Some people might be skeptical of me saying investors are starting to position themselves in alts. This shouldn't surprise you at all, they buy low and a sideways market is a great time to rotate. This is not true for every alt, just the ones smart money believes will outperform in the future. They typically look for a growing number of transactions on a certain platform in case you were wondering. Transactions for ADA on the other hand have gone down significantly recently, this is why the dominance looks the way it does at the moment. Things they are interested in right now: NFTs, defi, privacy, metaverse. However, if you want me to be more specific, this started around the 12th. This does not mean ALTs are about to fly through the roof right now, it means they are starting to position themselves at good prices for when alt season comes. If you would like to verify it and you don't personally know any extremely large investors or you can't afford the tier 3 glassnode subscription, go to messari.io and look at the market cap dominance for SOL, ETH, DOT, ONE. You can do this on tradingview but it doesn't have the dominance for a lot of alts. While retail is scared and starting to sell, they buy. When the dominance starts to bear flag and you see upward movement, the people buying are the smart money. When the dominance goes down on a bear flag pole, that's retail. This is typical of what you saw during the entire pullback, retail sold low, smart money bought during the entire month of sep.
