Coins without aligned daily candles are excluded. Market rank is current, not historical.

How the index is calculated

The index measures how broad the move is, not how big. Every coin carries equal weight, so one pumping token cannot move it.

  1. 1

    Take the top altcoins

    Current top 50, 100 or 200 active altcoins by market rank (100 is the standard index). Bitcoin, stablecoins, tokenized gold and wrapped or staked duplicates (WBTC, stETH, JitoSOL…) are excluded.

  2. 2

    Compare each with Bitcoin

    USD return of every coin vs BTC over the same closed daily candles. Index = 100 × coins beating BTC ÷ coins with data. At least 70% of the universe (and no fewer than 25 coins) must have data.

  3. 3

    Read the regime

    75–100 is a true altseason, 50–75 an altcoin season, 25–50 a mixed market and 0–25 Bitcoin season. The headline uses 90 days; 7, 30 and 365 days show momentum and the bigger cycle.

Days before daily observations started being recorded are reconstructed from today’s constituents and carry survivorship bias; recorded days are never rewritten. Source: SignalTrack exchange candle store, refreshed daily after the UTC close.

Altcoin season FAQ

What is altcoin season?
A period when most altcoins outperform Bitcoin. On this index the altcoin season starts when at least half of the top altcoins beat BTC over 90 days, and becomes a true altseason at 75%.
Is it altcoin season now?
Check the gauge at the top: 75 or higher is a true altseason, 50–75 an altcoin season, 25–50 a mixed market and 25 or lower Bitcoin season. The value is updated every day after the UTC close.
Does a high index mean prices are rising?
No. Altcoins can beat Bitcoin simply by falling less. Look at the Bitcoin return and the median altcoin return next to the index to tell a rally from relative resilience.
Why 90 days?
90 days filters out short squeezes while still reacting within a quarter. The 7 and 30 day windows show early momentum shifts; one year shows the larger cycle.
How can I use the index in trading?
As context, not a signal. A rising index favours altcoin exposure and a falling one favours BTC. Watch for short windows diverging from 90 days and for extremes, which historically do not last long.
How often does altcoin season happen?
Rarely and briefly — usually after strong Bitcoin rallies, when capital rotates into larger and then smaller caps. The regime calendar shows how many days of the year each regime lasted.
Why can it differ from other altcoin season indexes?
Constituents, stablecoin and wrapped-token exclusions, exchange coverage, observation time and windows differ. We show the denominator, coverage and observation date so the number can be checked.
