Around three weeks back, altcoins suddenly started to rip higher; Ethereum gained 10% in a single day, Litecoin rocketed up by 8%, XRP gained some 20-30% in three days’ time, and so on and so forth.
But since then, this odd trend in the crypto market, which has been dominated by Bitcoin for the better part of a year now (and especially since the start of 2019), has paused. After hitting 69%, Bitcoin dominance has been relatively flat, leading some to suggest that it is BTC’s time to shine once again.Related Reading: Crypto Tidbits: Bitcoin ETF Denied, Libra Loses Visa & eBay, SEC Crackdown on Telegram’s Blockchain

Analyst Chonis recently noted that Bitcoin dominance — the percentage of the cryptocurrency market made up of BTC — is far from a support level, despite the metric’s stagnation. He thus claimed that he could see altcoins continuing to gain traction “until the historic dominance level of 67.2% is truly confirmed as continued support.”(dominance)- I could still see giving up a couple more percentage points down to coins until this level of historic market capitalization is truly confirmed as continued support… — BIG Chonis (@BigChonis)Analyst NebraskanGooner has echoed this sentiment. He that his indicator is “signaling a trend reversal in [Bitcoin] dominance”, implying that the metric may trend towards 66%.
“The more I see this PA the more I feel this will be the case. I think people will continue to overanalyze the BTC range and miss out on significant alt movements. Not me.”
