Confused on BTC dominance and alt season timing

Been trying to get a handle on the whole $BTC dominance chart. I get the general idea – dominance drops, alts pop. But when does it actually matter? I've seen periods where dominance is dropping but alts are still getting hammered because $BTC is taking a dump. So, for those of you who trade alt season, what's your primary trigger or confluence factor that signals it's actually time to rotate into alts, rather than just another dead cat bounce for them?

You're right to be wary; a falling BTC.D when BTC itself is crashing isn't an alt season. Typically, you want to see BTC stabilize or make higher lows while BTC.D continues its downtrend. That's usually the trigger for real rotation.

That's a great point about BTC price action overriding dominance. For me, it really starts to matter when BTC consolidates or makes higher lows after a significant move up. That stability allows capital to rotate more confidently into alts without getting immediately wiped out by a BTC correction.

That's a common point of confusion. For me, the key is observing when BTC finds some stability after a drop, or even starts a slow grind up, while dominance continues its downtrend. It's not just about the dominance dropping, but the market's overall sentiment stabilizing enough for capital to actually flow into alts.
