The first quarter of 2025 was dominated by the conversations of the Altcoin season, as is the case when the bull cycle is finishing. In past cycles, capital tends to rotate from bitcoin to other cryptocurrencies, since investors seek maximum gain before the arrival of the bearish market.
However, the story has been very different for the cryptocurrency market so far this year, and most capitalization assets do not enjoy the same capital rotation observed in past cycles. The latest data in the chain show that bitcoin has continued to dominate the cryptography market, exceeding all Altcoins categories.
Is it time to buy Altcoins?
In a April 5 publication on platform x, the pseudonym analyst Darkfost <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/Darkfost_Coc/status/1908426465307131982″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener nofollow”>shared An interesting understanding in the performance chain of all Altcoin categories in relation to the largest cryptocurrency in the world. According to the online expert, the Altcoins have a lower performance compared to bitcoin in terms of market capitalization growth.
In its publication, Darkfost compared the growth of the bitcoin market lid, the high capitalization altcoins (the 20 largest altcoins) and the average to small limit altcoins when calculating the difference between its mobile average of 365 days and 30 days (more). According to the analyst, the variation between the MA of 365 days and the 30 -day MA serves as an indicator of growth impulse.
In general, when the short -term mobile average (30 days) increases faster than the long -term mobile average (MA of 365 days), it implies rapid growth of the market cover. On the other hand, a reduced growth impulse is indicated by a moving average of 30 days lagging.

As observed in the previous table, bitcoin is surpassing the high capitalization and medium to less small in terms of growth of its market capitalization. Darkfost said that this difference in the growth ratio has reached a level seen for the last time in October 2023, a period correlated with a brief Altcoin rally and subsequently the btc domain.
The analyst also stressed that when this growth ratio becomes negative, it often points out that a strong correction has occurred. Historically, a negative relationship could present a potential purchase opportunity for investors seeking to enter the market.
bitcoin and ethereum Price
At the time of writing this article, the price of btc is around $ 83,500, which does not reflect a significant movement in the last 24 hours. At the same time, Token eth is valued in around $ 1,805, without any change in the last day.
