Altcoins are dancing to their own beat now

Recent market behavior is flashing caution.

The correlation heatmap between BTC and altcoins revealed a growing divergence, a classic precursor to heightened volatility.

When altcoins start moving out of sync with Bitcoin, especially across a 12-hour timeframe as shown, it is often a sign of a shake-up.

Simultaneously, the altcoin season index is climbing, suggesting more altcoins are outperforming BTC. Bitcoin usually tends to “correct” these imbalances with sharp moves that catch over-leveraged long positions off guard.

While this isn’t a doomsday signal, the combination could be the setup for a swift BTC-led reality check.
