-- What is “Alt Season”? --

🔹 A.k.a Altszn, is a part of the #cryptocurrency market cycle when many alt coins “moon”
🔹 "Mooning" is when a coin go up quickly in price
🔹 Basically an Altszn is when the Alts are out performing #BTC against the $

#altszn #bitcoin #crypto

-- What is #Bitcoin Dominance? --

🔹 Ticker: BTC.D on @tradingview
🔹 BTC.D is the ratio between the market cap of #BTC to the rest of the crypto markets
🔹 Bitcoin is still the largest cryptocurrency, but over time its dominance has dropped as new cryptocurrencies were created

-- How to interpret BTC.D --

🔹 BTC.D increases, #BTC is gaining market share
🔹 BTC.D decreases, BTC is losing market share
🔹 Think of market share as the % of all the money currently invested in Cryptocurrencies
🔹 Note that the Price of BTC isn't directly correlated to BTC.D

-- How to trade based on BTC.D pt.1 --

🔹 In genral:
🔸 BTC.D increasing, exit weak Alt trades and have a higher % of your portfolio in #BTC
🔸 BTC.D decreases, enter strong Alt trades and have a higher % of your portfolio in Alt coins

#cryptocurrency #altszn $BTC

-- How to trade based on BTC.D pt.2 --

🔹 However value of #BTC can drop or rise taking the Alts with it and the dominance could stay static
🔹 This is why you need to add in another indicator to help determine what you should do, TOTAL2

#cryptocurrency #altszn $BTC

-- What is TOTAL2? --

🔹 Ticker: #TOTAL2 on @tradingview
🔹 TOTAL2 is an index that represents the total #crypto market cap EXCLUDING #BTC
🔹 Think of it as the total amount of money currently invested in everything crypto minus #Bitcoin

-- How to interpret TOTAL2 --

🔹 TOTAL2 increases, more money is flowing into the Alt coins
🔹 TOTAL2 decreases, money is flowing out of the Alt coins
🔹 Note that #TOTAL2 isn't directly related to the value of #BTC, in fact sometimes it is inversely correlated

-- How to identify an Altszn?--

🔹 You need to use BTC.D and TOTAL2 in conjunction together with the $BTC price chart
🔹 The signature you are looking for is:
🔸 #TOTAL2 shooting UP
🔸 BTC.D dropping
🔸 #BTC PA static or falling

-- How to identify an Altszn? Pt.2--

🔹 Typically you get an #Altszn when #BTC has found a local top or is consolidating
🔹 A good example of an Altszn is the 2017 top 👇

#Bitcon #cryptocurrency

-- What is the current state of play? Pt.1--

🔹 We have just seen a mini #Altszn, as shown in the chart below
🔹 So could this mini Altszn be over for now?
🔹 What happens next? & what to look for?

-- What is the current state of play? Pt.2--

🔹 IMHO, I think BTC.D may bounce & BTC $ value become volatile i.e. push up or down
🔹 If #BTC pushes up Alts will likely do OK against the $ pairs, but not against BTC
🔹 BUT if BTC dumps, Alts will likely lose more $ value than BTC
