A period when altcoins experience significant price appreciation relative to Bitcoin.
Altseason refers to a market phase where the prices of most altcoins surge considerably, often outperforming Bitcoin in terms of percentage gains. This phenomenon is typically preceded by periods of consolidation or decline in the altcoin market and is fueled by increased investor interest, speculation, and the introduction of new technologies or use cases. The onset of altseason is often unpredictable and can coincide with shifts in market sentiment and capital flows within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
