Bitcoin Dominance: The Signal Before the Storm
That shift is the DNA of every altseason.
Look at the chart. Bitcoin Dominance is sitting at 58.8%, right under that 62.2% rejection line, and the cracks are showing.
If you’re not watching this metric, you’re blindfolded in a battlefield. BTC Dominance isn’t just another line. It’s the pulse of this market. It tells you when money hides in Bitcoin, and when it bleeds out into alts.

What BTC Dominance Really Means
Bitcoin Dominance measures Bitcoin’s market cap as a percentage of the total crypto market.
When dominance rises → capital runs to safety. People are scared, so they hide in Bitcoin.
When dominance falls → risk appetite returns. Traders step out of the bunker and chase alts.
That shift is the DNA of every altseason.

Where We Stand Right Now
Current level: 58.8%
Rejection: 62.2% (BTC tried but couldn’t hold)
Supports to watch: [premium]
History speaks.
In 2017, BTC Dominance collapsed from 86% to 37% - that was your full-blown altseason.
In 2021, BTC Dominance cracked from 73% to 39% - alts went parabolic again.
Both times, the pattern was identical: BTC dominance peaked, rolled over, and broke key supports.
Now? We’re setting up for the same play.
Why This Matters for You
If you’re still asking, “When altseason?” this is your answer. It won’t be when influencers scream about it. It won’t be when CNBC covers Solana or Arbitrum.
It will be when this chart drops into the 54%-48% band. That’s where Bitcoin loosens its grip, and capital floods into ETH, SOL, and then the mid-caps.
Every altseason begins with blood on this chart.
How This Plays Out
[premium] Range
Market rotates lightly. ETH and SOL outperform BTC slightly. Most retail traders ignore it.Break Under [premium]
The first real rotation. Mid-caps start outperforming. You’ll see coins like LINK, ONDO, and TAO break key resistances.[premium] Retest
This is the zone where real altseason takes hold. Small-caps explode, Twitter turns euphoric, and your neighbor suddenly remembers his MetaMask password.[premium] and Lower
That’s the mania zone. The charts go vertical, retail piles in late, and the ones who prepared exit into strength.
The Psychology Trap
Here’s the catch:
Most traders FOMO in when BTC Dominance is already at [premium] and falling. They buy when alts are peaking, not when the signal flashed at 58% and 54%.
The pros? They position quietly in the bleed, scale in on support breaks, and take profit when the crowd screams “supercycle.”
That’s the difference between retiring from this cycle, or spending the next one coping.

BTC Dominance is breaking down. It’s not a maybe. It’s happening in real time. You either read the signal and prepare, or you join the crowd late.
