ALT season sparks as BTC dominance fades
As BTC dominance falls and ALT season ignites, coins like XRP, SOL, and ETH take centre stage. The market watches Powell's Fed comments closely, with opportunities brewing across fresh plays like POPCAT and WIF. Let's explore the trends shaping the crypto cycle.
In this report:
- Data This Week & Increased Fed Speak and What This Means?
- The Scope of ALT Season.
- Cryptonary's Take.

Data this week
The Equity market (S&P500) moved higher yesterday following a positive ISM Manufacturing print and a potentially more dovish-than-expected speech from FED member Waller. Waller said that he still leans towards a FED interest rate cut in December despite the slight recent uptick in core inflation.Alongside Waller, we have a plethora of FED speakers this week, with Chair Powell being late in booking a speech for Wednesday. The market is anticipating that Powell might be trying to get out early to guide the market that next year, there may be fewer interest rate cuts.
This is likely due to inflation having a slight uptick recently, whilst the FED also pre-empts Trump policies that may add to inflation. If this is Powell's messaging line, the market should still be fine digesting it, assuming growth remains positive and the labour market continues to hold up. We expect that both will hold up.
We have non-farm payrolls, and the unemployment rate out on Friday. The expectation is for a move down in the Unemployment Rate to 4.1% and for Non-Farms to come in at 194k.
These figures would be strong, and the market would likely react positively to them. This has also been supported today with a strong JOLT's Job Openings coming in at 7.74m, showing a reacceleration in Employers looking to hire.
Beyond this week, we have inflation data next Wednesday (11th) and then the FED Meeting on the 18th, during which we'll also get updated economic projections for next year.
The scope of ALT season
Firstly, we absolutely believe that ALT season has begun, and we can see that in the charts below, we have all of the movements that we have previously predicted and called for.- BTC Dominance has broken down.
- ETH/BTC looks as if it's bottomed on a zoomed-out timeframe.
- TOTAL3 (Crypto MCap minus BTC and ETH) has broken out.
- Crypto Breadth and Speculation Index from Capriole are high values.
ETH/BTC bottomed?:
TOTAL3 broken out:
Crypto breadth from Capriole:
Crypto Breadth applies the Market Breadth formula for equities to all Binance ALT coins. Breadth measures the percentage of coins above their 50-day moving average.
Speculation index from Capriole:
The percentage of Altcoins with 90-day returns is greater than BTC. High readings suggest mounting speculation. Lower readings suggest capitulation.
There's no doubt that the above shows us that we're likely in the early innings of an ALT season. We have begun to see old-cycle coins move along with ETH. One of the more notable movers has been XRP, which has added more than $70b in MCap despite half of its supply still in the Ripple Treasury.
We're expecting the capital rotation to trickle down as the weeks and months go on. We believe we're at the ETH stage of this bull market and that there is more still to go.
Path to Alt season:
Cryptonary's take
We still expect that there will probably be many more months of the cycle left here; however, one of our colleagues recently decided to take a small portion of their position off the table to de-risk, and we wanted to provide some context and clarification around that decision.100% Success Money Back Guarantee

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
