Bitcoin Dominance Reaches 62.29%, Highest Level Since 2021
As of now, Bitcoin dominance stands at 62.22% and has been hovering above 60% for over a month since this threshold was reclaimed on February 2.
Is Market Sentiment at a Stall?
Bitcoin's continued dominance signals a cooling period for altcoins, while the broader market is showing signs of stagnation. Historically, sharp increases in Bitcoin's market share have preceded significant shifts in the crypto market cycle.
- November 2023: As Bitcoin dominance reaches 60% for the first time, altcoins see a mini bull run in the following months.
- 2019 & 2021: Bitcoin’s dominance exceeded 70%, leading to a broad market rally that saw altcoins make significant gains.
While Bitcoin's current strength reflects investors' preference for stability, investors are watching for signs of an altcoin resurgence, a pattern that follows historically high levels of BTC dominance.
