Altcoin season could be near: Why June can see a 2021-style rally
**Altcoin Season Could Be Near: Why June Can See a 2021-Style Rally** Numerous analysts and investors are beginning to speculate that an altcoin season may be just around the corner as the cryptocurrency market continues to show signs of recovery. The month of June, historically a favorable period for crypto rallies, is shaping up to potentially mirror the explosive growth seen in 2021. The stage may be set for altcoins to take the lead as Bitcoin's strength and dominance plateau. ### What Is the Season for Altcoins? Altcoin season, or "alt season," refers to a period when alternative cryptocurrencies—those other than Bitcoin—outperform the leading digital asset. During this phase, investors rotate capital from Bitcoin into smaller market cap assets in pursuit of higher gains. This is a time when tokens like Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and a number of smaller-cap projects saw huge returns in a short amount of time. Typically, altcoin seasons follow a strong Bitcoin rally as market participants look for the “next big thing.”
