If you are looking for early signs of an alt season, look to the price action of the top Altcoins like CardanoCardano7$ 0.564957-0.08%-2.19%-9.71%details and Binance Coin.

You can also generally look for a divergence in the market cap of BitcoinBitcoin1$ 67,714.930.18%-6.01%-15.89%details and Altcoins, and you can also look at BTC market dominance trends.

The Altcoin Season Index is a good indicator for signalling an Altseason trend and vice versa. If 75% of the top 50 Altcoins are performing better than Bitcoin, they classify it as alt season.

Also, look out for these hints:
