Alt Season Brewing? ETH, ADA, SOL All Outpacing BTC While Fear Hits Rock Bottom
Every cycle, degens ask the same question: "wen alt season?" Well, look at today's tape and tell me this doesn't feel like the opening act.
The Scoreboard
BTC: +2.4%. Respectable. But check the alts โ ETH +5.1%, ADA +4.9%, SOL +4.3%, LINK +3.8%, SUI +3.7%, ARB +2.9%. Basically everything is outperforming Bitcoin today. BTC dominance is at 56.1% and if this trend continues, we're looking at a textbook dominance breakdown.
Extreme Fear Is the Fuel
Fear & Greed Index: 11. Extreme Fear. This is historically where generational bottoms form. The total crypto market cap is $2.42 trillion โ down bad from highs, but not dead. And when alts start outperforming BTC at peak fear? That's the rotation signal smart money watches for.
Wall Street Already Front-Running
Today's news confirms institutions flooded into Ethereum before a 15% rally. They're not waiting for your permission. Meanwhile, 23 countries now hold BTC on their balance sheets, Circle's USDC just hit $75B, and the macro backdrop with mortgage rates dropping to 6% is loosening financial conditions.
The Play
BTC dominance peaking + extreme fear + alts outperforming = the exact cocktail that preceded every alt season in crypto history. The only red flag is AVAX (-0.8%) and INJ (-1.8%) lagging, but even they're just consolidating.
If BTC dominance breaks below 55%, buckle up. The alt rotation could get violent โ and by violent, we mean violently profitable.
