Don't focus on a date but understand money flow. Duration of the phases are parabolic meaning first takes longest & last goes fastest. Phases overlap & can temporarily reverse. Prepare accordingly.

Alt season is a function of the market due to new participants flooding into crypto around the same time .This is usually triggered by the BTC mining supply halving every 4 years (which causes a surge in price) or a sudden loss of faith in centralized fiat currencies. The duration of the phases are parabolic in nature meaning Phase 1 takes the longest & Phase 4 goes the fastest. Phases overlap & can temporarily reverse before continuing but we always end up at the mania of Al t season . It's  likely there are multiple Al t seasons per crypto bull cycle of varying degrees. The biggest one being after the end of bitcoin's bull run when the largest number of participants enter the markets.


Money Flow
- Flow of money moves into Bitcoin causing prices surges
Phase      - Money flows into Ethereum but it struggles to keep up with Bitcoin
Overlap   - Ethereum goes back and forth with bitcoin and starts outperforming it

Money Flow :
-Ethereum is outperforming Bitcoin and we hear talks of the flippening
Phase Overlap - Money is flowing into large caps where we see large buy ups happening


Money Flow :
Ethereum has been outperforming Bitcoin and large caps are going parabolic
Phase Overlap - Regardless of market cap, some altcoins with strong fundamentals are having pumps


- Large caps have gone full vertical and we're seeing blow off tops
- Mid caps, low caps, micro caps all tend to pump around the same time
- Large caps have been outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum
- It seem every coin is going parabolic regardless of fundamentals
- Meme's are everywhere, everyone is super excited and you feel the mania in the air

Has not altcoin season been starting since last year? I can't believe if that cycle was true. An altcoin is still growing when bitcoin is very stable. We didn't see any increase happened with bitcoin since ethereum has been growing so much. TBH it's quite difficult to determine whether we have entered the altcoin or not.


People are arguing altcoin season is happening anytime wben bitcoin stabilizes.

There is no guarantee that anything will happen in the order you say it will. We are about to see CBDCs and real world adoption. All the money in the world is going to crypto.

If you look at your analysis, now we have entered phase 3 where the ethereum rise has started to occur and bitcoin dominance is slowly falling. and then we will enter the altcoin season, after that what will happen?
will there be a repeat like the previous bullrun? Where after the market reaches its peak, the market crashes and the long winter comes?

Bull run is already occurring. The question here is until when, market will definitely go down but everybody keeps on grinding like theis season would never end. Almost all the project have been hit their new ATH even the old ones. So literally we already surpass the previous bull run and this time it's not bubble cause many institutional players that are going in too.

I agree with that, now it is in the Ethereum and Large Caps phase, it is very clear that Ethereum has increased when the Bitcoin price is corrected,
and also large caps such as Ethereum Classic, EOS, Doge and Binance are also experiencing the same thing, wait until the medium cap moves then low cap too will go up,
yes its calling Altcoin Season, Hold and don't sell cheap!

For me, the main criterion for the start of the altcoin season is the fact that the price of altcoins begins to increase not only in relation to the dollar, but also in relation to BTC. But if we look at the ETH/BTC pair, we will see that it is still very far from the maximum values of the altcoin price.

I am aware of this phases as you mentioned them OP but i am not sure if they are still correct for the current market anymore. I mean it all started with a strong bitcoin performance a few months ago. Than we had the Defi-Hype with a lot of new and small projects doing x50 or even more while most of the big projects like IOTA, NEO or DASH had almost no movement at all and those coins have still not reached their old ATH from 2018 while others like ETH tripled their ATH from that time. Now in the last weeks ETH pumped in a big way and of course Doge is pumping again which i would have never expected because it already pumped a few weeks ago. So those cycles you mentioned are not always correct.

The altcoin season already starts this year as we see many altcoins can increase and lift the price. Some altcoins can double their price and make a new ATH, but the other altcoins need more time to start. The altcoin season is not yet to end and will still increase this year, while bitcoin price can still increase later. But we can not expect the altcoin price can increase in a short time and we will see a fluctuation of the price from all of the altcoins.

I believe it is safe to say that we shouldn't Waite for a particular time to consider as the Altcoin season because most Alts have really had a good run since even back as January and are still performing well now. Am afraid if we keep waiting for Alt season we might miss the market if we are already in it and less dont forget that the market situation now is different from before.

Altseason is already here and it can be seen on all continents. The second question is how long can this continue.
I think that this will not last too long and it is worth being prepared for a fall in the market.
I think we still have time to grow until the next FRS meeting.

