So I just noticed something on the OTHERS/BTC chart this month. Its MACD just crossed bullish, very similar to the signals that appeared in 2020 before the next altseason exploded in 2021. There's also a descending wedge pattern that usually signals a reversal. Looks like the setup is starting to appear for altcoins to perform better than Bitcoin.

Many traders are now talking about the possibility of Altseason 3.0 happening again. Several charts show repeating cycle patterns—peaks in November 2013, December 2017, January 2021, and now a projection for February 2026 as the next turning point. The interval is very long, but the pattern is consistent. The market cap chart for altcoins also shows a structure similar to the previous two altseasons, so expectations are starting to grow.

But here’s something interesting—altcoin season index is still stuck at 31, which is actually still very low. A true altseason usually occurs when this index rises significantly, meaning the majority of top altcoins are outperforming BTC over the past 90 days. The current condition still shows Bitcoin leading, not full altcoin dominance.

So, here’s the thing: this low altcoin season index serves as an important reality check. Even though the chart looks promising and technical signals are starting to appear, a true altseason is broad—liquidity needs to be spread across large, mid-cap, and speculative tail assets simultaneously. Until the altcoin season index shows a real spike, we’re still in a limited rotation phase, not a confirmed altseason. So stay cautious and wait for a clearer breakout before going all-in.
