The entire cryptocurrency industry is buzzing now that Bitcoin may have bottomed<\/a> and a number of altcoins have started to break through downtrend resistance<\/a> and cause a spike in price. The sudden, powerful rallies in the altcoin market have led many crypto traders and analysts alike to suggest an \u201calt season\u201d is upon us.<\/span><\/p>\n The price charts of many individual smaller cap altcoins clearly depicts a change in sentiment and buying momentum amongst bulls. However, one simple chart shows that there has never been more interest in the alt market, proving that an \u201calt season\u201d is already well underway.<\/span><\/p>\n Look at any number of altcoin price charts and there\u2019s no doubt you\u2019ll find a sudden rally<\/a> following months of decline. It\u2019s led to even experienced traders<\/a> calling for an \u201calt season.\u201d While almost each day a new coin is painting double-digit, and even triple-digit gains, the best proof that an alt season is upon us is by reviewing data on Google Trends.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The above chart clearly demonstrates a spike in interest in the altcoin market. In fact, there\u2019s more interest now than there has been in over a year.<\/span><\/p>\n Related Reading | Experienced Altcoin Trader Outlines Expectations For Bitcoin and Alt Bull Cycles<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s worth noting that the topic \u201caltcoins\u201d was used in the data, not \u201caltcoins\u201d the individual search term. Google<\/a> describes topics as a collection of related search terms that are aggregated to give a more accurate overall snapshot of what people are searching for.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIn addition to helping with ambiguous search terms like “rice,” the new feature also automates counting many different searches that probably mean the same thing. So, when you measure interest in “Gwyneth Paltrow (Actress)” our algorithms count many other searches that mean the same thing “Gweneth Paltrow,” “Gwen Paltro,” etc. As our systems improve, we may even count searches like “Lead actress in Iron Man.” This can be particularly useful for topics that are commonly searched with misspellings and in different languages,\u201d Google explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n This means that not only is Google taking the exact search term \u201caltcoins\u201d into consideration when aggregating the total interest in a topic, it\u2019s also taking related search terms such as \u201cLitecoin<\/a>,\u201d \u201cXRP<\/a>,\u201d and \u201cRavencoin<\/a>,\u201d into account in aggregate.<\/span><\/p>\n Regardless of how Google pulls the data, Google Trends very clearly shows that interest in the altcoin market is the highest it\u2019s been in a year. But when zooming out, the recent spike in interest is the highest level of interest ever witnessed in the alt market ever.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Not even the peak of the last bull run resulted in a similar level of interest in alts such as Litecoin<\/a> or EOS<\/a>. During that time, Ethereum<\/a> had reached an all-time high of over $1,400, while other top cryptos such as XRP<\/a> and Stellar<\/a> reached $3.40 and $0.87 respectively.<\/span><\/p>\nAltcoin Season Is Here, According to Google Trends<\/span><\/h2>\n
