{"content":"Altseason Ignites 🔥 – ETH Smashes $4.5K, Altcoins Next to Explode? 🚀💎 CoinMarketCap's Altcoin Season Index says that if 75% of the top 100 non-stablecoin tokens have done better than Bitcoin over the previous 90 days, it's definitely altcoin season. The market is in Bitcoin season if less than 25% do better. Bitcoin is the default currency, and with a huge market value of $2.2 trillion, the rest of the crypto industry is continually trying to catch up. The Altcoin Season Index is a means to get beyond the hoopla in a measurable manner. It smooths out returns over a rolling 90-day period, which keeps day-to-day volatility from getting in the way. But in fact, it tends to lag behind changes in mood; cryptocurrency rallies typically start before the index confirms them. Recent Market Activity There has been a lot of movement in the last two months. The Altcoin Season Index went up from 39 to 58 in August. Bitcoin dominance started to drop from its summer highs, which has traditionally been a sign that altcoins would fare better. The big altcoins were in command. Ethereum ($ETH) has caught up to Bitcoin and is now trading at $4.5K with a market valuation of $500B. It has stayed steady over $4K. Tokens like Chainlink ($LINK), Uniswap ($UNI), and a few exchange tokens ($OKB, $CRO) have also gone up in value. Altcoin seasons don't happen very often on their own. Changes in politics, movements of money into institutions, and the state of the economy all have an effect. But, as usual with crypto, how people feel is quite important. The Altcoin Season Index is based on technical analysis, while the Crypto anxiety & Greed Index is based on mood and sits just in the center, precisely balanced between optimism and anxiety. People in the market are apprehensive about inflation and the economy as a whole, but they are also excited to find the next great thing. #ETHWhaleWatch #SummerOfSolana? #BNBBreaksATH #Write2Earn $ETH $XRP $SOL ","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025092025/09/12/3c5bd11fbe844f2693db96f5ae71129d.png"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":["UNI/USDT"],"quotearticleid":0}
