As Bitcoin (BTC) inches closer to $70,000, its dominance in the wider crypto market has risen to a cycle high of 58.9%.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bitcoin Dominance Rises, Are Altcoins In Trouble?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D), a metric that measures the proportion of the total cryptocurrency market cap commanded by the leading digital asset, has <\/span>hit<\/span><\/a> a new cycle high of 58.9%. The last time the crypto market witnessed this level of BTC.D was in April 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a slight pullback following Iran\u2019s attack on Israel earlier this month, Bitcoin has risen by almost 10% in the past week, trading at $67,769 at the time of writing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Concurrently, the total crypto market cap has surged from $2.26 trillion on October 8, to $2.41 trillion on October 16, according to <\/span>data<\/span><\/a> from CoinGecko. However, the rise in the total crypto market cap is largely buoyed by the upward movement in BTC price.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the start of October, BTC.D hovered around 57.1%. Since then, it has risen by approximately 1.8%, showcasing Bitcoin\u2019s strong performance relative to altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Binance Coin (BNB), and others.<\/span><\/p>\n

The current level of BTC.D has cast doubt on the prospects for the much-anticipated \u201caltseason,\u201d typically characterized by parabolic price increases in altcoins and a decline in BTC.D. Notably, BTC.D peaked at 70% during the post-COVID bull market in 2020-21 before dropping to 40% by mid-2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

In late 2022, BTC.D bottomed out at around 39% amid the collapse of FTX, which halted operations due to fraud charges against its leadership. Since then, BTC.D has been on a gradual rise, as shown in the chart below.<\/span><\/p>\n

ETH\/BTC Ratio Must Rebound For A Potential Altseason<\/span><\/h2>\n

As BTC.D continues to rise, it is important to consider the ETH\/BTC trading pair. For the uninitiated, the ETH\/BTC trading pair – colloquially known as the ETH\/BTC ratio – tracks Ethereum\u2019s (ETH) performance against BTC.<\/span><\/p>\n

At press time, ETH\/BTC trading pair stands at 0.0385, a level last seen in April 2021.

Further, the total value locked (TVL) in decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols across all blockchains has <\/span>slid<\/span><\/a> from almost $110 billion in June 2024 to $88 billion, indicating weak demand for altcoins among crypto investors.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, some crypto analysts and technical indicators still suggest a potential altseason may be on the horizon.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, earlier this month, the altcoin market cap <\/span>surpassed<\/span><\/a> its 200-day exponential moving average (EMA), a key resistance level that signals strong altcoin performance in recent days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly, Steno Research recently <\/span>remarked<\/span><\/a> that ETH is set for a comeback following the US Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cuts. BTC trades at $67,769 at press time, up 2.5% in the past 24 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n
