AltSeasonality - MTF

AltSeason is more than a brief macro market cycle — it's a condition. This indicator helps traders identify when altcoins are gaining strength relative to Bitcoin dominance, allowing for more precise entries, exits, and trade selection across any timeframe.

The key for altcoin traders is that the lower the timeframe, the higher the alpha.

By tracking the TOTAL3/BTC.D ratio — a real-time measure of altcoin strength versus Bitcoin — this tool highlights when capital is rotating into or out of altcoins. It works as a bias filter, helping traders avoid low-conviction setups, especially in chop or during BTC-led conditions.

________________________________________________________________________

It works well on the 1D chart to validate swing entries during strong altcoin expansion phases — especially when TOTAL3/BTC.D breaks out while BTCUSD consolidates.

On the 4H or 1D chart, rising TOTAL3/BTC.D + a breakout on your altcoin = high-conviction setup. If BTC is leading, fade the move or reduce size. Consider pairing with the Accumulation - Distribution Candles, optimized for the 1D (not shown).

🔍 Where this indicator really excels, however, is on the 1H and 15M charts, where short-term traders need fast bias confirmation before committing to a move. Designed for scalpers, intraday momentum traders, and tactical swing setups.

Use this indicator to confirm whether an altcoin breakout is supported by broad market flow — or likely to fail due to hidden BTC dominance pressure.

🧠 How it works:

- TOTAL3 = market cap of altcoins (excl. BTC + ETH)
- BTC.D = Bitcoin dominance as % of total market cap
- TOTAL3 / BTC.D = a normalized measure of altcoin capital strength vs Bitcoin
- BTCUSD = trend baseline and comparison anchor

The indicator compares these forces side-by-side, using a normalized dual-line ribbon. There is intentionally no "smoothing".

When TOTAL3/BTC.D is leading, the ribbon shifts to an “altseason active” phase. When BTCUSD regains control, the ribbon flips back into BTC dominance — signaling defensive posture.

💡 Strategy Example:

On the 1H chart, a crossover into altseason → check the 15M chart for confirmation. Consider adding the SUPeR TReND 2.718 for confirmation (not shown). If both align, you have trend + flow confluence. If BTCUSD is leading or ribbon is mixed, reduce exposure or wait for confirmation. Further confirmation via Volume breakouts in your specific coin.
