Bitcoin dominance<\/a> has been plummeting recently letting altcoins have their time in the crypto market spotlight for a change. But as altcoins begin to correct, BTC dominance is signaling that the asset is about to recover from the altcoin market’s rally against it.<\/p>\n What does this mean for Bitcoin, and how will certain altcoins withstand the coming blow to their market share from BTC dominance?<\/p>\n BTC dominance is a metric that weighs the first-ever cryptocurrency against the rest of the market. Because it started off the entire industry and has first-mover advantage, it commands the lion’s share of market capitalization.<\/p>\n Currently, Bitcoin’s dominance rests somewhere near 62%, after setting a high last year in September at 73%.<\/p>\n Related Reading | How Crypto Market Fear And Greed Be Used Profitably As A Trade Trigger<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The rise to 73% in 2019 crushed altcoins, taking many of them down to as much as 90% or less on their BTC ratios. Prior to that, however, altcoins ballooned during the peak crypto bubble, where BTC dominance fell to as low as 35%.<\/p>\n Lately, altcoins have finally been recovering against the first-ever cryptocurrency<\/a>, thanks largely due to the unstoppable DeFi trend and Chainlink setting new all-time highs<\/a>.<\/p>\n But any altcoin season taking place across the crypto space over the last several weeks could very well be coming to an end already.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to the TD Sequential indicator on weekly timeframes, BTC.D has triggered a 9 “buy” signal. Coinciding with the signal on Bitcoin dominance, are sell setups on top altcoins like Ethereum, Chainlink, and Cardano<\/a>.<\/p>\n Higher timeframe signals are given more weight in technical analysis, suggesting that any recent gains could soon reverse if the signal confirms.<\/p>\n Altcoins that have suffered extreme devastation, dropping to as low as 99% from their former all-time highs, may be in for a lot more carnage.<\/p>\n BTC dominance hasn’t just triggered a 9 “buy” setup on weekly price charts, the setup is taking place at the bottom trend line of what appears to be a massive bull flag on BTC.D price charts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The bull flag mimics the previous multi-year consolidation pattern, which resulted in a break to the upside in 2019 and altcoins collapsing. It also had a similar 9 “buy” setup on the TD sequential, pictured above.<\/p>\n If the 9 setup on weekly BTC.D charts plays out the same way, the leading cryptocurrency by market cap will end up commanding as much as 85% of the total cryptocurrency market.<\/p>\n Related Reading | How Lengthening Bitcoin Cycles Conflict With Halving Driven Supply Theories<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nBTC Dominance Signals Buy, Potential Bull Flag Formation Could Wreck Alts<\/h2>\n
