# FAQs

Altseason Index FAQs

<details>

<summary>What exactly does the Altseason Index measure?</summary>

The Altseason Index measures the flow of capital and relative momentum between Altcoins, Bitcoin, and traditional tech markets. It uses a composite model comprising RSI, Mayer Multiple, and cross-asset performance ratios to output a single 0-100 value indicating altcoin undervaluation or overextension.

<details>

<summary>What does a value below 20 indicate?</summary>

A value below 20 indicates a "Deep Opportunity" zone. Historically, when the index drops to this level, altcoins are heavily undervalued, downside risk is compressed, and it marks a prime area for long-term accumulation.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How do I know when the market is overextended?</summary>

When the index crosses above the 80 level, it enters the "Extreme Risk" zone. This suggests that altcoin valuations are stretched and capital is highly likely to rotate back into Bitcoin or stablecoins. It is generally viewed as a signal to take profits.

<details>

<summary>Can I customize the indicator for different assets?</summary>

Yes. From the settings panel, you can customize the base symbol, the comparator symbols (like TOTAL3 or NVDA), the lookback timeframes, and the relative weights of each component metric to fit your specific trading strategy.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Does the indicator provide alerts?</summary>

Yes, the Altseason Index includes built-in alert conditions. You can set up TradingView alerts to notify you automatically whenever the index enters the Deep Opportunity zone (crosses under 20) or the Extreme Risk zone (crosses over 80).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/investing/market-structure-and-rotation/altseason-index/faqs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
