Bitcoin, which is the leader of the crypto market by market cap, started this week with a decline after an 8-week bullish trend, but it still maintains its bullish trend and signals that it can go higher. Additionally, it started to rise again yesterday after the Fed's decision to hold key interest rate steady. The Fed is expected to cut interest rates in 2024, imagine how high Bitcoin can rise then? I think 2024 will be Bitcoin's best year and it can hit incredible heights. I still think that many altcoins have not fully followed Bitcoin's rise. While 2024 will be Bitcoin's best year, I think some altcoins can perform better than Bitcoin. So, could the altcoin season be starting or when will it start?
6 Indicators That Signal the Upcoming Altcoin Season
Due to the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies, there is no perfect indicator of the upcoming altcoin season. However, considering historical data, there are some indicators that can signal the altcoin season.
Market Dominance Shift
Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D), which represents Bitcoin's share of crypto market cap, may decrease during altcoin seasons. This indicates that altcoins are collectively gaining a larger market share. The Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) indicator is a vital metric that can be used to track the shift towards altcoins. While the total crypto market cap increases as BTC.D enters a downward trend, this can be considered a signal for the upcoming altcoin season.
While Bitcoin Enjoys a Bull Market
When we examine the history of the crypto market, we can see that Bitcoin's bull market often ends with altcoins performing well, or even outperforming. In a bull market, investors, especially new investors, often turn to altcoins because they are more affordable than Bitcoin, which causes some altcoins to perform well or even outperform Bitcoin.
Significant Price Increases in Altcoins
Cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin are experiencing substantial price increases, and if the increases are supported by various factors such as technological developments, partnerships, community support and market trends, this is considered one of the most important signals of the altcoin season.
Recently, the serious increases in some cryptocurrencies, especially Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX), and Solana (SOL), which are in the top 10 by market cap, are remarkable.
Increase in Trading Volumes
As altcoin season approaches or during altcoin seasons, trading volumes of altcoins tend to increase as more market participants buy and sell these assets. Higher trading volumes in the crypto market are associated with increased market activity and volatility.
A few examples of this can be examined, but I would like to talk about Cardano (ADA), which has seen significant increases recently.
Cardano (ADA) continues its bullish trend amid a sudden increase in whale activity, and today ADA hit a 17-month high. ADA is currently trading around $0.63, and the increase in its volume is noteworthy. ADA's volume exceeded $2 billion with a 73% increase in the last 24 hours. According to Coinmarketcap data, ADA's volume exceeded $2 billion with a 73% increase in the last 24 hours. There is serious activity not only in ADA but also in many altcoins.
Diversification
Traders and investors often try to diversify their portfolios by allocating their funds to various altcoins and look for higher return opportunities compared to holding only Bitcoin, which leads to significant increases in altcoins.
I think 2024 will be Bitcoin's best year, but I have no plans to buy Bitcoin when it is over $40K, what I have in my wallet is enough for now. As Bitcoin continues to rise in the coming months, I believe some altcoins will perform much better. That's why I follow other cryptocurrencies very closely, especially ETH, HIVE, ADA, XRP, SOL, AVAX, MATIC. I believe that the cryptocurrencies I mentioned above can perform better than Bitcoin in 2024.
Recent developments and current data indicate that the altcoin season is approaching. I would like to end my article by saying the following sentence that I have been saying everywhere for the last 2 months: What is coming is coming.
What are your thoughts about Bitcoin and altcoins?
