- Bitcoin dominance at 58.23% shows signs of decline, hinting at a potential altcoin surge with $627B poised to shift into the market.
- BTC dominance faces resistance at 60% and could drop to 39%, creating significant growth opportunities for altcoins and small-cap tokens.
- Historical patterns reveal BTC dominance drops in low-volume zones, with altcoins gaining momentum during past market shifts.
Bitcoin's market share is currently at 58.23% and seems to be dropping, which could mean more money moving into altcoins. Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto says Bitcoin’s market share is staying below a key level of 70%, which usually acts as a barrier. This could be a sign that altcoins are about to see a big boost in investments.
Key Zones Shaping BTC Dominance
The Value Area High (VAH), Point of Control (POC), and Value Area Low (VAL) mark crucial levels for BTC dominance. The VAH at 70% serves as the upper resistance zone, while the POC at 50.5% represents the level with the highest trading activity. Meanwhile, the VAL at 39% acts as the lower support zone, historically reached during altcoin booms.
Notably, BTC dominance has fallen sharply in "Vacuum Volume" zones, where trading support is minimal. Past declines in 2017-2018 and 2020-2021 saw dominance drop from 70% to 39% rapidly. Hence, if the current trajectory continues, another similar drop may push dominance toward the VAL zone.

Altcoin Market Poised for Growth
The current BTC market cap of $1.91 trillion could see a 33% decline in dominance. Such a shift translates to $627 billion potentially flowing into altcoins. Moreover, small-cap altcoins may benefit the most, with some coins likely achieving massive returns within weeks.
Additionally, BTC dominance faces resistance near 60%, suggesting possible retracements to lower levels, including the POC at 50.5% and the VAL near 39%. Consequently, the altcoin market could experience significant momentum if dominance breaks below these thresholds.
Strategic Insights
EGRAG Crypto emphasizes the importance of understanding these levels for market positioning. Investors should prepare for potential market volatility as BTC dominance enters critical zones. Besides, historical patterns suggest opportunities for altcoin traders, especially as Bitcoin encounters resistance at higher levels. Significantly, projections also indicate upward targets for BTC dominance near the VAH of 70%. However, the current trend favors altcoin expansion.
