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.
