Altcoin Season Index

A handy indicator that highlights Bitcoin/Altcoin seasonal variations!

1 min read

The Atlcoin Season Index is an indicator that works by comparing the performance of Altcoins against Bitcoin over several periods. This enables it to tell us what phase of the market we're in when we look at this indicator!

It's useful for making a decision on the question "Should I buy Bitcoin or Altcoins more?". It answers this by telling you whether we're in a "Bitcoin Season" which means Bitcoin is gaining value against the rest of the market: the majority of capital invested in cryptos is heading towards BTC. Or, conversely, if we're in an "Altcoin Season", which means that most of the capital invested is going into cryptos other than Bitcoin.

With the Altcoin Season zone at the top of the indicator and the Bitcoin Season at the bottom, we can see that the indicator line bounces redundantly between the two zones.

The aim is to anticipate the arrival of each respective zone: to have lots of altcoins before they start outperforming the market, and conversely, to have lots of Bitcoin before it becomes far more profitable than alts. The aim will be to ride the various waves as best you can, by actively managing your portfolio - if that's your strategy and your way of investing, of course.
