Major Surge in ETH, LINK, MKR Withdrawals: Precursor to New Altseason?

Key Points

• Binance altcoins are undergoing significant withdrawals, indicating possible long-term accumulation by investors.
• Despite Bitcoin’s dominance, altcoins are showing strong performance, suggesting a potential market shift.

Altcoins are experiencing substantial withdrawals from Binance , leading to speculation about investor strategies.

Altcoins Showing Consistent Outflows

Ethereum [ETH], Chainlink [LINK], and Maker [MKR] are among the top tokens exhibiting steady outflows. This activity implies that whales are transferring their assets from exchanges to personal wallets, a common indicator of long-term accumulation. Interestingly, these withdrawals persist without a confirmed altcoin season.

The robust offloading trend could indicate a subtle positioning ahead of a broader market rotation from Bitcoin [BTC] to altcoins.

Bitcoin’s Dominance and Altcoin Season Index

Bitcoin’s dominance recently fell from 65.81% but found support near 63.44%, maintaining its broader ascending channel. The dominance rebound does reflect short-term BTC strength. However, historical patterns show that altcoin rallies often begin when BTC dominance fails to make new highs.

The current Altcoin Season Index remains low at 22, suggesting a Bitcoin season. However, the index has started to rise from previous lows, hinting at building altcoin momentum.

Despite Bitcoin gaining 5.94% in the last 90 days, several altcoins have posted explosive gains. Story [IP] surged by 218%, FORM jumped 174%, and Maker [MKR] rose over 75%.

The market presented an unusual divergence. Binance outflows indicated that large holders were accumulating altcoins. At the same time, BTC dominance held firm within an uptrend, while altcoin returns surged.

This divergence may soon resolve in favor of altcoins, especially if Bitcoin dominance drops below support. If BTC dominance fails to break its current highs and altcoins maintain momentum, a broader rotation could unfold rapidly.
