I recently took a look at CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index, and it’s only at 19—what does that mean? In the past three months, less than 20% of the coins in the TOP 100 have outperformed Bitcoin. Thinking back to September 20th, the index had even reached a high of 78, but last week it hovered around an average of just 25.

Bitcoin’s market dominance is still stuck at a high level, so as for a collective rally in altcoins? There’s no sign of that for now. At this stage, only the AI sector, meme coins, and RWA tracks offer any chance for excess returns. The rest? They’re basically just along for the ride.

BTC-2.78%

The altcoin season index fell from 78 to 19, which is a huge decline, how uncomfortable it is to hold the coin --- BTC dominance is stuck, and it seems that it is indeed not the turn of small currencies to turn around in this round --- To be honest, except for AI, Meme and RWA, other coins are basically betting on luck --- It was still 78 in September, and now it is only 19... The copycat season is completely cold, but it is still solid to keep Bitcoin --- 80% of the TOP100 can't beat BTC, and this battle is really not worth playing --- The state of running haha, aptly described, most of the coins are a foil --- It seems that the cottage has to wait for the BTC dominance to loosen before the altcoin has a chance to turn around, and there is no hope in the short term --- AI and Meme still have opportunities, and the others are really boring --- The index fell from 78 to 19, which is outrageous enough, and the copycat season is really gone --- Only the three tracks of AI, Meme, and RWA have water, and the others are pits

Altcoin season index at 19? Hilarious, this just shows the essence of BTC sucking up liquidity. --- Dropped from 78 to 25, this decline is just outrageous. No wonder so many people are stuck. --- Feels like it's all about waiting for AI, Meme, and RWA narratives—other coins really have no story to tell. --- Bitcoin dominance is still dragging on, dreaming of an alt season in the short term is just wishful thinking. --- Only 20% can outperform BTC? Should I just give up on my altcoins then? --- This index says it all, the market is all about single-coin action, there's not even any rotation.

We’re all just running alongside, the index dropped from 78 to 19, it’s unbelievably brutal. --- AI and Meme coins are still playable, but I really can’t see any opportunities in other coins. --- Stuck grinding at the top, this BTC just won’t let altcoins catch a break. --- An index at just 19 really shows this round isn’t for altcoins. --- How’s the RWA sector doing lately? I feel like this track might actually produce a dark horse in the end. --- Only 20% in the TOP100 outperformed BTC? Forget it, I don’t even want to look, it’s too heartbreaking. --- From 78 to now, my altcoin portfolio hasn’t moved at all. --- If Bitcoin dominance doesn’t come down, there’s just no way for altcoin season to arrive. --- Meme coins still have hope, the rest are basically just tagging along. --- This round, you can really only bet on AI and Meme coins, just to be safe.

Damn, gotta start bottom-fishing again. 19, what a ridiculous number. --- I saw it coming a long time ago—other than AI and meme, everything else is just a field of bagholders. --- 78 down to 19? This drop is brutal, altcoin season is still a long way off. --- The RWA track does have some imagination left, just afraid it’ll be another flash in the pan. --- BTC dominance is so strong, small cap coins really don’t stand a chance. --- If even the top 100 can’t outperform BTC, you still think you’ll get rich? Wake up, everyone. --- 19... Damn, this index is even worse than my account. --- AI, meme, RWA—gotta keep a close eye on these three, don’t touch anything else. --- From 78 down to 19, just think how many people cut their losses during this time—it hurts just thinking about it. --- At this stage, might as well go all in on AI. Anything else is just asking for trouble.

As soon as the number 19 came out, it was over. There’s no need to look at the rest of the analysis. --- From 78 to 19, this is a textbook case of game-theory equilibrium collapse. --- Talking about AI, Meme, RWA again... Every cycle it’s these three saviors, but in the end, it’s just new tricks to fleece newcomers. --- The altcoin season index has dropped this much—plainly put, the incentive mechanism has failed. Retail investors have gotten smarter. --- Only 20% can outperform Bitcoin? Do you understand what that means? 80% are just paving the way for the big players. --- From 78 crashing down to 19, I did the math—how much principal have people lost... --- Can RWA really drive the trend? In my view, it’s just another bubble waiting to burst. --- Market dominance stuck at a high level and not budging—that signal is even more disheartening than the index itself. --- “Keeping pace” is the polite way to put it. To be blunt, it means getting slaughtered. --- Outperforming with the AI sector? First, you have to survive until the next cycle.
