The Altcoin Season Index suggests that altcoins may soon outperform BTC, regardless of whether Bitcoin goes up or down.
This happens because many altcoins are already going through a price stabilization process, while BTC still has room for another downside move, as it remains at elevated levels above $87K.
We are seeing a setup similar to 2019 or 2022, when many altcoins failed to print new lows, while the Top 10 by market cap experienced much deeper drawdowns.
Social interest in cryptocurrencies has literally collapsed.
From my perspective, this is not a positive signal. Historically, similar conditions have been associated with two outcomes: 1️⃣ Prolonged price consolidation and heightened instability. 2️⃣ The sustainment of a bear market lasting around one year in previous cycles.
That said, many may interpret this environment as an opportunity to accumulate while interest is scarce — and I don’t completely dismiss that view.
“Buy when no one wants to, and sell when everyone is eager to buy.”
Still, it’s essential to combine sentiment analysis with on-chain level metrics, which have historically been far more effective at identifying market bottoms than sentiment indicators alone.
🚨 *Bitcoin to 300,000 by 2026?* No, it's not a wild guess — the current BTC chart is *almost identical* to 2022. Same structure, same timing, same vibes.
Last time, BTC dipped, chopped, then exploded. This time? It’s setting up the same way — and history might just repeat.
If the pattern plays out, we’re now in the *buy zone* — before the world wakes up.
With ETF demand rising, the halving behind us, and macro pressure building, *300K isn’t crazy — it’s possible.*
💡 RECOMMENDATION: 👀 Monitor BTC price action ⚠️ Be careful with new LONGs 💡 Wait for confirmation before deciding 📉 BTC is below EMA-200 - negative trend
