Watching the BTC dominance and ETH dominance divergence is one of the cleanest alt-rotation clocks in crypto.
Here is the logic: when $BTC dominance peaks and begins rolling over, capital starts leaking into large-cap alts first. But the real confirmation signal comes when ETH dominance itself starts to compress. That squeeze means liquidity is cascading further down the cap table into mid and small caps.
Three stages to watch:
1. BTC.D peaks — Large-cap rotation starts. ETH and $BNB typically lead.
2. ETH.D peaks — Mid-cap alts wake up. This is the broadening phase.
3. Both declining simultaneously — Speculative heat is fully distributed. Historically a late-cycle signal, not an entry point.
The mistake most people make is chasing stage 3 thinking it is stage 1. By the time every altcoin is green for weeks straight, the risk/reward has already compressed substantially.
Right now, studying where BTC.D and ETH.D sit relative to their 90-day ranges tells you more about positioning than most price charts. Rotation is a process, not an event — and the dominance ratios are your map.
Know the stage before you size the trade. $BTC $BNB
