Bitcoin Shift: Growing Dominance and Altcoin Decline

The latest cryptocurrency market analysis highlights a significant separation of Bitcoin from altcoins. This article examines the reasons behind the market dynamic shifts.

Change in Bitcoin and Altcoin Correlation

According to CryptoQuant data, Bitcoin's price correlation with altcoins is no longer holding. Historically, the correlation ranged from 0.50 to 0.90, but this trend began to break since late 2024. When Bitcoin's price surged past $100,000 on May 30, 2025, many altcoins experienced a drop.

The primary reason is linked to uneven liquidation events. Altcoin traders faced long liquidations, particularly on exchanges like Binance, due to excessive leverage use.

Strength of the Bitcoin Bull Cycle

Some analysts note that the Bitcoin bull cycle continues to gain strength. CryptoQuant's Net Realized Profit and Loss metric indicates current profit-taking activity remains balanced, signaling investor confidence. DanCoinInvestor believes the cycle is still gaining momentum following the 2024 ETF launch.

Despite Bitcoin rising to $92,000, interest from everyday investors remains lower than in 2017.

Forecasts for Altcoins

While bullish sentiment surrounds Bitcoin, the outlook for altcoins remains uncertain. CoinCodex's Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index shows a reading of 74, indicating strong greed among investors, yet this sentiment hasn't lifted overall market mood. The total crypto market cap dropped by 4.66% in the last day. Altcoins like Ethereum and Binance Coin continue to lose value, lagging behind Bitcoin.

The current state of the cryptocurrency market emphasizes a significant separation of Bitcoin from altcoins, with Bitcoin's market dominance on the rise. Investors should proceed cautiously in their decisions amidst these shifting market dynamics.