As I think, the next year will be a year of growth, a lot of well-growing projects can be identified with one DEFI designation. This is something that can bring you money, and I think many centenarians will agree with me. Decide which project is closer to you and support it.

Agreed, So many big companies and banks were seeing crypto as a potential way to offer the digital service. The adoption will be starting very soon. The price of crypto and bitcoin are very stable at this moment.
Im sure that the season can change anytime. That depends on the trend that happened in the crypto market.
CBDC can enter to the crypto. There are lots of crypto companies already prepared for that to happen very soon.

And it is not totally Altseason but Mass adoption , because Seasonal Market flow means nonsense for me and what we need is a real movement and not manipulated like what does happen since then.
Now that we are seeing a True value of marketing and investing Lets hope that what OP posted is just a initial going and we are heading to Adoption from the whole world and the money of the world will be vested inside crypto to be used and circulated .

I heard news, that investors start pay attention for altcoins and ETH, thats why we see growing of ETH last time, insiders talking that altcoin season is coming now!

I guess the altcoin has started early, even at bitcoin's peak some of the major alts is moving vertically and establishing all time high. And currently, bitcoin's dominance has been slash to less than 50%, the same numbers when alts started its run in 2017. Not saying that it will end up the same, or bitcoin's bull run is already done because it is not, we are just starting to see the beginning of it. But as far as altcoin season goes, it's run has started.

I would argue it is the opposite, the price of bitcoin stabilizes because people think its price is too high and they slowly but surely prefer to invest in altcoins, this makes the price of bitcoin even more stable and it definitely marks the beginning of an altcoin season, however people need to be careful as the price of altcoins can easily crash and this could be the case as sooner or later people will want to convert their profits back to fiat or bitcoin and they will leave altcoins behind and many retail investors will lose their money when they try to hold their altcoins not realizing that holding altcoins is most of the time a mistake.

The question now should be when is the altcoins season ending, if anyone is still asking when is the altcoins season begining then that person must have been in the dark. Alt season started late last year and it continued into this year. Already we have seen different alts doing impressive numbers and other old coins recording new highs.

Investing in altcoins now should be very strategic as no one knows when the corrections will start coming in. We're in the last stage that's if there'll be more to come which probably will take us into year end.

If there was no precautions measure already put in place like stop loss then that should be set up immediately as anything can happen. Avoid investing in shitcoin now, sure they have given huge profit but don't let that fool you into investing in scam as that's likely what'll be trending now.

Alt season is now occurring and it's the best time for us to grab the chance of gaining a good profit since we have waited for it for such a long time. Lots of potential altcoins are pumping but we can't say when it will end. As for me, the altcoin season could possibly end when the Bitcoin dominance occurs again so we shouldn't miss harvesting what we have sowed years ago.

Bitcoin Dominance is decreasing slowly and Ethereum is continuously increasing. Ethereum always lead the Big Altcoin season.Now Eth is increasing and will also lead the Altcoin season in the next few weeks hopefully.

Not so optimistic about altcoin coming into harvest season.  Apparently, bitcoin is moving sideways in the direction of $ 55k - $ 57k as a probe of the trend.  Though, ETC, EOS is showing a very strong bull run for 2 days now.  But I don't think BTC will maintain this level anymore.  So I believe I take profit and wait a bit.

its so unpredictable bro even now they are both making progress that's why most investors and traders are wondering what is the real happenings in here. More rumours occurs and doubts about it but as the matter of fact the growth rate of alts and btc is both become so optimistic during the uptrend in the market .. Seems its really possible to happen in the future again.. Now it willl become skeptical as well when bitcoin experience a masive dump coz for sure alts has possibility to follow after because of this results.

On one hand, a lot of people believes that altcoin season has come or has been on for quite a time now while a lot are still saying that it's yet to start fully.
Now looking at these, many altcoins has been growing for the past months, many are already reaching a new ATH and even shitcoins are not left out from the pump, to add to it even when the market is down a lot of shitcoins do not seems to care as they still pumps.
At the same time, currently Bitcoin dominance is dropping and it shows that, attention has shifted to altcoins that is also to say that altcoin season might still be lurking around while waiting to break out massively.
But nevertheless, one needs to be prepared for the inevitable and at all times because no one can perfectly predict this market.

Damn the alt season!, dammit!

that link you provided is a scam! we've already mentioned it previously, if you wanna lose your money so be it  but please don't share this scam here on the forum.

Investing in such investment pools, which offer a guaranteed payout on your deposit, most often turn out to be ponzi schemes. And for a beginner to recognize this type of fraud is very difficult, which will subsequently lead to the loss of money. Therefore, it is necessary to be further away from such projects.

