inflows (USDT/USDC market caps up) + alt volume share rising on CEX/DEX.
    •    Funding back to neutral after spikes and breadth improving (more mid-caps breaking out, not just 2–3 names).

Positioning: already scaling in slowly (not full send). Core = ETH, SOL. Narratives:
    •    AI compute/DePIN: AKT, RNDR
    •    RWA: ONDO
    •    Infra/feeds: PYTH, INJ
Keep 30–40% dry powder for confirmation.

If BTC chops in a tight range and ETH/BTC pushes up for a couple of weeks, I think altcoin season actually kicks off. If BTC rips to new highs again, alts probably lag a bit longer.
