Altcoin Season Expected by November End: Analyst Says ‘Buy and Hold’

Altcoins have recently surged alongside Bitcoin, which reached a new all-time high this week. Despite Bitcoin’s record-breaking price, the cryptocurrency leader is beginning to lose market dominance. 

This shift has raised interest in an upcoming Altcoin Season, also known as AltSeason, as altcoins gain traction among investors.

AltSeason Is Not Far Away

Crypto analyst MikyBull Crypto highlighted that Bitcoin’s dominance is nearing a bearish MACD crossover. Historically, this has often been seen as a key indicator of an impending Altcoin Season. 

According to the analyst, the post-election atmosphere is driving this shift, as it historically acts as a catalyst for altcoin rallies. This potential shift in market conditions could lead to a phase where altcoins outperform Bitcoin in terms of growth.

Similarly, analyst IncomeSharks suggested that Bitcoin’s dominance signals a momentum transfer to altcoins. IncomeSharks recommends that investors “buy and hold” altcoins through November, anticipating continued gains as the month progresses. 

This analysis aligns with the view that Altcoin Season may begin by month’s end as investors look to diversify away from Bitcoin. Thus as for investors looking to make the best of altcoins might have to hold their horses until the arrival of a confirmation.

Arrival of the Altcoin Season

The Altcoin Season Index currently reflects that while Bitcoin’s dominance is slipping, it has not fully dissipated. For AltSeason to officially begin, 75% of the top 50 altcoins would need to outperform Bitcoin. This benchmark requires 33 of these altcoins to show stronger growth than BTC, confirming the arrival of this season.

Currently, only 19 altcoins are surpassing Bitcoin in gains, indicating that AltSeason has not yet fully materialized. If this figure rises, it would signal a definitive shift. However, for now, Bitcoin’s influence still holds, delaying the start of a strong altcoin rally.

If institutional interest in Bitcoin intensifies, BTC’s dominance could strengthen, potentially postponing the Altcoin Season until 2025. An increase in BTC-focused investments may extend Bitcoin’s lead, keeping altcoin growth in check until broader conditions favor alternative assets.
