Altcoin season index, live: is capital rotating from bitcoin into alts?
Altcoin season is when money rotates out of bitcoin and most alts out-run it at once. This page counts how many of the top 50 alts are beating bitcoin right now. It also shows who leads the rotation and how much stablecoin dry powder is waiting.

Breadth over time daily closes
90d opens once the record is longer than 90 days.
The daily record has fewer than two closes so far.
Tap or hover a day to read its close. The dashed lines mark bitcoin season (25), balanced (50) and the classic alt-season line (75).
One point per day: the index at that day’s close, as we recorded it. The record starts on Thu 9 Jul 2026 and grows by one point a day. Before Thu 8 Oct the count also included a few dollar-pegged, gold-backed and tokenized-fund tokens. From that day they are left out, so read the line on each side of the marker on its own.
The rotation race vs bitcoin
Last 30 daysbitcoin -1.7%
Drag from a day to a month and watch the leaders re-rank. Each stop is a real measured return against bitcoin over that window, so a coin hot this week but cold this month slides as you widen it. That gap is rotation: who is heating up, and who is only holding on.
The rotation race has no fresh prices right now.

The cast is the coins leading over any of the three windows, from live prices for the top 100 coins. Stablecoins, tokenized assets, wrapped tokens and thinly traded listings are left out. A bar right of the bitcoin line beat bitcoin over the chosen window; left of it, trailed. Each figure is the coin’s return priced in bitcoin.
How broad is it? top 100
36 of 75 alts beat bitcoin
Every alt in the top 100 coins, counted the same way: who beat bitcoin over the last 30 days. Stablecoins, tokenized assets and wrapped tokens are left out. A broad reading means the move is market-wide, not one or two coins running.
Dry powder
Moderate
Stablecoin supply ratio 5.56: bitcoin’s market cap is 5.56 times the stablecoin pool. A lower ratio means more sidelined dollars for each dollar of bitcoin, which is potential rotation fuel. It is fuel the market could use, not a promise that it will.

No edge
today’s rotation is not moving the probability of the alts beating bitcoin from here in a way we can stand behind
Every number we print has to keep earning its place on fresh market history, by a rule we wrote down before we looked. This one did not earn it, so no number prints.
No edge is a reading too. Still measured through the day: the index and the rotation race.

What we will and will not put a number on
The index, the rotation race, the top-100 count, the rotation board and the dry-powder ratio are measured facts. They are read from live prices and on-chain stablecoin supply. They are counts, not judgements, and they are the page.
What everyone wants is the next step: does a broad rotation keep going? A number for that is a judgement, not a count. It has to earn its place on fresh market history, by a rule we wrote down before we looked at the result.
On the latest check this one did not earn it, so no number prints. We never treat a broad rotation as a reason to expect more on its own. Bitcoin has out-run the alts as a group more often than not. A broad reading describes the present.
Altcoin season, defined
Altcoin season
Altcoin season is a stretch when capital rotates out of bitcoin and the large majority of altcoins outperform it at the same time. It is a behaviour of the whole market rather than a single coin running, and nobody is forced to make it happen, so it is a rotation read, not a trigger.
Altcoin season index
An altcoin season index measures breadth: what share of the leading altcoins beat bitcoin over a trailing window. The classic version uses the top fifty over ninety days and calls it alt season above seventy-five. MyCryptoParadise computes its own from live prices for the top 100 coins, counting the top fifty alts over the last thirty days, and keeps one closing reading a day.
Stablecoin supply ratio
The stablecoin supply ratio, or SSR, is bitcoin’s market cap divided by the total stablecoin market cap. A low ratio means a large pool of sidelined dollars relative to bitcoin, which is potential buying power, or dry powder. It is a regime read, not a timing signal: new stablecoins are fuel the market could use, not a promise that it will.
Breadth tells you rotation is happening. Funding and fear tell you how crowded it already is.
A broad alt run met by stretched funding and greedy sentiment is a different animal from the same breadth on calm funding. Reading them together separates a fresh rotation from a late one. These reads are context, not forecasts.
For the ParadiseTeam, reading whether capital is genuinely rotating into alts, and how much dry powder is waiting, is one of the layers behind every decision we make and every trade we share inside ParadiseFamilyVIP. Seats stay deliberately limited.
Check seat availability →How to read the altcoin season index
Four ideas behind the picture above.
Breadth is a description, not a forecast
A high reading tells you alts are beating bitcoin right now. It does not tell you they will keep doing so. That is why the measured index and any forward read are shown apart, and the forward read says No edge when it has none.
Nobody is forced to rotate
Unlike an ETF creation or a liquidation, alt season has no forced actor. It is a crowd behaviour, so it can start late, end early, and reverse fast. Treat it as a regime read, never a trigger.
Dry powder is fuel, not a spark
A large stablecoin pool relative to bitcoin means the buying power exists. It does not mean it will be spent. The SSR frames the potential; it never tells you the timing.
Know the base case first
Bitcoin has out-run the alts as a group more often than not. That is the backdrop every breadth reading sits on, which is why a broad reading is worth noticing but never worth chasing blindly.
Questions and answers
What is the altcoin season index?
The altcoin season index measures breadth: what share of the leading altcoins beat bitcoin over a trailing window. The classic version uses the top fifty coins over ninety days and calls it alt season when at least seventy-five percent of them are outperforming bitcoin. MyCryptoParadise computes its own from live prices for the top 100 coins, counting the top fifty alts over the last thirty days, with stablecoins, tokenized assets and wrapped tokens left out, and keeps one closing reading a day.
Are we in alt season right now?
Read the verdict at the top of this page. It shows how many of the top fifty altcoins are beating bitcoin right now. Above roughly seventy-five it is conventionally called alt season; below about twenty-five it is bitcoin season; in between the market is mixed. It describes the present, not what comes next.
Does a high breadth reading mean alt season will continue?
Not on its own. A broad rotation describes what has already happened, and nobody is forced to keep it going. That is why MyCryptoParadise prints a follow-through number only while one keeps earning its place on fresh market history. When it does not, the page says No edge and shows the base case instead.
What is the stablecoin supply ratio?
The stablecoin supply ratio, or SSR, is bitcoin's market cap divided by the total stablecoin market cap. A low reading means a large pool of sidelined dollars relative to bitcoin, often described as dry powder or potential buying power. It is a regime read rather than a timing signal: new stablecoins are fuel the market could use, not a promise that it will.
