Bitcoin dominance sits at 56.2%, signaling the market remains firmly in Bitcoin's grip. This metric measures BTC's share of total crypto market cap — when it rises, capital concentrates in Bitcoin; when it falls, money rotates into altcoins.
Historically, altcoin season ignites when dominance drops below 50%, often plunging toward 40% or lower during full-blown rotations. At 56.2%, we're not there yet. This suggests Bitcoin continues absorbing liquidity, leaving altcoins starved for sustained momentum. ETH at 10% reinforces this — the second-largest asset isn't leading a rotation either.
Is this good or bad for alts? Neither inherently — it's a waiting game. High dominance means altcoins are cheaper relative to BTC, offering accumulation