Mmmhh ... Unless you're 'Secrets (https://twitter.com/SecretsOfCrypto)' himself, I think you should have provided a source. Buddy,  you have to be careful with this sort of thing cos some would call it plagiarism.

That said, the idea of ​​the post is good since the information provided by 'Secrets' is of high quality! :)

Don't wait for a signal for altseason. Look at individual altcoin and gauss its potential. Last, it was doge coin because of 420. Now, it was ETC. And there are other altcoins that have their own gain as well.
You can see not just all altcoin, just some individual coin out there so when there is actually altseason, you already miss many opportunities like those above.

@OP if you care for your account modified it by inserting the source of your post(unless youa re really the original author).  Plagiarism is a serious offence here and can result in a ban.   Many accounts had been a sample of it.

I still believe we are at the 2nd or third phase, altcoin season is yet to come and might happen late quarter this year.  Not all altcoin are increasing their prices, only a few selected tokens are.  The surge of Ethereum clearly meets the 2nd phase category and the hype and surge of dogecoin and other large-cap coins are surely the example of phase 3 but Phase 4 isn't fully realized so I believe we aren't at altcoin season yet.

The altcoin season still continues and maybe this month and next months will be the biggest altcoin season because I feel that the altcoin still has a chance to increase higher. You can prepare your coins by buying more while the price does not increase so high, but I guess that the top altcoin list already increases. But that does not mean those top altcoins can not increase more than now because the next altcoin season will come to us.

I also believe this. Ethereum is the king of altcoins. Ethereum is now continuously growing. This time the bullran is a little different. First Bitcoin, then Ethereum and I think it's the turn of other Altcoins. Maybe in a few days other altcoins will start following Ethereum.

may should be moment for altcoin season, bitcoin dominance drop alot and many altcoin have fundamental that will released in this quarter. while bitcoin ranging , major altcoin will lead the market to pump .

Alt season IS happening right now, I mean don't you see the increases made in the prices of altcoins? We are talking about most of the altcoins going super high. How do you think that price of bitcoin stayed stable during the same period while the dominance dropped? That means that altcoins went up super high in price to drop bitcoins dominance while price of it stayed the same.

It is literally the proof that we are in an altseason right now. I never really understood what people want, last year ethereum was around 130 dollars or so, this year it is 3.5k+ dollars, how do you not call that an alt season, even on the last month or two it became 3.5k from 2k levels, that is a huge increase. That is why I believe it is not going to be that easy to go on increasing forever, bitcoin will eventually take back some of that dominance and end the altseason soon if you ask me.

The meaning of Domination on each coin is not solely seen from the price alone, because Domination must be seen in general and in a broader sense so that everyone can draw the right conclusion for it, and I think Bitcoin Domination is still very strong at the time This is because if Bitcoin Domination starts to decline, then others will also experience a decline because Bitcoin has now become the basic benchmark for others.

l think also we should not waste any time, there is always a chance to make money. As you mentioned some altcoins have also started increasing and that means we don't need altcoinseason. Indeed when altcoin season comes everything will be better, however as l said some coins have already started getting better like ETH, BNB. The price of both reached their own ATH and no doubt it will be higher in the near future, we should use this chance.

If you see the dominance of bitcoin I am pretty sure the altseason will soon be present plus the successful eth cycle trying to pump when bitcoin is slowly decreasing. And if you look at when bitcoin goes down there are some altcoins that can still be supported by it, looking again at the market recovery is quite fast and that's what makes me pretty sure. altseason is awaited a lot, therefore it is better to prepare a bag so that you can get more results in this year's altseason

A detailed plan to mass destruction, a plan good for those who are able to create pump & dumps. There is no science behind this shit and the fact that it worked that way in the past doesn't mean is gonna repeat in the future.
good luck

Take advantage of this altseason to stack more cash in preparation for bear seasons. Before I don’t believe or care about altseason but now I believe that the cycle really make sense. Most coins are probably going to make significant price pumps specially the top 100 coins going to surpass their all time highs.

It's most likely that the altcoin season is here already. The price of most altcoins have started increasing gradually, and the dominance of Bitcoin have also dropped. I think this altcoin season would last longer because the prices of altcoins are increasing gradually and not rapidly.

True, at this time the altcoin season is in full swing but this has me worried, we saw the same during the last bull run and we know that this could cause a huge crash as people begin to sell their coins and they find no buyers they begin a race to the bottom from which it is difficult to escape, I really hope that bitcoin can resist the drop as now we have stronger hands holding huge amounts of bitcoin, but it is still possible we see a repetition of what happened back then and we see a huge bear market which takes us years to recover from.

