The classic “Altcoin Season” is fading. With Bitcoin dominance at 59% and the Altcoin Season Index at 41, the market structure has shifted dramatically.

4 Key Reasons a Broad Alt Rally Is Unlikely This Year:

1️⃣ Capital Dilution: Total tokens exploded from 5.8M → 29.2M in just one year, spreading capital too thin 🌊

2️⃣ Predatory Tokenomics: High FDV + low initial supply = constant token unlocks (over $1B this week), creating ongoing sell pressure 🔓

3️⃣ Speculation Shift: Funds that once fueled altcoins are now chasing meme coins or high-leverage perpetuals, leaving traditional utility tokens behind 🎰

4️⃣ Institutional Focus: Big money is playing safe, concentrating on BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP ETFs, leaving mid-cap altcoins starved for liquidity 🏦

Bottom Line

We’re in a selective market. Broad altcoin rallies are unlikely—only strong narrative-driven projects will see meaningful gains. Don’t expect all boats to rise; choose your projects wisely.
