I'm seeing a lot of posts claiming "$BTC dominance is about to fall and that means alt season is about to start and you'll make a lot of money." But that’s not how it works... Here’s why!
Do you really think that just because #BTC dominance drops, every altcoin will moon instantly? Sure, there's some correlation—but the harsh truth is: it rarely happens in a clean upward path. Historically, when BTC dominance falls, altcoins often experience initial volatility and corrections before any sustained rally. For example, during the 2021 alt season, BTC dominance fell from ~70% in January to ~40% by May, but many altcoins ( like $XRP and $LINK ) saw multiple -20% dips even during that climb.
Let me explain with an example. Suppose #TRUMP Coin is booming and hits $15 just as BTC dominance drops. Most people buy around that peak—not at the start. Then dominance stalls or BTC reclaims strength, and Trump Coin retraces to $10–12, like we saw in countless tokens during April–June 2021. Now you’re stuck or forced to hold.
Eventually, Trump Coin recovers back to $15—but you’re just breaking even, not making gains. This pattern has repeated over cycles: dominance drops don’t guarantee instant altcoin profits unless you enter early and manage risk. Blindly chasing dips based on dominance can leave you trapped in sideways pain, not profit.
