PANews reported on March 5th that, according to Cointelegraph, Santiment data shows that social media discussion about altcoins has fallen to its lowest point in two years. As of the week ending February 27th, the altcoin social dominance index was only 33, far below the 750 in July 2025. Google Trends data also shows that the search popularity for "altcoins" is only 4 points.
Santiment believes this extreme low level of attention is often a signal that a rebound is about to begin. CoinMarketCap's Altcoin Season Index is currently at 34, indicating that the market is in "Bitcoin season." Analyst Michaël van de Poppe stated that once Bitcoin's rally slows, altcoins may regain market attention.
