Method

How we calculate it

  1. Take the 50 largest coins by market value, leaving out Bitcoin, stablecoins, and wrapped, staked or bridged versions of other coins (they would count the same asset twice).
  2. For each, compare its price change over the trailing 90 days with Bitcoin's over the same days, using daily closes.
  3. The index is the percentage that did better than Bitcoin. 75 or more is altcoin season; 25 or less is Bitcoin season.

The definition follows the convention popularised by Blockchaincenter's index; the calculation, coin list and data are ours. The history line applies today's top 50 to past dates, which flatters past readings slightly — coins that fell out of the top 50 are not in it.

Questions

Is it altcoin season right now?
The index is 44, so: neither season.
Why 90 days?
Short enough to reflect a current rotation, long enough that one strong week does not decide it. It matches the most widely used version of the index, so readings are comparable.
