Azcnews Bitcoin Surges Again, Signaling The Start Of Altcoin Season

Bitcoin surged to $97,000 yesterday, leading to an explosion in the value of Altcoins in the market. The cryptocurrency market is witnessing strong volatility as the Altcoin Season Index climbed to 59, signaling a vibrant period for Altcoins.

Although still holding a strong position at 57.3%, Bitcoin dominance has slightly decreased, reflecting the growing interest of investors in Altcoins. The Altcoin Season Index recently increased sharply from 33 to 59, approaching the threshold of 75 – the official confirmation of Altcoin season.

This trend shows the growth momentum of Altcoins, especially driven by large price movements from coins such as Ethereum, Solana and XRP. Historically, such periods have been accompanied by a decline in Bitcoin dominance, allowing Altcoins to take over the market.
