#TradeStories Bitcoin dominance slips in three-day feedback loop, raising odds of short-term altcoin rotation

As of Saturday, May 10, BTC dominance (BTC.D) had fallen to 60.2% from its high of 62.1% just three days prior.

BTC.D measures the market capitalization of Bitcoin, using the current Bitcoin price, relative to the total market capitalization of all crypto assets. The steep decline in BTC.D from 62.1 % to 60.2 % between May 7 and May 10 lined up perfectly with the three‑day window of notable price spikes and outsized, altcoin‑heavy liquidations mentioned earlier in the newsletter.

Historically, a pullback of this size in BTC.D over such a short window has often preceded brief "alt‑season" windows, as traders rotate into higher‑beta assets.
