OTHERS/BTCUSD: The Ultimate Indicator for Altcoin SeasonsHey TradingView community! I’ve been analyzing the OTHERS/BTCUSD metric, and it’s painting an exciting picture for altcoin traders. This chart might just be the key to timing the next big altcoin rally — let’s break it down!
What is OTHERS/BTCUSD?
This metric calculates the total altcoin market cap (excluding Bitcoin) divided by BTC/USD. It shows how altcoins perform relative to Bitcoin.
High Metric : Altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin — think altcoin season!
Low Metric : Bitcoin dominance takes over, and altcoins take a backseat.
Historical Patterns: Falling Wedges Stealing the Show
The OTHERS/BTC Weekly chart reveals three Falling Wedge patterns, a bullish setup that’s historically preceded massive altcoin bull runs:
1st Altseason (2017-2018) : A Falling Wedge formed in 2016 (prior pink zone). The breakout unleashed a legendary altcoin rally — remember Ethereum and Ripple going parabolic?!
2nd Altseason (2020-2022) : Another wedge in 2018-2019 (blue zone) led to the 2021 altcoin boom, with projects like Solana and DeFi tokens soaring as the metric hit 10M.
3rd Falling Wedge (2022-Now) : Since 2022, a new wedge is forming (green zone), resurfacing the setups that sparked the last two altseasons.
Current Setup: A Critical Support Zone
As of April 27, 2025, the metric is approaching a key support zone of 2M-1.5M (where the altcoin market cap equals 1.5M to 2M Bitcoins).
Historical Significance : This level has been a launchpad in the past — both in 2016 and 2019, it marked the bottom before altcoins reversed and surged.
What’s Next : If this wedge breaks out, the metric could climb to 7M, 9M, or even 11.5M by 2025-2027. That could mean 5-10x gains from bottom for altcoins, depending on the pair!
A sinusoidal wave at the bottom of the chart — it reflect market sentiment cycles, with troughs (like now) often preceding altcoin season greed phases.
Why This Metric Matters
OTHERS/BTCUSD captures the flow of capital in crypto:
Bitcoin often leads bull cycles, pulling in capital first (metric drops).
When BTC’s rally cools, investors chase higher returns in altcoins (metric rises).
The Falling Wedges highlight this cycle — consolidation during Bitcoin dominance, followed by breakouts when altcoins take the spotlight.
Trading Takeaway
Monitor the 2M-1.5M Zone : A breakout here could be your green light to stack altcoins.
Cross-Check Bitcoin Dominance : A drop in BTC.D (Bitcoin Dominance) would confirm capital flowing into altcoins.
Pick Strong Projects : Look for altcoins with solid fundamentals — layer-1s, DeFi, or AI tokens could lead the charge.

Altcoins Will Explode In May!Hello, Skyrexians!
We have already made a lot of analytics about the Bitcoin Dominance, today it's time to update CRYPTOCAP:OTHERS.D analysis because it looks like the bottom could be in!
Let's take a look at the daily time frame. We have already pointed out that globally altcoins are about to finish the bear market and the 5 Elliott waves impulse which you can see on the chart is this last wave. Recently we have shown you the bullish divergence with the Awesome Oscillator, today we can see the confirmation of the divergence on the Acceleration/Deceleration indicator, which measures the waves inside wave 5 with no need to go on lower time frame. This divergence in conjunction with the green dot on the Bullish/Bearish Reversal Bar Indicator gives us strong confirmation of the reversal. The minimal target is 10-10.5% then we will see is it going to be true altseason or not.
Best regards,
Skyrexio Team

