Altcoin Season Incoming？ Bitcoin Dominance Drops Below Key Support

Bitcoin dominance is weakening, and traders are watching closely. This shift has sparked talk of a new altcoin season, with analysts expecting capital to rotate from Bitcoin into major altcoins. As BTC.D falls below a key support level, many believe the market is entering a new phase.

Altcoin Season Signals？ Bitcoin Dominance Slips Below 63.98%

At the beginning of this month, the total market cap of the cryptocurrency market was $2.63 trillion. In the initial days of the month, the market experienced extreme volatility. Between April 5 and 7, the market plummeted by 9.8%, dropping to a monthly low of $2.31 trillion. From April 9 to 12, the market climbed by over 11.71%. As of now, the total market cap is at $2.65 trillion, down 5.2% from the monthly peak.

The altcoin market has followed a similar pattern. Starting the month at $991.26 billion, it dipped to $831.83 billion by April 7. Between April 9 and 12, the market rebounded by 11.6%. Currently, the altcoin market cap sits at $958.43 billion—around 7.8% below its April peak.

The four-hour BTC.D chart shows that April 7s peak of 63.98% acted as strong resistance. On April 16, Bitcoin dominance broke above it, only to fall back below it today. Now, it sits at 63.83%. If the trend continues, dominance could test the monthly low of 63.16%, further fueling altcoin optimism.
