Bitcoin Leads Crypto Rally, but 'Altcoin Season' Looms as Meme Coins Surge

• Bitcoin has been leading the crypto rally, but signs point to an impending "altcoin season" where smaller tokens may outperform.

• Meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu saw huge 40-50% rallies this week, possibly signaling the start of altcoin season.

• However, timing altcoin season is risky - Bitcoin ETF inflows may prevent money from flowing into altcoins.

• Analysts say to watch Ethereum - if ETH breaks $3,500, it could confirm the start of an altcoin run.

• The median return of altcoins vs Bitcoin appears to be bottoming out, which could indicate altcoins are poised to rise.
