BTC dominance doesn't just reflect sentiment — it maps the entire capital rotation sequence.

Here's how altcoin season actually works: $BTC dominance peaks when risk appetite is low and capital is parked in the "safe" crypto. As confidence builds, capital flows first into large-cap alts like $ETH and $SOL — liquid, battle-tested, institutionally recognized. Only after those move does money rotate into mid-caps and eventually speculative micro-caps.

This sequencing is predictable because it mirrors traditional risk-on / risk-off mechanics. ETH typically leads the first alt rotation. Solana often amplifies it — higher beta, faster legs.

The signal to watch: when $BTC dominance starts declining from a multi-month high AND $ETH/BTC ratio turns up simultaneously, the rotation has likely begun. Waiting for individual alt breakouts without that macro backdrop is guessing, not trading.

Altcoin season isn't random. It's a predictable cascade — if you know which dominos fall first.

Patience at the top of the dominance cycle is its own edge.