Growth On Altcoins Is Beginning Right Now!Hello, Skyrexians!
Last week our main purpose was to catch the potential bottom for CRYPTOCAP:OTHERS.D and top for Bitcoin dominance. While the BTC.D has not still flashed the reversal signal, but altcoins did. So, we have a chance that reversal is coming, but don't be so optimistic on that, we need to see some extra confirmations anyway.
Let's take a look at the daily chart. Here we can see the 5 Elliott waves structure. Previous Elliott waves we have already looked in details in our recent analysis, today we need only wave 5. We pointed out 7-7.6% as a final target. The most likely reversal target was 7.4%, but now we are seeing good reaction from the minimal target. Yes, we have green dot signal on the Bullish/Bearish Reversal Bar Indictor . This is very strong, but let's wait at least the momentum change on the Awesome Oscillator and the opposite signal on the Bitcoin dominance.
Best regards,
Skyrexio Team

Last Wave Of Bear Market Is Happening Now For Altcoins Hello, Skyrexians!
As usual, recently we faced with a lot of hate when posted the article about Bitcoin Dominance growth, yesterday we analyzed a lot of charts on different time frames to make the most precise analysis for you. Hope it will be the truth. We really tried to do our best, please, don't criticize it too much!
We made this analysis briefly to simplify it for you. We are now in the last bearish wave for altcoin dominance, you can open 1 month time frame and see it. Now we dive into the current subwave on the daily time frame. Here we can see the clear view of Elliott waves cycle. Wave 4 has the triangle shape, it gives us more confidence that now price is printing wave 5. If we analyze only 1D time frame the target is 7-7.5%. There wait for bullish divergence and price will likely reverse.
Best regards,
Skyrexio Team

Crypto Total Market Cap Excluding Top 10 (CRYPTOCAP:OTHERS)The Total Market Cap of altcoins (excluding top 10) is showing a promising setup at 171.08B. Here’s the breakdown:
Price has bounced off a long-term ascending trendline (red) that’s been in play since 2017 – a historically strong support.
We’re currently testing a key resistance around 171B (blue line), with a recent volume spike supporting the move.
A break above 171B could open the door for a push toward the next major resistance at 217.88B in the coming months.
On the downside, if this level rejects, watch for a retest of the trendline around 148B.
💡 Trading Idea: Look for a weekly close above 171B to confirm bullish momentum. Volume will be key – sustained buying pressure could signal a breakout.
BTC.D OutlookA few days ago, I made another analyse saying BTC.D will go down to 40%; but, that was in case if BTC had intended to go up from 30K. Today, BTC is falling and we can clearly see that BTC.D. can rise until 50% or more.
The green line is our long time resistance.
The blue line is our mid term trendline.
The pink line is our short term trendline.
Bullish on $OTHERS.D and altcoinsHistorically the DSO & RSI combo is a great tool for spotting potential trend reversals.
I find it to be most accurate on the $OTHERS.D chart when looking at the 1W.
I find that:
- When ever the RSI and DSO meet above 80 % the trend seems to turn to the downside. Set the limit at 70 % and you would get a lot more tops.
- When ever the RSI and DSO meet below 20 % the trend seems to turn to the upside. Set the limit at 30 % and you would get a lot more bottoms.
Current situation:
DSO is right now at 1.22 % and the RSI just crossed the 12.85 % level (= 28.73 RSI)
I would not be shocked to see OTHERS.D go to 10-11 %, but then we could see a shift in the trend as explained above.
Let me hear your thoughts, please :)
Should we be buying ALTS now?It has been a hot topic of whether to take entries into ALTS is a good option now or not.
We too took our sweet time checking markets for sure.
ETHUSDT which is the Pied Piper for ALTS(mice) is currently facing a sort of resistance (around 1900). If we break through this $1900 level with a good volume then surely that can be considered as a good sign of taking entries into ALTS, but for now, we at ChainAssets.Capital would recommend that you take extra caution in taking your position, and keep Short Ratio more as compared to Longs.
Overall Price Action and Trend Analysis is in favor of Shorts. So be prepared for anything here, but the level of $1900 should not be ignored.
If the above analysis proves to be true, we are eying a Target of $1300 in ETHUSDT and $13600 in BTCUSD.
NOTE: Need to wait till Daily Candle closure (LONG If it closes above 29278, & SHORT if Daily Candle Closes below 29278)
