If the trend line breaks, chart analysis suggests that Bitcoin’s dominance could drop back to around 50%, highlighting the growing focus on altcoins. Altcoin Season Index Hits 78 Along with the Bitcoin dominance breakdown, the Altcoin Season Index has surged to 78 , surpassing the critical level of 75%. Captain Faibik points out that when the index goes above 75%, it shows that the top 50 cryptocurrencies have been performing better than Bitcoin over the past 90 days. This is a clear sign that altcoins are currently outpacing Bitcoin. However, coins like XRP have surged an impressive 360% in the last 30 days. Solana recently reached new record highs, touching the $260 mark. Cardano has risen over 208% in the same period, and Ethereum is now aiming to retest the $4,000 level. Opportunities for Altcoin Traders Faibik believes this is a great time for traders to focus on altcoins. When Bitcoin dominance drops, smaller cryptocurrencies often see big gains. Past altcoin seasons have delivered huge profits, and Faibik expects similar opportunities this time.
