The Altcoin Season Index points to a resumption of altcoins despite the domination of Bitcoin

The Altseason plays the watch. While Bitcoin continues to occupy the top of the poster, the other cryptocurrencies gnaw at their brakes. However, in this stifling domination, flaws appear. Some technical and historical data suggest that a reversal is preparing behind the scenes. Altcoins may not be KO. They wait, observe, accumulate. The awakening could surprise.

A summer like the previous ones: calm before the outbreak?

All eyes are turned to theAltcoin Season Indexthis gauge that compares the performance of the 50 main altcoins against Bitcoin. In July 2025, The index was rebounded at 27 After tapping the abyss at 11. This figure, as modest as it is, awakens a striking memory: In 2020, the index had dropped to 8… Just before a legendary rally.

Analyst Michaël Van de Poppe feeds this hope: ” For the past five years, the Altcoin Season Index has affected a low point in summer, mainly in June. What followed? A high second half of the year for altcoins ».

Since 2020, Each summer offered the same scenario : capitulation, market stockings, then explosion. This repetitive scheme gives ideas to those who think that crypto markets are made of cycles. Summer 2025 may well be remake of these splendid years. The signals are repeated. History could stutter again.

ETH, total 2, accumulation … Altcoins take their milestones

Those who scrutinize curves and candlesticks see a reversal structure emerge. L'index “Total 2”representing capitalization outside Bitcoin, has climbed 35 % since April. Above all, he formed a “Higher Low”, a bottom higher than the previous one. This pattern is often synonymous with reversal.

According to analyst Daan, if the bull’s bulls can push the total 2 index above the 2024 summit, this would confirm A higher top – The final part to structurally reverse the market.

Ethereumfor his part, consolidates in A narrow fork, between 2,400 and 2,700 dollars. In parallel, the ETH/BTC ratio tries to stabilize around 0.023 BTC. A break above 0.027 BTC would be a major signal.

The activity of investors follows. Accumulation movements are visible, and not only on ETH. Altcoins like Solana, Floki or even Pepe see volumes swelling. THE Macro context becomes more welcoming. The risk regains its place. The dice may be thrown away, gently but surely.

Why traders do not let go of altcoins

Despite the opposite winds, the enthusiasts of Altcoin Season keep faith. For them, there are previous ones. There are signals. And above all, there are figures.

Some concrete markers:

• 27, this is the current score of the Altcoin Season Index. Weak, but far from the historical minimum;
• 35 %, the increase in total 2 since April, marking a return of interest outside Bitcoin;
• 0.023 BTC, the support defended ETH in the face of Bitcoin since mid-June;
• 50 %is still the distance that separates most of the altcoins from their historical heights;
• 5, this is the number of consecutive summers where the index dug in June before going up hard.

Seasoned investors know this: The crypto market often rewards those who take a stand when everything seems uncertain. Michaël Van de Poppe's tweet sums up this confidence:

Since we are in the midst of a bull market and that the QE will soften, it is very likely that we are witnessing a much stronger movement than that of T4 2023.

Altcoins have not yet said their last word. They advance masked, carried by a silent force.

In the crypto world, it is better to avoid too hasty certainties. Even if some analysts claim that the dominance of Bitcoin could block altcoins for a long time, history shows that everything can change. And often it starts when nobody thinks about it.
