“BTC Reached NEW ATH! Why Aren’t My Alts Pumping?”

I keep getting the same question lately:

Let me hit you with the truth —
because the answer is simple.

That’s the game.

Here’s How It Actually Works:

Bull markets are Bitcoin-driven first.

For the first 80% of the cycle:

• Alts bleed against BTC

• They get chopped up in volatility

• They look dead while Bitcoin rips

And it’s not just bad luck.
It’s how every cycle plays out.

Bitcoin Dominance is the Key

Let’s talk Bitcoin Dominance — the % of total crypto market cap that belongs to BTC.

It doesn’t lie.

Here’s the pattern:

1. In the bear market
   → BTC dominance pumps (alts get crushed)

2. During BTC accumulation
   → Dominance holds steady or rises (alts lag)

3. When BTC breaks new highs
   → Dominance spikes again (capital rotates into strength)

4. Only at the final phase
   → BTC stalls at ATHs
   → Dominance finally drops
   → Altseason begins

You want altcoin fireworks?

2021 Cycle

Go back to early 2021.

• BTC rallied from $10K to $60K.

• Alts? Most underperformed badly against BTC.

Then — around March–April —
BTC cracked $60K and stalled.

That’s when alts ran:

• SOL 50x

• MATIC 100x

• DOGE insanity

But it didn’t happen during the first leg of the bull.

That’s the unlock.
That’s the playbook.

So What Should You Do Now?

If your altcoins aren’t pumping — it’s not because they suck.

It’s because Bitcoin hasn’t finished its job yet.

Right now:

• BTC is nearing ATHs

• Dominance is still rising

• Alts are consolidating or bleeding out

This is normal.

Here’s how I’m playing it:

✅ Stay positioned in strength (BTC, ETH, narrative leaders)
✅ Don’t overexpose to alts too early
✅ Watch Bitcoin dominance for a clear reversal
✅ Prepare for rotation once BTC cools at ATHs

The altseason you’re hoping for?

If you jump in too early, you’ll get chopped to death.

If you wait for confirmation, you’ll ride the real rotation when it starts.
