The Altcoin Season Index currently reads 43, indicating neutral market conditions where neither altcoins nor Bitcoin have a decisive performance edge over the recent period. The figure sits below the 75 threshold that signals altseason and above the 25 level associated with Bitcoin season.
The Altcoin Season Index measures how many of the top 50 altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin over the last 90 days. When 75% of those assets outperform BTC, the market is considered to be in “altseason.” Readings below 25 indicate a tilt toward Bitcoin outperformance, while values between 25 and 75 suggest a mixed or balanced market. The methodology and live gauge are publicly available via the Altcoin Season Index analytical page.
A reading of 43 suggests a broadly even contest between altcoins and Bitcoin, with pockets of outperformance on both sides. Traders often use this indicator to gauge relative momentum and to contextualize sector rotation within crypto portfolios. However, it should be considered alongside other metrics such as liquidity, volatility, and on-chain activity for a fuller market view.
Looking ahead, a sustained move above 75 would indicate a transition into altseason, while a drop below 25 would point to renewed Bitcoin dominance. Until then, the index implies a balanced market landscape.
