- Analysts predict a sharp drop in Bitcoin dominance next month, signaling the start of a new altseason cycle.
- Altcoins are expected to outperform Bitcoin, driven by reduced dominance and increased investor interest in diverse projects.
- Historical patterns suggest a period of heightened volatility as the crypto market shifts focus from Bitcoin to altcoins.
The cryptocurrency market is expecting a major overhaul as analysts foresee a drop in Bitcoin domination beginning in the next month. This projection correlates with historical volumes noticed around Bitcoin halving periods and may symbolize the start of an alt season stretching to March 2025. In the months to come the markets are expected to go through a further escalation of volatility thus creating a stage for future turbulence in the market for investors and traders.
Bitcoin Dominance Trends and Historical Patterns
Depending on the period, Bitcoin market cap to the entire cryptocurrency market is often referred to as dominance has in the past, dropped significantly during altseason. Taking a look at the chart below it is apparent the dominance weakens after every halving of Bitcoin. Due to the next halving expected around mid-2024, experts expect the subsequent months to show the altcoins gaining substantially more ground than Bitcoin as observed in previous phases of the market.
Moving above 60% is often a sign of weakness and the current indicators indicate that a reversal is inevitable. But as Bitcoin gives up market share, altcoins get more attention and liquidity among investors.
What Altseason Means for the Market
Altseason literally was translated as a time when the world of digital currencies but not only Bitcoin witnesses rapid growth of altcoins’ prices and active trading. In the past, such periods occurred with lower Bitcoin dominance – investors want greater risk/return from smaller assets. That is the reason why it is still possible that late 2023 and early 2024 may well become alguna for altcoin markets.
Some of these drivers include, Bitcoin price growth stabilized as it heads towards resistant levels, DeFi, gaming, and utility tokens continue to garner attention. But the users should be careful because during altseason, coins can experience fluctuations and manipulations by market professionals. Bitcoin price consequently levels off as it approaches the halving phase making investors explore altcoins to fulfill market demand hence competition.
