BitcoinWorld Altcoin Season Index Slips to 36: What It Signals for Crypto Markets CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index has dropped nine points to 36, down from 45 the previous day, signaling a continued period of Bitcoin dominance over the broader cryptocurrency market.

The index, which tracks the performance of the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization excluding stablecoins and wrapped tokens, is a widely watched barometer for market cycles.

Understanding the Altcoin Season Index The index compares the price performance of Bitcoin against the top 100 altcoins over a 90-day rolling window. A reading of 100 indicates that nearly all altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin, while a reading of 0 suggests the opposite.

Altcoin season is typically declared when 75% of the top 100 coins beat Bitcoin’s performance, whereas a reading below 25 is considered Bitcoin season.
