Bitcoin News Today: Altseason Momentum Accelerates as Altcoins Surge, Impulse Metric Hits Record High

Altseason momentum has accelerated as Bitcoin consolidates near its all-time high while alternative cryptocurrencies surge, marked by an Altseason Score of 100 and a record-breaking Impulse metric [1]. This shift underscores a broad capital rotation from Bitcoin to high-beta assets, with synchronized gains across the altcoin sector confirming the ongoing trend. The Impulse indicator, which measures coordinated momentum, reached year-to-date peaks, signaling heightened alignment among altcoins [1]. Historical context reveals that stronger Impulse readings typically correlate with shorter, more explosive altseasons, as seen in 2023–2024, compared to the 2021 cycle, which saw prolonged but weaker performance [2]. Current market dynamics mirror the 2023–2024 pattern, with sharper price movements driven by intensified Impulse and structural alignment [3]. Analysts note that not all altcoins benefit equally; those exhibiting strong Impulse and favorable price structures are poised to lead the cycle [3]. Recent dips in Impulse to 7% are viewed as temporary pauses rather than trend reversals, emphasizing strategic selection for long-term gains [3]. The Altcoin Vector data underscores that market participants are prioritizing altcoins over Bitcoin, a trend likely to continue as Impulse stabilizes and structural patterns solidify.
