Simply put, alt season is when the profits from Bitcoin, Ethereum and\/or new capital, flow into altcoins. As a result of this redirection, the dominance of Bitcoin, aka its market share, suffers a decline. Likewise, the altcoin market share increases, giving rise to a phase known as alt season.<\/p>\n

The long-term outlook for Bitcoin price is already facing resistance and selling pressure as it enters the weekly bearish breaker. This breaker setup extends from $29,247 to $41,273, with an inefficiency at roughly the midpoint, stretching from $34,277 to $37,406.<\/p>\n
Although BTC has shown incredible performance since the start of 2023, it could continue heading higher, considering the macroeconomic outlook. However, if investors continue to book profits, a retracement to key support levels is likely. If the downtrend does continue, the $25,205 and $24,300 levels are critical for absorbing the selling pressure.<\/p>\n
