Bitcoin dominance falls from 66% to 64.5%
Altcoins begin to show signs of strength
Market watchers hint at possible altseason
Bitcoin Dominance Falls—Altcoins Gaining Ground?
Bitcoin dominance has taken a noticeable dip, falling from its recent cycle high of 66% to 64.5%. While that may not seem like a huge shift, in the world of crypto, it’s often the first sign of something bigger brewing: altseason.
This shift in dominance means altcoins are starting to outperform Bitcoin in terms of market share. Investors are now asking — is this the beginning of the long-awaited altseason, where smaller coins surge as Bitcoin cools off?

What Does the Drop in Dominance Mean?
Bitcoin dominance measures the share of Bitcoin’s market cap relative to the total crypto market. When dominance is high, Bitcoin leads the market. When it starts falling, altcoins often take center stage.
The drop from 66% to 64.5% may indicate that capital is rotating into altcoins. Projects in sectors like DeFi, AI, and Layer 2 solutions are starting to flash green, with many outperforming Bitcoin on a percentage basis over the past week.
Coins like Ethereum, Solana, Chainlink, and Avalanche have all shown renewed momentum, suggesting that traders are growing more confident in higher-risk, higher-reward assets.
Is Altseason Really Here?
While it’s too early to confirm a full-blown altseason, the signs are becoming clearer. Bitcoin’s recent slowdown, combined with fresh capital moving into mid- and low-cap altcoins, suggests a shift in market behavior.
To truly confirm an altseason, we’ll need to see sustained performance from altcoins across multiple sectors — not just short-term pumps. Still, with sentiment shifting and dominance falling, it may be the perfect time for investors to start paying closer attention to the altcoin market.
