This year has been all about Bitcoin. Even the handful of altcoins that have made good gains are now losing them as BTC crushed them all with its increasing market share.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Dominance at 2 Year High<\/h2>\n

According to charts on Tradingview.com<\/a> BTC dominance topped 72.5 percent today. Its recent move back into five figures has kept the digital asset within its range bound channel but the altcoins have not shared in similar momentum.<\/p>\n

The last time Bitcoin dominance<\/a> was this high was back in July 2017 when it was priced at just $2,450 with a market capitalization of $900 million. This was a spike, however, so the previous sustained period of BTC supremacy was further back in May 2017 when it fell from over 80 percent.<\/p>\n

According to analysts it could be facing resistance here though as there are a number of bearish signals appearing on the chart according to \u2018alan masters\u2019 who posted<\/a> his TA on Tradingview.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have low and decreasing volume.
\nBearish divergence showing up on the MACD and RSI.
\nStrong resistance ahead.
\nRSI Overbought.
\nOur main scenario is marked with arrows on the chart. The situation can easily change if the next resistance at 74.84 is broken with good strength and volume.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Conversely some analysts have plotted the clear uptrend, predicting further gains as the altcoins get wiped out.<\/p>\n
