The cycle typically gets overlooked, but here's what matters: when does altcoin season actually kick off?

Let's break it down. Bitcoin dominance, funding rates, and on-chain activity paint a clearer picture than most realize. The patterns repeat—majors consolidate, retail FOMO builds, then capital rotates into alts looking for explosive moves.

Timing is everything. Miss the early phase and you're chasing pumps. Understand the macro setup and you position ahead of it.

This isn't fortune-telling. It's pattern recognition based on what the data actually shows.

We talk about data and models every day, but when it comes to bottoming out, it still depends on luck and mindset, doesn't it?

ngl Every time it's the same spiel, and I still miss out. No matter how clear the data is, it can't stop the fate of being cut.

Wait, this theory basically boils down to betting on capital flow, but how many people can actually hit that point?

Wait, if you put it nicely, it's pattern recognition; if you put it bluntly, it's just gambling on probabilities... Why do I feel like everyone claims to understand the cycle, but still gets trapped?

It's a common cliché in the crypto world—every time, people say to look at the data and cycles, but in the end, we're still just waiting to get cut.

The moment BTC dominance drops, it's really time to get on board.

After looking for a while, I still don't quite understand, but the funding rate does seem to hint at something... It's probably still too early.

It looks very knowledgeable, but in actual operation, many people miss out... It's easy to say, but the real difficulty is that the signals change with each cycle.