Many are speculating about when the Altcoins season will begin, last week many took it for granted that it had begun, but for my part I feel that it is still missing, BTC has a dominance that has dropped, but this is not an indication that it should already begin, I think that if some altcoins are rising in price, such as ETH, EOS, LTC they are giving these bullish turns because they eventually have some benefits, as in the case of LTC that its fees are very low and it has sustained growth, in the article they speak that it can reach a good price, it is speculated that it may be like this:

Of course the market is having some fluctuation, in some cases it may be that EOS that last week rose 100% may fall, but for now the crypto situation can be measured like this:

Yes, right now we are into stronger bull run of altcoins hence expecting more intensive you bull run than what we are currently having might be ending up in big appointment only. Probably after bitcoin reaching its ATH and then staying stable for some time then altcoins may enter into another round of strong bull run. But, there will be no guarantee for that to happen hence just enjoying right now what we are having must be the best option in front of all altcoins investors.

At the same time, as per the last cycle of bitcoin and altcoins, we might have stronger altcoins' bull run until end of second quarter of 2022. So, there are a lot of possibilities to have another few bull runs for altcoins in coming months.

Hopefully, the bull run will stay with us until the next year ;D

After a long time of waiting for the bull run to happen, we see the bull run coming and give us the profit we want. But as you said, we do not know how long the bull run will continue and we can only hope that it will stay with us for this year.

We already in altcoin season for a few month and this season already bigger than in 2017, we can see Bitcoin and other some altcoin reached higher price than bull season before. More retail and institutional investor come to the crypto market that make the total market cap above $2 trillion. From history of crypto market, I think altcoin season will keep continue for 1.5 year more. $2 trillion of total crypto market cap is still small, if we compare total of stock market cap that hit above $100 trillion.

Even though many fail to notice that altcoin season has already started, many people are still focusing a lot on investing on it regardless of having no idea what's going on at the moment. As bitcoin's value continually increases, there's a high probability that altcoins will also follow on its lead. Many said that altcoin season started last May but little do we know, it have already started way earlier than we noticed. Regardless how much altcoins are growing nowadays, we should not let our guard down by failing to notice the price changes so we should always watch out for the changes that are happening within the market.

Every news will affect the market, it only on when the news came from it could be a big effect or just a normal price action in the market. We are already in the altcoin season, but unfortunately due to some negative news today the market is down big time and no one knows if the bear trend will start today, or we can still recover from this, I'm still rooting for the altcoins season to stay at least before the year end, its too early to end the bull.

Yeah, I agree that we are already into the bullrun of altcoins; till last week dogecoin was leading and this week we have ethereum into new heights and cardona is also performing too good. I believe that anytime dogecoin may get back to its usual business of scaling new heights, who knows? So, it would be too correct to conclude that we are already into a strong bull run of altcoins.

I am expecting bitcoin to join the party to take total marketcap into some new unimaginable heights but unfortunately bitcoin is into correction phase right now. But, that is expected as bitcoin kept failed to break the resistance levels around $60k which must be the reason why we are having bitcoin in bearish mode and altcoins are enjoying a great season.

In order for dogecoin to start its next bull run, Elon Musk's statement that Doge is accepted as payment for Tesla is enough. The shill of certain coins is not a general trend for the entire altcoin market, because the price in this case can increase regardless of the general market movement. Here, the main locomotive for altcoins should be considered the movement of the price of ethereum.

No one knows if this current market movement are  switch between bull to bear,

This current downfall creates panics and for sure a lots of newcomers losses their investment due to this market shake. If you don't need the money which inside your investment best  not to do anything than observe, whether it will bounce back or you needed to wait for another strong bull to comeback and hypes the market again.

Right, Altcoins season has been running since last year. We can try to match everything, but only a few things could match. It doesn't mean that the market keeps going as our prediction. If for the decrease supply, price was increased then how would the marketcap increase to 2.25 trillion? Investors are in a hurry to buy coins when the price moves upward.

That is why there is a good saying called "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent". Basically it means that the market will go down, just because elon tweeted, and that will somehow cause people to sell, absolutely no reason at all, not being able to buy tesla with bitcoin is not a problem at all and definitely not a reason to sell your bitcoins but people are doing that in billions right now, that is the irrational part.

Some people will see that, wait, and wait, and wait and until it drops under a level where they get scared and sell. That is the part where you can remain solvent, eventually you will sell. So basically there is no reason for it to go down, smart people will know it is a fake drop, and they will wait, but I also understand people who do not have any sort of idea how much lower it may get and get scared.

