Bitget Chief Suggests Broad Altcoin Season Is Unlikely as Bitcoin May Be Decoupling

Altcoin season is unlikely in the near term, according to Bitget operating chief Vugar Usi Zade: market momentum is concentrated in Bitcoin as it decouples from altcoins, and projects lack the technological catalysts needed to ignite a broad-based altcoin ￰0￱ altcoin season unlikely: Bitcoin-led rallies are not spilling over to most ￰1￱ cycles are shorter and narrative-driven; only sector-specific tokens may ￰2￱ holds ~58% market share while Ether is around 12% (data from CoinMarketCap) — dominance remains ￰3￱ season unlikely as Bitcoin decouples; focus on narrative tokens or Bitcoin ￰4￱ expert analysis and next ￰5￱ to learn ￰6￱ is the outlook for altcoin season?

Altcoin season appears unlikely in the short term, says Bitget operating chief Vugar Usi Zade. Bitcoin’s independent rally and a lack of major technological catalysts for altcoins reduce the probability that “everything will go up” ￰7￱ is Bitcoin decoupling affecting altcoins? Bitcoin’s rally has increasingly operated independently, weakening historical correlations with ￰8￱ to on-stage comments at Token2049, Bitcoin can be green while the broader market is red — funds are not cascading from BTC into altcoins as before. Market-share data shows Bitcoin at about 58% dominance while Ether sits near 12% (CoinMarketCap).

This concentration limits capital rotation into smaller tokens without clear, narrative-driven catalysts. , "description": "Bitget operating chief Vugar Usi Zade says a broad altcoin season is unlikely as Bitcoin decouples and projects lack major technological catalysts." A broad altcoin rally is unlikely, as crypto projects haven’t generated enough excitement to stir traders into action, Bitget operating chief Vugar Usi Zade tells ￰9￱ crypto markets are unlikely to see an altcoin season where “everything will go up,” as many traders are now focused on narrower trends or are just focusing solely on Bitcoin, according to Bitget operating chief Vugar Usi Zade.

“I don’t think there will be an altseason,” Usi Zade told Cointelegraph at the Token2049 conference in Singapore on Wednesday. “The whole idea that ‘this is altseason and everything will go up because it’s altseason,’ we won’t see that, and I’m very firm in that,” he said. “I don’t think we will see that huge pump, unfortunately, because there’s no logical reason behind it.” “There haven’t been any technological ￰10￱ haven’t seen any big things coming out of ￰11￱ would the price go up?

Many market participants now advise newcomers to hold Bitcoin only, abandoning the common 70/30 Bitcoin/Ether ￰22￱ Zade said that advice reflects Bitcoin’s sustained outperformance and Ether’s relative stability.
