BitcoinWorld Altcoin Season Index Drops to 45: Bitcoin Dominance Strengthens CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index fell to 45 on [date], down seven points from the previous day, signaling a continued shift toward Bitcoin dominance in the cryptocurrency market.

The index, which measures whether altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin, has been declining over the past week, reflecting changing investor sentiment.

Understanding the Altcoin Season Index The Altcoin Season Index is calculated by comparing the price performance of Bitcoin against the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, excluding stablecoins and wrapped tokens.

When 75% of those top 100 coins outperform Bitcoin over a 90-day period, the market is considered to be in an “altcoin season.” Conversely, a reading below that threshold indicates Bitcoin season, with the index moving closer to 100 representing a stronger altcoin signal.
