Alts Lag as Bitcoin Dominates the Market

While Bitcoin's dominance continues to rise, the altcoin market remains overshadowed despite expectations of an alts rally.

Bitcoin and Altcoin Market: Capitalization Divergence

Bitcoin's market cap continues to grow nearing $2 Trillion, while altcoins remain pressured, not reaching their former highs. This highlights a redistribution of existing capital without significant new investments. Historically, altcoins followed Bitcoin's movements, but the correlation has diminished, indicating changing investor preferences.

Altseason Indicator: What Does It Show?

Analyst Michael van de Poppe noted that the current Altseason Index shows a value of 47, indicating Bitcoin's predominance over altcoins. With the index below 75, it signals Bitcoin retains more than 50% market dominance. This explains the lack of alts' expectations in the current scenario. The index's erratic fluctuation around 50 could suggest a potential shift in favor of altcoins.

Altcoin Market Cap in Consolidation

The total market cap of altcoins, excluding Bitcoin, shows a consolidation pattern forming a descending wedge over recent months. This pattern, typically bullish, suggests a potential breakout. The market cap fluctuates between a high of $1.37 Trillion and a low of $1.32 Trillion, indicating a period of uncertainty and accumulation. As the apex of the wedge nears, the potential for a bullish breakout increases, which could mark the start of the anticipated altseason.

Movement above the upper trend line of the wedge could trigger a rally among altcoins, attracting new liquidity. Conversely, a drop below the support line may delay the altseason, continuing Bitcoin's market dominance.
