The slump comes despite strong July catalysts such as regulatory progress, real-world asset tokenization momentum, Ethereum\u2019s revival, and record ETF inflows. \u201cYet crowd attention hasn\u2019t rotated into altcoins,\u201d observed analyst Chyan on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It topped 50 in mid-June during the market rally but has fallen back along with the prices of most altcoins.<\/p>\n The Blockchain Center\u2019s altseason index shows<\/a> a similar low rating of 35, while Bitget\u2019s altcoin season index<\/a> is an even lower 34. All three indexes report that the best-performing altcoins over the past month are memecoins.<\/p>\n Bitcoin dominance is also an indicator of the approach of altseason, and it remains high at 61.6%, according<\/a> to TradingView. Its market share fell to a six-month low on July 21, but it has been uptrending again since, as the asset holds around $116,000 while most of the altcoins continue to bleed.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, Ethereum usually leads altcoins<\/a> into a rally, and it too has been holding up and remaining within its range-bound channel.<\/p>\n Some analysts are still looking at previous bull market cycles and predicting the same again this year.<\/p>\n Altcoin market cap is following a clear pattern:<\/p>\n 2017: Explosion History doesn\u2019t repeat, but it sure does rhyme.<\/p>\n Altseason brewing?#Altcoins<\/a> #Crypto<\/a> #Altseason<\/a> #DeFi<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/w3ez085f0u<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Crypto Captain (@CryptoCaptainCT) August 7, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n The post Altseason Sentiment Breaks Down as Bitcoin Holds Steady: Santiment<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There has been a sharp decline in altseason social engagement, with volume and dominance both retracing to April levels, according to Santiment.
