Altcoin Season tracks how much large on-chain flow (last 24h) is rotating into major alts versus Bitcoin and stablecoins — the PEPS complement to BTC dominance for spotting alt-capital cycles.
On PEPS Crypto the tool is built into the dashboard with automatically refreshed data — use filters, rankings and linked tools to validate every signal before acting.
What is this tool?
Altcoin Season tracks how much large on-chain flow (last 24h) is rotating into major alts versus Bitcoin and stablecoins — the PEPS complement to BTC dominance for spotting alt-capital cycles.
The gauge reads the PIE market analyst cache, refreshed on the intelligence engine schedule.
Regime labels: ≥58% Altcoin Season, 52–58% Altcoin Lean, 48–52% Neutral, 42–48% Bitcoin Lean, <42% Bitcoin Season.
How to read the results
Regime labels: ≥58% Altcoin Season, 52–58% Altcoin Lean, 48–52% Neutral, 42–48% Bitcoin Lean, <42% Bitcoin Season.
The index is 100 − BTC dominance when not stored explicitly — both metrics share the same flow model.
Context cards show BTC dominance (inverse), ETF flow proxy, stablecoin activity and the internal fear/greed estimate.
The trend chart plots historical altcoin season readings from pc_analysis_market when database history is available.
Key signals and metrics
The index is 100 − BTC dominance when not stored explicitly — both metrics share the same flow model.
Context cards show BTC dominance (inverse), ETF flow proxy, stablecoin activity and the internal fear/greed estimate.
The trend chart plots historical altcoin season readings from pc_analysis_market when database history is available.
Advanced usage and combinations
Flow-based alt season is not the Blockchain Center altcoin index or CoinMarketCap alt market-cap share.
A rising alt season score can reflect stablecoin outflows into alts without broad spot alt rallies.
Pair with Bitcoin Dominance and Market Scanner before increasing alt basket exposure.

What to consider
- Flow-based alt season is not the Blockchain Center altcoin index or CoinMarketCap alt market-cap share.
- A rising alt season score can reflect stablecoin outflows into alts without broad spot alt rallies.
- Pair with Bitcoin Dominance and Market Scanner before increasing alt basket exposure.
- Sudden jumps often follow whale alt transfers — validate with Whale Tracker and Exchange Flow.
- Not financial advice — regime labels describe on-chain flow bias, not guaranteed alt outperformance.
Frequently asked questions
- How reliable are the signals from this tool?
- Treat every reading as a hypothesis. Strong setups usually agree across multiple rows, timeframes or linked PEPS engines — not from a single highlighted value alone.
- Is this tool suitable for beginners?
- Yes. Start with one symbol or one ranked row, read the labels and confirmation panels, then open linked tools before sizing a live position.
- How often is the data updated?
- Refresh cadence depends on the engine — many trading scanners update every few minutes; on-chain and mining feeds may run on hourly timers. Check the Updated timestamp on the tool page.
