‘All roads lead to altcoin season’ pointed out a top analyst and trader on X after spotlighting a positive signal on the Bitcoin dominance chart which recently broke away from a rising wedge pattern.
Apart from the Bitcoin dominance chart, the Altcoin/Bitcoin ratio also bounced from a crucial support level which has historically acted as a major support for the alt season.
Read on to discover what top experts and key indicators are saying about this.
Altcoin/Bitcoin Ratio Tips Altcoin Season Ahead
The Altcoin/Bitcoin ratio bounced off a historic support zone that has acted as a strong foundation for the altcoin season in previous market cycles.
As shown in the chart shared by @bitcoinsensus, this level marked the beginning of powerful altcoin rallies in the past, both between 2017 – 2018 and 2020 – 2021.
Each bounce led to an increase in the ratio, representing the outperformance of altcoins over Bitcoin. This would continue for months afterwards.
Now, the pattern appears to be repeating the same pattern and recently flashed a signal that the alt season is just about to begin.
The chart highlights two major peaks (labeled 1 and 2), followed by a long corrective phase that has brought the ratio back down into the same green accumulation zone.
If history repeats itself, this could be the early stage of a third wave which is likely to be the strongest.
The projection points toward a move to around the 0.60+ region, suggesting a major capital rotation from the largest cryptocurrency by market cap to the overal altcoin market.
Bitcoin Dominance Charts Breaks From Rising Wedge Pattern
Bitcoin dominance just broke down from a rising wedge formation, which signals the start of the altseason.
This development suggests the Bitcoin share of the total crypto market is on the brink of shrinking, with capital rotating to alternative coins.
The wedge structure had been forming for several months, with price action respecting both the upper resistance and lower support lines.
As dominance climbed steadily, it reflected Bitcoin’s strong performance relative to the rest of the market.
However, the recent decisive breakdown beneath the pattern’s support line marks a potential turning point.
Zooming into technical data, a break from a rising wedge on the Bitcoin dominance chart suggests that liquidity is flowing from the cryptocurrency to altcoins.

A new setup was shared by CryptoELITES two days ago echoing similar sentiments of an imminent altcoin season.
The setup compares the Total3 market cap (which excludes Bitcoin and Ethereum) against Bitcoin dominance, gold, and key macro indicators like the DXY and US10Y.
The analyst suggested that market conditions are beginning to echo those seen in 2020 right before the last explosive altcoin season.
Two historical events are evident on the chart, August 2020 and the projected August 2025, both of which share a similar technical pattern.
In both, Bitcoin dominance soared before stalling near a major resistance level. However, the altcoin market steadily built a base months or weeks before their rally.
If this setup plays out again, November 2025 could mark the first signs of a rebound. As CryptoELITES notes, a rising BTC dominance into December—potentially toward the 64 level—may act as the final setup before a broad rotation into altcoins.
That would align perfectly with the expectation of a full-fledged Altcoin Season in early 2026. Moreover, both 2019 and 2025 saw a single Bitcoin equate to approximately 57 ETH.
According to the analyst, this metric also served as a turning point that ushered in the altcoin season.
