The Altcoin Season Index has shown a significant increase, rising from 46 to 59, indicating that an "Altcoin Season" may be approaching. The index measures the performance of the top 50 cryptocurrencies compared to Bitcoin over a 90-day period. Several coins, both within and outside the top 50, have outperformed Bitcoin, with some experiencing substantial gains of over 3,000%. Ethereum has also outpaced Bitcoin in the last 24 hours, further suggesting the potential for an altcoin rally. Speculation about the impact of an Altcoin Season on the global financial system has been raised, but the volatile nature of the market leaves the outcomes uncertain.
