poloniex and bittrex are both silent for a long time
What do you mean by being silent?
If there is no update to share, they will definitely not say anything. Inasmuch as trading is still ongoing on both exchanges, i think it's fine.
Back to your topic, which is quite different fro the content:
Altseason will only come after the Bitcoin halving. Perhaps by the time the price of bitcoin becomes stagnant and is plunging. I believe that before the bull run, there will first be Altseason.
in 2015/2016,poloniex was active,alts season came every 6-8 months together with delis-pump.
