After 12+ months of downside, broken charts, and collapsing sentiment, the structure under the Altcoin market is starting to shift. The Others Dominance chart which tracks how altcoins perform relative to #Bitcoin is flashing early signs of recovery. Here’s what’s happening right now: Others dominance has already reclaimed the levels we saw before the October 10th crash. But, Bitcoin is still trading roughly 42% below its highs from that same period. So while BTC is still structurally weak, Altcoins are already stabilizing and gaining relative strength. This divergence usually signals seller exhaustion. If alts were still in heavy distribution, dominance would keep falling. But it isn’t. Instead, it has risen 17% in just the last two months which means the forced selling phase in alts may already be behind us. When the Fed ended QE, BTC$BTC continued correcting for months. But the Others dominance bottomed and never revisited those lows again, not even during the March 2020 crash. RSI on Others dominance has crossed above its moving average for the first time since July 2023, historically this crossover has preceded alt strength phases. ISM has climbed to 52, highest in 40 months. A move above 55 historically aligns with strong performance in high-beta assets like alts. Core inflation just printed a 5-year low which could increase the odds of more Fed easing. Gold and Silver rallies are cooling and often this leads to a rotation from hard assets to risk assets. Most altcoins are still down 80–90%. Leverage has been flushed. Sentiment is near cycle lows. Positioning is extremely light. Historically, mid-term election year has been bearish for the crypto market, so it's possible that we could see more sideways accumulation until Q3/Q4 before a reversal.

DavidTheBuilder ⚠ XRP Breaks Key Support - Volatility Ahead?
The market remains cautious, with BTC$BTC setting the tone - but XRP just took a harder technical hit than most large caps. Price fell below a long-standing support from the prior bull cycle, flipping that zone into heavy resistance around $1.60–$1.70.
Right now, XRP trades below that band, and while a short-term bounce toward resistance is possible, the structure stays fragile. Without a clean reclaim and hold above that range, upside attempts are likely to stall quickly.
What matters most is the downside gap. Below current levels, support is thin until the $0.95–$1.00 zone, which raises the risk of sharper moves if selling pressure picks up.
Here’s the key setup to watch:
▪ $1.60–$1.70 = former support turned resistance
▪ Reclaim and hold = structure improves
▪ Failure at resistance = downside risk grows
▪ $0.95–$1.00 = next meaningful support
The takeaway is simple: XRP isn’t broken - but it is vulnerable. Until resistance flips back to support, bounces look tentative, not decisive.
🔥 BTC$BTC Demand Momentum flips again as buyers quietly reload
#Bitcoin Demand Momentum just printed another sharp rotation from deep negative to aggressive positive territory, a pattern that historically appears near exhaustion bottoms rather than tops.
The 30 day demand curve is rebounding after a heavy sell side phase, showing short term supply pressure fading while long term holders absorb liquidity. Each time this indicator crossed back above zero in previous cycles, #BTC followed with strong upside expansion as sidelined capital stepped back in
Price is compressing while momentum builds underneath. That divergence often signals accumulation, not weakness. Red zones marked capitulation and forced selling. Green spikes reveal stealth demand returning faster than most expect.
If this structure holds, we are looking at early stage reaccumulation instead of distribution. Momentum leads price, not the other way around ⚡
Watch the demand line closely. Sustained positive flow could be the trigger for the next volatility breakout
