Altcoin Season 2025: Why ETH, SOL, XRP & BNB May Lead the Next Rally
After months of silence, the altcoin market is finally showing signs of life. The Altcoin Season Index has climbed from 34 to 50 in just a few weeks, a clear hint that momentum is building.
Popular crypto trader VirtualBacon believes we may already be in the early stages of an altcoin season, even if it doesn’t feel like it yet.
So, what’s really going on in the market right now?
Momentum Is Building Slowly
According to VirtualBacon, altcoin season may have already started 2–3 weeks ago. But many people haven’t noticed it yet. And it’s because the price movements have been slow and only happening in select coins.
Unlike previous altcoin seasons where almost everything pumped together, this time only a few coins are making small moves, and they’re doing it quietly.
At the same time, Bitcoin dominance is slowly dropping, now at 61.5%. This is often a sign that capital is starting to flow out of Bitcoin and into altcoins.
