AltSeasonality - MTF

The key for altcoin traders is that the lower the timeframe, the higher the alpha.
By tracking the TOTAL3/BTC.D ratio — a real-time measure of altcoin strength versus Bitcoin — this tool highlights when capital is rotating into or out of altcoins. It works as a bias filter, helping traders avoid low-conviction setups, especially in chop or during BTC-led conditions.
________________________________________________________________________
It works well on the 1D chart to validate swing entries during strong altcoin expansion phases — especially when TOTAL3/BTC.D breaks out while BTCUSD consolidates.
On the 4H or 1D chart, rising TOTAL3/BTC.D + a breakout on your altcoin = high-conviction setup. If BTC is leading, fade the move or reduce size. Consider pairing with the Accumulation - Distribution Candles, optimized for the 1D (not shown).
🔍 Where this indicator really excels, however, is on the 1H and 15M charts, where short-term traders need fast bias confirmation before committing to a move. Designed for scalpers, intraday momentum traders, and tactical swing setups.
Use this indicator to confirm whether an altcoin breakout is supported by broad market flow — or likely to fail due to hidden BTC dominance pressure.

🧠 How it works:
- TOTAL3 = market cap of altcoins (excl. BTC + ETH)
- BTC.D = Bitcoin dominance as % of total market cap
- TOTAL3 / BTC.D = a normalized measure of altcoin capital strength vs Bitcoin
- BTCUSD = trend baseline and comparison anchor
The indicator compares these forces side-by-side, using a normalized dual-line ribbon. There is intentionally no "smoothing".
When TOTAL3/BTC.D is leading, the ribbon shifts to an “altseason active” phase. When BTCUSD regains control, the ribbon flips back into BTC dominance — signaling defensive posture.

💡 Strategy Example:
On the 1H chart, a crossover into altseason → check the 15M chart for confirmation. Consider adding the SUPeR TReND 2.718 for confirmation (not shown). If both align, you have trend + flow confluence. If BTCUSD is leading or ribbon is mixed, reduce exposure or wait for confirmation. Further confirmation via Volume breakouts in your specific coin.
