Methodology
Definition. The index is the percentage of eligible altcoins whose 90-day price return is higher than Bitcoin's 90-day return, from the closing price of the UTC day 90 days earlier to the closing price of the day measured. At 75 or above the reading is altcoin season; at 25 or below, Bitcoin season; otherwise neutral.
Universe. Coins are ranked by their market cap on the day measured. The 100 largest that qualify are used: when an excluded coin sits in the top 100, the next coin by market cap takes its place. Bitcoin is the benchmark and never part of the set. A coin also needs a closing price on both ends of the 90-day window.
Data cleaning. A single-day price print more than three times (or under a third of) both neighbouring days is treated as an error and not used. A coin whose price series jumps by more than 20× between weekly samples inside the window is skipped for that day as a data break, not a price move. Coin-days with a market cap above $20 billion are ignored unless the coin is in today's top 100, which removes tokens that report phantom supply.
Update time and source. Computed once a day shortly after 00:00 UTC for the day that just closed, from Coinlib's own price and market-cap history (market data licensed from CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko). History starts on 17 March 2025, the first day with enough coins carrying a market cap to rank a reliable top 100; days with fewer than 600 such coins are skipped.
Survivorship bias. The history is computed from the coins Coinlib tracks today. Coins that were in the top 100 and were later delisted are not in our data, and those coins tend to be the ones that underperformed. Past readings therefore skew high: read the history for direction, not as an exact record.
Excluded coins. Every coin below is left out of the index, with the reason. New entries that match the rules are added automatically.

Frequently asked questions
What is altcoin season?
Altcoin season is a stretch when most large cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin outperform Bitcoin. The opposite, Bitcoin season, is when Bitcoin beats most of them. The index turns that idea into a number: at 75 or above it is altcoin season, at 25 or below Bitcoin season, and in between neither side is clearly ahead.
How is the Altcoin Season Index calculated?
Take the 100 largest altcoins by market cap on a given day, leaving out Bitcoin itself, stablecoins, wrapped, staked and bridged tokens, gold-backed tokens and tokenized stocks. For each coin, compare its 90-day price return with Bitcoin's. The index is the percentage of those 100 coins that did better than Bitcoin.
Is it altcoin season today?
On 2 October 2026 the index read 53 — neutral. 53 of the 100 eligible altcoins beat Bitcoin's 90-day return of +34.0%.
When were the past altcoin and Bitcoin seasons?
Since 17 March 2025, Coinlib's index has spent 155 days in Bitcoin season, 4 in altcoin season and 403 in between. The longest Bitcoin season ran 53 days, from 17 March 2025 to 8 May 2025. Altcoin season readings came on 19 September 2025–21 September 2025; 25 September 2025. The highest reading was 83 (21 September 2025), the lowest 7 (3 April 2025).
