The altcoin cycle signal has flipped from Bitcoin-led conditions to altcoin season. Unlike the first rally in August, when BTC moved while altcoins stayed relatively flat, the latest rally has activated the broader altcoin market.
The key change is market breadth. Bitcoin is no longer the only major source of momentum in the move, with gains now extending across a wider range of altcoins.
This rotation signal will depend on whether that breadth persists beyond the current rally.
