With Ethereum, Cardano, and Solana rising, altcoin investors smell opportunity — but is the long-awaited altseason truly here, or just another head fake?

The crypto market has been buzzing lately with double-digit rallies across major altcoins. From Ethereum’s steady resurgence to XRP’s push beyond $2, bullish momentum has many proclaiming the return of altseason — a euphoric phase when altcoins drastically outperform Bitcoin.

But despite green charts and renewed retail optimism, analysts urge caution. Key market metrics reveal that what we’re witnessing might be a mirage rather than a milestone.

Altcoins Rally Across the Board: Are Fundamentals Catching Up?

As of April 21, 2025, top-performing altcoins are flashing strength:

AltcoinPrice (USD)24h Change
Ethereum (ETH)$1,646.73+3.18%
Binance Coin (BNB)$604.57+1.82%
Cardano (ADA)$0.645+3.20%
Solana (SOL)$140.24+0.62%
XRP$2.13+2.90%

These numbers are far from insignificant. With multiple altcoins now breaking above resistance levels, many market participants see this as the opening act to a true altseason. But according to AMBCrypto’s Altcoin Season Index, the conditions aren’t quite there yet.

Altcoin Season Index: Rising, But Not Roaring

The Altcoin Season Index — which tracks whether 75% of the top 50 altcoins outperform Bitcoin over 90 days — is currently sitting at 45. Historically, an index above 75 confirms a true altseason. While 45 signals growing momentum, it still falls short of the threshold for sustained altcoin dominance.

Altcoin Season Index Altcoin rally

“We’re seeing an altcoin rally, but a true altseason requires broader market participation and continued outperformance versus BTC,” an AMBCrypto analyst stated.

Until that threshold is breached, investors should view this phase as a bullish cycle, not a full-blown altseason.

Bitcoin Dominance Still Too Strong?

Another roadblock in the way of a full-scale altseason is Bitcoin’s dominance, which currently hovers around 63%. Typically, altcoins thrive when Bitcoin’s market share drops below 50%, indicating a shift in capital toward smaller assets.

At 63%, BTC continues to command investor attention. This dominance suggests that while altcoins are gaining, Bitcoin is still driving the broader narrative — a clear sign we’ve yet to reach the tipping point.

Institutional Sentiment and Macro Factors at Play

Increased developer activity, clearer U.S. crypto regulations, and institutional exposure have all contributed to rising altcoin interest in Q2 2025. Projects like Sui, Toncoin, Sonic, and Berachain are drawing fresh capital as investors diversify beyond Bitcoin’s macro hedge playbook.

Still, macroeconomic factors — including interest rate uncertainty and regulatory enforcement — remain wild cards that could shift momentum quickly.

Conclusion: Close, But Not Quite Altseason Yet

Altcoins are undeniably back in the conversation. Prices are up, communities are re-engaged, and developers are delivering. But the data suggests caution. Until we see the Altcoin Season Index cross 75, and Bitcoin dominance fall below 60%, a true altseason remains just out of reach.

“This isn’t a mirage, but it’s not a revolution either,” said one trader on X (formerly Twitter). “Think of it as a test rally — and the real altseason is still loading.”

As always in crypto, timing is everything.
