Bitcoin smashing through $12,000 gave the cryptocurrency enough momentum and energy to take out $13,000 and revisit last year’s highs<\/a>. But while it did so, it caused altcoins like Ethereum, Chainlink, and dozens more to bleed out relative to BTC.<\/p>\n It has left alts in a precarious position, potentially about to be left for dead<\/a> by Bitcoin dominance and a possible 30% rally from here.<\/p>\n Bitcoin first arrived after the Great Recession<\/a> of 2008. Within a few years, the underlying technology itself took new life in the form of altcoins, many designed to improve upon the original cryptocurrency in some way.<\/p>\n Ethereum added smart contracts, while Litecoin sought to improve speed and loosen up the tight supply slightly. Others were created to solve scalability.<\/p>\n Related Reading | Crypto Capital Manager Claims Failed Altcoin Promises Won\u2019t Be Forgotten<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n No altcoins have been able to beat Bitcoin at its own game<\/a>, but the allure of the next big thing in crypto caused a frenzy of FOMO after Bitcoin exploded to $20,000. The hyper-growth across the crypto industry in both capital and in total coins created, caused BTC dominance, a metric measuring the top crypto asset’s weight against the rest of the total crypto market cap, to dive.<\/p>\n A metric that previously never broke below 95%, within a year or two fell to 35% dominance. Ethereum gobbled up a significant chunk, along with XRP, and other top ten assets.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nearly four years later, and now Bitcoin is on its way back up<\/a> toward the highs it broke down from, and it could all happen with a two-week timeframe close above the middle-Bollinger Band.<\/p>\n A close above the moving average from which the two standard deviations are derived is a long or short signal. Note that the two previous closes above the middle-BB resulted in an over 30% climb each time. Closing below the middle-BB is what sent BTC.D off the deep end and kicked off the first-ever altcoin season.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n An inverse head and shoulders bottom<\/a> on BTC.D peaked as the crypto bubble popped, and a breakout of the neckline took Bitcoin to the 2019 top where altcoins were decimated in its wake.<\/p>\n Related Reading | Crypto Analyst: Altcoins To \u201cTank\u201d While Bitcoin Runs For All-Time High<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Another 30% rally from the middle Bollinger Band<\/a> that could result from a two-week close above the key level, would take BTC dominance to as high as 85%, coinciding with technical analysis resistance and support levels, as well as retesting a rising wedge pattern and forming the head on yet another reversal pattern.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nRemember The Once In A Lifetime Altcoin Season And Bitcoin’s All-Time High<\/h2>\n
