What does the Season Score mean?

The Season Score ranges from 0 to 100 and reflects how many of the top 50 altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin over the past 90 days. A score of 0–49 indicates Bitcoin Season, 50–74 is a Neutral market, and 75–100 means Altcoin Season. The higher the score, the stronger the altcoin momentum.

What should I do when the market is neutral?

Neutral phase is a transitional state — neither Bitcoin nor altcoins have clear dominance. The recommended approach: maintain a balanced allocation, avoid overcommitting in either direction, and watch whether the score moves above 75 (Altcoin Season) or drops below 50 (Bitcoin Season).

How quickly can the market shift out of neutral?

Rapidly — sometimes within a few days. Neutral phases with a REVERSING trend are especially unstable. The urgency level in the brief reflects how fast conditions are moving. High urgency neutral means monitor the score daily; low urgency means the market is holding steady.

What does it mean when an altcoin outperforms BTC?

An altcoin outperforms BTC when its 90-day price return exceeds Bitcoin's 90-day return. For example, if BTC is up 10% and an altcoin is up 35%, that altcoin outperforms by 25 percentage points. The Season Score is the percentage of top 50 altcoins meeting this condition.

Why does the urgency level change?

Urgency reflects the rate of change in market conditions. HIGH urgency means the score is shifting quickly and windows to act are narrowing. MEDIUM means conditions are evolving gradually. LOW means the market is stable and patience is your best tool. Urgency also drives the title of the brief each day.
