Altcoins like Ethereum<\/a>, Litecoin<\/a>, and XRP<\/a> have struggled to recapture lost market share from Bitcoin<\/a> in 2019. This has been reflected by a sharp increase in Bitcoin dominance \u2013 a metric that has increased steadily throughout the year. <\/span><\/p>\n

But as Bitcoin dominance begins to break down from recent highs, altcoins have begun to show signs of life once again, and some crypto analysts believe that a recovery may be ahead for altcoins now that Bitcoin has started to correct in a big way.<\/span><\/p>\n

All this year, Bitcoin\u2019s parabolic rally has been like a vacuum for altcoins, sucking out whatever remaining value they have left after falling as much as 99% in some cases to their bear market lows.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Bitcoin climbed higher and higher, both the USD value and the BTC ratio in altcoins began to fall. But now that Bitcoin\u2019s bullish rally has come to an end, Bitcoin dominance \u2013 a metric used to weigh Bitcoin\u2019s market cap against the rest of the alts in the space \u2013 has also started falling, and it could open the flood gates for altcoins to rally.<\/span><\/p>\n

BTC dominance reached a peak of over 70% in early September and has been steadily declining since. This week, Bitcoin dominance fell to under 67% and appears to be ready to plummet lower, especially if altcoins continue to rally.<\/span><\/p>\n
