Bitcoin dominance at 56.47% signals the market remains firmly in a BTC-led cycle. This metric measures Bitcoin's share of total crypto market cap — when it rises, capital flows into BTC as a safe haven; when it falls, liquidity rotates into altcoins, triggering altseason.
At current levels, we're well above the 50% threshold that historically precedes broad altcoin rallies. The last true altseason began when BTC.D broke below 45% in late 2020. With dominance this elevated, altcoins face persistent sell pressure against BTC pairs. ETH at 9.94% dominance also reflects its struggle to decouple.
This isn't necessarily bad — it's a accumulation zone for patient investors. But for active traders
