Bitcoin Dominance Nears Resistance, Altseason May Follow

Bitcoin Nears 70.98% Dominance, Analysts Anticipate Shift

Bitcoin’s dominance ascended to nearly 65%, raising speculation of an altcoin season. Analysts focus on the 70.98% resistance, crucial for market shifts. Institutional players like BlackRock significantly influence current dynamics. Bitcoin’s sustained dominance challenges the altcoin sector’s growth trajectory.

“BTC Dominance just made a new cycle ATH. This cycle is different because when BlackRock & Saylor buy Bitcoin they just hold it. They don’t swap them for altcoins.” – Thomas Fahrer, Co-founder, Apollo

Altcoin Market Sees 28% Decline in 2025

Bitcoin’s dominance affects the altcoin market significantly, with a marked 28% decline since early 2025. Investor interest remains concentrated on Bitcoin, with trading volumes favoring it over Ethereum and other altcoins.

As market capitalization pressures altcoins, only 17% have outperformed Bitcoin recently. Institutional investments amplify Bitcoin’s commanding market position, potentially stalling altcoin gains.

Experts Predict Altseason Timing Post-Bitcoin Peaks

Historical patterns indicate potential altcoin rotations when Bitcoin hits peak dominance. Nic notes a pattern of altseason emergence 320 days post-Bitcoin price lows. Current conditions might alter this typical trend and delay altseason onset.

Technical analysis shows overbought signals for Bitcoin, though no reversal is imminent. Analysts cite the Federal Open Market Committee meeting as a possible catalyst for market changes, warranting attention in coming months.
