Since yesterday, after bitcoin dipped to $117k, Ethereum and other altcoins haven't been influenced by the dip, does this mean that the altcoin season will likely kick off soon or it's just a temporary hype and will cool off in no time. A lot of altcoin holders are hoping to see the altcoin season come to reality in this bull run, but this circle is different from the previous and we can't say if it's possible for us to see the altcoin season.
I agree. 
In the past, a BTC dip like that would’ve wrecked the entire alt market instantly. But now? Alts barely flinched. That’s a shift.
Still, I’m not convinced it means altseason is guaranteed. Liquidity is thinner, retail is cautious, and narratives are weaker.
Maybe we’ll get rotation — but not the kind of explosive altseason we saw in 2017 or 2021.
