Is Altseason Finally Coming or Just Another Crypto Mirage? You Won’t Believe This!

Key Takeaways

So Bitcoin Dominance dips, and suddenly everyone’s talking about the altcoin season. But the Crypto Fear and Greed Index? Yeah, it’s neutral. That means we’re not exactly sprinting to the finish line, folks. More like slow-jogging through molasses.

The crypto market saw altcoins trying to act all hot stuff, gaining more than Bitcoin [BTC] lately. Big whoop. This is what typically happens when Bitcoin decides it wants a coffee break and altcoins sneak up during some bullish phase. Real original.

Altcoin Season Index

But don’t get too excited. This little routine? It usually lasts maybe a few days. It’s like that one friend who promises to stay for the party but ghosts after the first beer. That’s why a “real” altcoin season is about as common as a polite New York cab driver.

The last time we had one? End of 2024, according to this fancy altcoin index. Right now, it’s sitting at 61, the highest in 2025. Woohoo. Slow your roll.

If you’re wondering what counts as an altcoin season, the index says: 75% of the top 50 coins by market cap need to outperform Bitcoin for three months. Basically, a very exclusive club nobody gets into.

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index: The Market’s Mood Swing Champion

Crypto Fear and Greed Index

Even though it looks like more money was flowing into altcoins, the market’s mood was about as enthusiastic as someone stuck in traffic with a sad sandwich. Bitcoin’s volatility since mid-July? Let’s just say it’s like watching a soap opera that keeps repeating the same drama.

The Fear and Greed Index? A big ol’ lukewarm 50. Last month’s 74? Now that was a greedy teenager blasting through a shopping spree. Right now? More like your grandma asking if you want some tea.

So yeah, there’s room for the market to climb, but don’t expect an immediate miracle. This index basically just confirms that the market isn’t completely losing its mind, which is some consolation, I guess.

Bitcoin Dominance

Then we have analyst Ibrahim, who posted on CryptoQuant that altseason has officially begun. Why? Bitcoin Dominance dropped below 60%, which apparently is a “key support level” on the weekly chart. I don’t know about you, but this sounds like financial astrology to me.

AMBCrypto agrees, but warns altcoins won’t be blasting off to the moon just yet because hey, it’s only the weekly timeframe. Also, Bitcoin Dominance has to dive under 55.36% to really make things interesting. Sounds like a very specific diet plan.

At press time, Bitcoin might just bounce back stronger than my desire to avoid small talk at parties, grabbing back all that capital flow like a clingy ex. If that happens, altcoins could get some cash thrown their way later, fueling that elusive altseason everyone’s buzzing about.

So, investors? Strap in, maybe bring some snacks, because the conditions for altseason in Q4 2025 are… well, “ripening.” Like fruit you found in the back of the fridge. Patience is apparently your best friend in the coming weeks. Or bitter disappointment. Same thing, really.
