Method and Limitations
- Based on daily closing prices against the US dollar, comparing returns over 90 calendar days.
- Stablecoins are not excluded by a name list but detected by their price moving less than 2% over the period. Wrapped representations such as WBTC or stETH and gold-backed tokens such as PAXG are excluded too — they track their underlying.
- Survivorship bias: The selection is based on today's market capitalization. We have no historical rankings, so the backward view omits coins that were large then and are small now.
- The history starts on Oct 9, 2024, because that is where our price data begins. All streak figures refer to those 765 days.
- The index is a breadth measure, not a buy or sell signal.
The index measures one question: how many of the 50 largest altcoins beat Bitcoin over the past 90 days? At 75% or above it is altcoin season — market breadth is carrying returns. At 25% or below it is Bitcoin season: capital concentrates in the largest asset. In between it is neither.
For a portfolio, this is not a buy or sell signal but a breadth measure. It is much like asking whether an equity index is carried by a few heavyweights or by many constituents.
