So ada's been making some noise lately, up 7% back in early 2026 when traders were just getting back from the holidays. Bitcoin and Ethereum were steady too, up around 1% each at the time. But here's the thing - it wasn't really an altseason moment. The ada gains looked more like selective buying rather than wholesale rotation out of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Analysts were saying investors are still in capital preservation mode, sticking with the liquid majors. The Altseason Index was sitting around 16, which basically screams Bitcoin dominance. Fast forward and ada's actually down slightly now, along with the broader market. The whole setup felt fragile back then and it's proven to be - thin liquidity and quick profit-taking kept things choppy. Bitcoin and Ethereum holding their levels was seen as early signs of dip-buying returning, but conviction hasn't really spread beyond the major names. Risk appetite helped push things higher across assets initially, but ada and other alts haven't sustained that momentum.
