The altcoin season index has reached its highest level since January, with 38 out of the top 50 cryptocurrencies outperforming Bitcoin over the last 90 days. This has led to speculation that altcoin prices could continue to rise in the coming months. The surge in altcoin performance is driven by increased accessibility and usage of stablecoins and fiat pairs, rather than a rotation of liquidity from Bitcoin. However, some analysts believe that the drop in Bitcoin dominance indicates money flowing into Ethereum and other altcoins. Analysis of TOTAL2, which measures the market cap of the top 125 altcoins, suggests a bull flag pattern forming, potentially leading to higher altcoin prices. If Bitcoin dominance rises back to 60%, altcoin season could be invalidated. Some analysts predict that an altcoin season is on the horizon, citing strong institutional inflows into Ethereum and rumors of an XRP ETF from BlackRock and JP Morgan.
