Altseason Doesn't Announce Itself !
It appears with moves like this
So far this month we have seen some signs
$RENDER +50%
$AERO +48%
$FET +38%
$INJ +25%
$TAO +22%
and more...
All this happened with Bitcoin breaking the $90k resistance.
It's going to turn even more bullish here for Altcoins as well.
👉 TOTAL3 IS DOING WHAT IT ALWAYS DOES BEFORE EXPANSION
Start with the top chart. Total3, the altcoin market cap excluding BTC and ETH, has been respecting the same rising support since 2023.
Every major correction has landed on that line and bounced. No structural breakdown. No long-term damage.
Right now, we’re sitting there again.
This isn’t a breakout yet, but it’s exactly where previous altcoin uptrends restarted. Price compressed, sellers exhausted, and then momentum slowly shifted upward.
When Total3 holds higher lows over years, it’s not distribution. It’s accumulation happening in phases.
Altseasons don’t begin at the top.
They begin at boring supports like this.
👉 ETH VS BTC IS QUIETLY TURNING THE CORNER
ETHBTC is one of the most ignored but important charts in crypto.
When Ethereum starts outperforming Bitcoin, it usually signals that the market is ready to move further down the risk curve.
That’s what this chart is hinting at now.
After a long downtrend, ETHBTC has started forming higher lows and breaking short-term bearish structures.
This doesn’t mean ETH explodes tomorrow, but it shows that relative weakness is fading.
Historically, this is how alt moves begin.
BTC leads.
ETH catches up.
Altcoins follow.
ETH strength is not the altseason itself. It’s the permission slip.
👉 BTC DOMINANCE IS LOSING CONTROL
The bottom chart matters just as much.
Bitcoin dominance is no longer trending higher aggressively. Instead, it’s flattening and starting to roll over from elevated levels.
That’s not bearish for crypto. It’s constructive for everything outside BTC.
Altseasons don’t start when dominance collapses in one move.
They start when dominance stops making higher highs and capital begins rotating quietly.
That’s what this looks like.
Money doesn’t leave crypto.
It redistributes within it.
And when dominance loses momentum while Total3 holds support and ETHBTC turns, the odds shift toward broader participation.
