BTC dominance dips as altcoins show signs of strength — traders watch for a key retest before calling the next major shift.
The market share of Bitcoin, measured by its dominance ratio, has recently fallen to around 59.34%, raising speculation that the long-awaited altseason may be approaching. Traditionally, a decline in BTC dominance signals that capital is flowing from Bitcoin into altcoins, fueling rapid gains in alternative cryptocurrencies.
The daily BTC dominance chart shows a rejection from resistance near the 61% zone, followed by a sharp drop into the high 59% range. This movement comes after months of relatively stable dominance levels, during which Bitcoin maintained a strong market grip.
A green support zone lies just below the current level, between 58% and 58.5%, representing a key historical area where altcoin rallies have often accelerated. Above, the red-marked resistance near 60–60.5% is now a critical threshold.
“If BTC dominance fails to retest and reclaim the 60% level, it could open the door for altcoins to outperform in the coming weeks,” According to BITX market strategist. “We’re seeing early signs of rotation into mid-cap and large-cap altcoins.”
Market Sentiment
Investor sentiment has begun to tilt in favor of altcoins. Analysts point out that Bitcoin’s recent price consolidation has allowed liquidity to shift into assets such as Ethereum, Binance Coin, and emerging Layer 2 tokens. This behavior is consistent with historical altseason patterns, where BTC stabilizes and traders seek higher returns elsewhere.
While BTC dominance remains just below the critical 60% mark, the market is at a tipping point. A continued decline without a strong rebound could mark the start of a new altseason, providing fertile ground for rapid altcoin gains. Traders will be closely watching the dominance chart in the coming days to confirm the trend.
