Is this the alt season? This question is now trending after a new research surfaces from the popular multi-asset brokerage and social trading platform, eToro.
eToro mentions that for the most part of the previous year, investing in the top 100 altcoins proved to be a more rewarding venture than in Bitcoins, the leading cryptocurrency in the market.
Explaining the approach further, analysts mentioned that those investors who knew when to swap Bitcoins with altcoins remained in an advantageous position throughout the last year when Bitcoin’s price was shooting up the sky. eToro recently brought out an entire research based on the study of this nuanced distinction between the BTC and Alt season. However, the challenge of investors in this is to identify the beginning of the alt season.

What is this alt season? eToro explains that this is the time in the crypto market loop when altcoins surge against the US Dollar and sometimes outperforms promising cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
