“Another altseason signal has flashed, and it’s positively gargantuan,” declared analyst Ito Shimotsuma on Thursday, with the kind of enthusiasm one might reserve for spotting a double rainbow or a particularly well-buttered scone. He went on to explain that Bitcoin dominance has formed a “rare death cross,” an event so elusive it happens about as often as Jeeves takes a day off. “The last two instances resulted in parabolic gains for altcoins,” he added, sounding rather like a man who’s just discovered a winning trifecta. “And I’m convinced it’ll happen again.”
Bitcoin dominance, it seems, has taken a bit of a tumble, falling 12% from its June high of 66% to just below 58% at present. This, according to those in the know, is the most significant decline in BTC market share since mid-2022-a year that, coincidentally, also saw the world collectively decide that avocado toast was overrated.
Another Altseason signal has flashed.
And it’s much bigger than anything you have seen.
Bitcoin dominance has formed a rare death cross, which only happens once each cycle.
It happened in 2016, 2021 and has now happened.

Altcoin All-Time High Season?
Altcoins have been having a week so splendid it could make a peacock blush. Hyperliquid (HYPE), for instance, hit a peak of $59.30 on Thursday, while Binance Coin (BNB) topped $1,000 on the same day. Meanwhile, Ethereum is a mere 8% away from a new record, and the iFinex Leo Token (LEO) is just 6% shy of its own. XRP and Solana (SOL) are hanging out at 16% down, and Tron (TRX) is lounging 19% away from glory.
The rest of the top thirty altcoins, however, are still languishing somewhere between 55% and 85% down from their all-time highs, making Ethereum the likeliest candidate to hit a new peak first, given its recent momentum.
Analyst ‘Colin Talks Crypto’ observed that the “Total3,” which represents altcoins and stablecoins, is breaking out, and the altcoins without including stablecoins are on the cusp of a breakout. Meanwhile, ‘0xNobler’ declared that every altseason has started in September, “and this one won’t be any different.” Clearly, September is to altcoins what Wimbledon is to strawberries.
The historical trend is undeniable.
Each cycle, altcoin season has kicked off after hitting a similar resistance level-in 2017, 2021, and we just hit it again in 2025.
This chart suggests we could be on the verge of the next major run.

Today’s Top Altcoin Movers
Most altcoins are flat today, but Chainlink has added 3% to reach $24.50 at the time of writing. The asset came tantalizingly close to $30 in December but has yet to return to that price level. Avalanche, meanwhile, is positively frolicking with a 5.4% gain, topping $35 during early trading in Asia. AVAX has surged 50% over the past month as the real-world asset tokenization narrative heats up. Near Protocol (NEAR) is having a jolly good run with a 12% gain on the day, while Immutable (IMX) has added a whopping 17%.
Everywhere I look I see more evidence of Altseason coming.
Jim just confirmed it!
