In the field of Crypto Assets, one should not frequently and arbitrarily proclaim that the so-called "alt season" is approaching. Looking back, the expected timing of the "alt season" has been constantly changing:
- Initially set for October 2023 - March 2024, then gradually shortened to the "alt season" from November 2024 - December 2024.
- It then evolved into the "alt season" from May 8, 2025, to May 12, 2025.
- Until now, there has even been a "alt season" lasting only two days (June 23, 2025 - June 24, 2025).
According to the BTC.D indicator analysis, the market performance is merely a normal correction after an overbought situation. If considering to go long on altcoins, the following three key conditions must be met:
First, the price must firmly stay above the 235-period Bollinger Bands (referred to as 235B).
Secondly, the price trend shows a continuous upward movement of high and low points.
Thirdly, successfully breaking through the downward trend line formed since December 2024.
