Bitcoin Dominance Dilemma - Why Capital Flows Back To BTC Before Fuelling Altcoin Rally

The cryptocurrency market, a landscape famed for its volatility and rapid innovation, operates on a rhythm dictated by the dominance of Bitcoin and the subsequent explosion of Altcoins. This pattern is proof that the market still moves to BTC’s beat, positioning it as the unseen conductor of this vast digital sector.How Bitcoin Dominance Peaks Before Altcoin EuphoriaIn an X post, Swissblock has mentioned that the Bitcoin and Altcoin cycle continues to indicate that the crypto market remains firmly anchored to BTC dominance. Despite the rise of narratives and market behavior, the market is now approaching the full BTC season zone, a phase where capital seeks safety and structure within BTC.However, this cycle has an interesting nuance that dominance isn’t surging higher as expected, but stabilizing, hinting at early signs of rotation readiness. BTC still leads the narrative, commanding attention and confidence, but the dominance curve appears to be plateauing. If BTC can maintain its stability while altcoin impulses broaden, the market could soon evolve from a BTC-led phase into a mixed regime, a stage where altcoin leadership will begin to re-emerge.Leading full-time crypto trader and investor, Daan Crypto Trades, has also recently offered a key technical perspective on the current state of the crypto market, Bitcoin Dominance, and its implications for a potential all-time high (ATH) breakout.According to Daan’s analysis, BTC has been steadily outperforming altcoins in recent weeks, a dynamic he views as healthy and necessary for the broader market. As BTC dominance rises, capital and attention consolidate around BTC, reinforcing confidence and creating the conditions needed for a convincing break toward ATH.The analyst noted that this phase of BTC strength could extend further, potentially pushing BTC dominance as high as 60% before altcoins begin to catch up again. He believes that this dominance rally may be a bounce within a larger downtrend on the BTC dominance chart. Despite the shift, Daan maintains a balanced approach, keeping a 50/50 split portfolio between BTC and ETH altcoin spot positions, a strategy he has held for some time.Why Bitcoin Strength Still MattersWhile Bitcoin dominance is trending up, Koroush AK, Founder of ZCTraders, highlighted that as long as BTC’s price maintains above the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level around $119,400, altcoins won’t enter panic mode. In addition, the broader market will continue positioning for potential all-time high breakouts.However, BTC may experience a short-term pullback toward the midpoint at around $116,000. Thus, if BTC remains resilient above current support, an extension toward $125,000 could trigger a clean breakout to new highs, reaffirming bullish market structure. Koroush also addresses the psychology behind this kind of trading approach, that a disciplined trader must always prepare for two scenarios when trading.Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei NewsBTC Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei NewsBTC
