Bitcoin Dominance falls to 60.57%, despite new ATH for BTC.
Ethereum and altcoins are gaining market share as Bitcoin’s dominance decreases.
Bitcoin's price is within a growth zone, suggesting room for continued upward movement.
Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D), which measures BTC’s market share relative to the overall cryptocurrency market, has recently shown a noticeable decline. As of mid-2025, the BTC dominance rate stands at 60.57%, a drop from higher levels seen earlier. Despite Bitcoin’s price reaching new all-time highs (ATHs), this decrease in dominance contradicts the common assumption that Bitcoin must drop in price for other assets to rise.
The Rise of Ethereum and Altcoins
A review by Crypto Prediction revealed that while Bitcoin continues to achieve new price milestones, Ethereum and other altcoins have seen an increase in their market capitalizations. This has led to a shift where the altcoin market is gaining ground despite BTC’s continued strength. The rise in the market cap of Ethereum and altcoins indicates that investor interest is expanding beyond BTC.

The projected state of the market at the moment indicates that both BTC and altcoins, especially Ethereum, can achieve further rise, with the latter retaining or even expanding their market segments. This has been against predictions that the altcoins could only do well when there was a fall in the price of Bitcoin. The rise in the price of BTC is no longer directly related to its dominance. Rather, the same can happen that the market is capable of sustaining both Bitcoin and the altcoin market as observed in recent trends.
Bitcoin Price Movement and Market Confidence
Tracking the ongoing market action, BTC is currently priced at $117,000, positioning itself within a key growth zone. The price now reads between the Investor Price Median of $92,000 and the Hype Alert level at $139,000. This reveals an ongoing buying activity, with market participants showing confidence as long as the price stays within this range.

The BTC Investor Price Model identifies important levels to watch. The Sell Level is marked at $162,000, while the Buy Level is set at $44,000. These levels define the potential market sentiment shifts. A move towards the Sell Level could indicate selling pressure, while the Buy Level represents a point where buyers tend to step in.
The current price of BTC is not yet at Hype Alert value of the $139,000. This shows that the market is not yet in an over optimistic stage. The model indicates that there is space left that Bitcoin can grow without being likely to overheat implying that there is a stable and healthy market environment. Since BTC keeps above the Investor Price Median, the players on the market still exhibit suits. As long as BTC remains above this median, the confidence in the market is expected to persist.
