On the weekly chart, Bitcoin dominance has fallen below a critical support level for the first time in 693 days. Could this give altcoins some breathing room?
The answer is short: yes.
The negative divergence present in the dominance RSI has played out. Additionally, RSI has dropped below the 50-point mark on the weekly chart, which is significant for the continuation of the downtrend. When we analyze ADX DI, we see signals that support the downward trend in dominance. Furthermore, BTC.D has broken the ascending trendline (marked in red), which had persisted for 98 weeks.
As a bonus, our AlphaTrend indicator's ascending trend support is at the 58.50% level. If BTC.D closes below this level, AlphaTrend is set to generate a sell signal for the first time in approximately 123 weeks. The weakening of dominance has already started reflecting positively on altcoins. However, there’s no need to get overly excited yet; we must continue making data-driven decisions.
A decline in dominance alone does not guarantee an altcoin rally. However, the potential end of Bitcoin's market hegemony is a highly positive signal for altcoin investors.
