#Altcoin dominance has been coiling inside a massive falling wedge for over four years. That’s not random noise. That’s compression.
And compression of that scale rarely resolves sideways.
What makes this moment different is how alts behaved during the recent crash. While $BTC took heavy structural damage, many alts held relatively firm. That’s subtle — but it matters. Early rotation never looks explosive at first. It looks like relative strength during stress.
That’s the first crack.
History reminds us how fast this can shift.
Just look at Q4 2024:
• $HBAR : $0.04 → $0.40
• $XRP : $0.50 → $3.00+
• $XLM : $0.09 → $0.50
Those weren’t full-blown Alt Seasons. Those were previews.
And now? Most alts that were trading 2–5x higher just months ago are back near fire-sale territory. Structurally compressed. Sentiment drained. Participation low.
That’s where asymmetry lives.
Zoom out to the macro layer:
• Liquidity conditions are improving.
• The Russell 2000 is pushing highs — risk appetite is alive.
• Gold and Silver look extended after aggressive runs.
• Regulatory clarity is slowly forming instead of tightening.
Capital rotates. It doesn’t disappear.
When dominance breaks after multi-year compression, it doesn’t ask for permission. And when the crowd starts believing again, most of the move is already gone.
Multiply the Q4 moves by 5–10x and you start to understand what this setup could imply.
The wedge is tightening.
The disbelief is thick.
That’s usually how the real moves begin.
