Bitcoin dominance fell from 65% to 59% in just two months
Investors are speculating on an upcoming altcoin rally
Historical trends suggest altseason may be near
In the crypto world, Bitcoin dominance—its share of the total crypto market cap—is a crucial metric. Over the past two months, this dominance has slid from 65% to 59%, a substantial shift that has many investors asking: is altseason about to begin?
When Bitcoin dominance falls, it usually means that altcoins (all cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin) are gaining traction. Historically, such a decline often leads to a surge in altcoin prices, commonly referred to as “altseason.”
What’s Driving the Decline in Dominance?
Several factors may be behind this dip in Bitcoin’s market share. First, Ethereum and other major altcoins have been rallying on the back of new tech developments, partnerships, and increased DeFi activity. Additionally, narratives around AI tokens, Layer 2 networks, and gaming cryptos have drawn attention away from Bitcoin.
Another contributor is investor diversification. With Bitcoin holding steady or consolidating, traders and institutions may be rotating profits into altcoins in search of higher returns.
ALTSEASON SIGNALS?

Is Altseason Really Here?
While a Bitcoin dominance drop is a common altseason indicator, it’s not a guarantee. Timing can vary, and sometimes the shift is temporary. However, the sustained nature of this recent decline—over 2 months—adds weight to the theory that a broader altcoin rally could be in the works.
Crypto enthusiasts and traders are now closely watching Ethereum’s performance and key support/resistance levels across top altcoins. If momentum continues and dominance slips further, we may see explosive moves across the altcoin market.
