Let's read this chart clean.
Altcoin Dominance — the percentage of total crypto market cap held by everything outside $BTC — has been carving out a falling wedge since 2021. That's three years of lower highs and lower lows, compressing price into a narrowing range.
Why does this matter? Falling wedges are continuation patterns that often resolve to the upside, especially after extended downtrends. The structure here is textbook: descending trendlines converging, volume typically drying up as the pattern matures, and price coiling for a breakout.
What confirms it? A decisive break above the upper wedge resistance with volume. That's your signal that alts are starting to reclaim market share from $BTC. Watch for a clean close above the line, not just a wick.
What invalidates it? A breakdown below wedge support. If dominance breaks lower instead, it means alts continue bleeding relative strength to Bitcoin — and the wedge was just a pause in the larger downtrend.
The setup is there. The structure is clean. Now we wait for confirmation or invalidation — no guessing, just reading what the chart teaches us.
