Hi everyone,

I’ve been following this discussion and find the points about when a real altcoin season might start very insightful.

From what I’ve learned:
• Many believe it starts when Bitcoin dominance dips and BTC enters a consolidation phase :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4} 
• Others say we may only see a strong alt season post-2024–2025 bull cycle :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

If I understand correctly, a few factors to watch could be: Bitcoin dominance percentage, altcoin trading volume, and major DeFi developments.

As a newcomer, I’m curious—how do you measure or spot these signals in real time? Volume spikes? Specific tokens leading the way?

Looking forward to learning from your insights.