It has been a while since altseason has occurred and I don't know the reason behind it. Perhaps it is because people are aware that BTC is the main product of cryptocurrencies and other things are nothing more than pure speculation. If altseason occurs, countless people will win, because they probably have big bags.

we also have to look at market cap and 24h vol, because if market cap increases and volume also increases or doesn't decrease (stable), but BTC dominance goes down, then that is a good thing for altcoin, because altseason will definitely happen, but if BTC dominance goes down and market cap & 24h vol has also down, so it is possible that people have started to withdraw BTC, because it has gotten a lot of profit, then it could lead to a correction in market (bear run).

I agree, altcoins season actually has happened since the last year. We can see from the big improvement in each altcoin value. The total market cap of most altcoin also increased massively. It is the real sign of altcoin season. We shouldn't ask about when the time of alt season, as a crypto user we must know it well.

The altcoin market has been on fire lately and this is undeniable, however I think people are understandably worried, we know that when all altcoins begin to go up in value then that is the moment most people realize the bull run is coming to an end, will this happen again? How long could this last? Will this bull run be able to defy those expectations? Those are questions from which we do not have the answer but that will be critical to the development of the market during the next years.

Some crypto users still ask when altcoin season comes because they see that their coins are not increasing yet, so they are curious if it already starts. Since January, some altcoins have already increased and make a new ATH. But the other coins are waiting for their time to increase. So this altcoin season can still happen to the market this year and will continue. If your coin is not increased, you need to be patient because the coin will not increase together and turn to the other coins to start.

Many are still waiting for the upcoming altcoin season, but we should also consider the situation that the altcoin season is already over. This will only be visible after a while, then it will be clearly visible that the coins have already reached their high and now their price is constantly decreasing.

I think altcoin season is already near to end. As you can see, it's been dump in pass few week and now we already experience it but I still believe that it will keep one last time to make BTC hit at $70k before it get back again to $50k. We still know when will be the next altcoin season so we should be prepare for the next big wave coming. Altcoin really dominate this season as well as meme coins like Doge and Shiba.

I think we are already reaching the ATH for both Bitcoin and altcoins, so much hopes that dumps couldn't be the next trend but sadly, some altcoins are already there. And even Bitcoin is dropping back below $50k.

Meme coins are tend to dump early but those legit seems to stand still and continue to move high. I'm still keeping some of my altcoins while selling those coins that I see it was on the decline. I mean, I was anticipating the bullish ends.

I have been saying for a long time that the altcoin season has been going on for a long time and at any moment it may end, so every day it is more and more dangerous to invest in cryptocurrencies, as at any moment a large and long correction of the cryptocurrency market can begin, so lately I have been trying not to invest in cryptocurrencies, since the prices of various cryptocurrencies have grown to incredible heights and it is better to wait for the correction and then it will be possible to safely invest in various cryptocurrencies.

I think what is happening right now is "alt season". The dominance of BTC is getting a serious hit but till when..? That is the question.. I think 40% will be a crucial resistance to cross and we might see some bleeding as we're seeing more red in Bitcoin too.

Bitcoin dominance may dip further to 35-36% but it will not move further down as per the historical data. This means that altcoin don't have much room to grow now and anytime we may see the bitcoin dominance increase which may temporary pause the altcoin season. Need to keep an eye on bitcoin dominance.

What I absolutely agree with is that you write that no one knows when the altcoin season will end. That is why every trader should be prepared for any scenario of market changes. And in the event of a further correction of bitcoin, he should use this opportunity to buy coins at a lower price.

This time could also be very different and we will have pumps of single alt coins again and again so that the phase of anything pumping may never end again. Even if the market experiences a downturn there are so many greedy investors waiting for a pump that it should be quite simple to get something going.

We will need a few more days to know whether this is true or not, but it seems like the most sensible conclusion, after all the drop in the price that we saw was no joke and people are getting scared about what it is coming next and this is the perfect scenario for the whales to dump their coins, force people to lose their leveraged trades and get margin calls and create a chain reaction that makes the market to go down at an incredible speed.

There will be a revival after the fall, don't panic if altcoins are currently on the decline. The altcoin season is still ongoing. It is unclear when the altcoin season will finish, but there will be a rebound in the coming days or weeks, because it is still altcoin season. As a result, seize the opportunity and savor this priceless moment.

So many altcoins grew exponentially as BTC is growing So I think altseason started with BTC right now we had some huge dumps in the market and the hope is that it stop from there or it looks way bad to imagine I hope the market picks up and we might see some growth but I think altseason started long ago especially with the doge scenario
