Bitcoin Dominance Explained. When to buy Alts? BTC domination: how to use it? And when to buy Altcoins?
Today we will talk about Bitcoin Dominance.
What is bitcoin dominance? Why is needed? And why exactly Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is the first and the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
Altcoin is any cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin.
Dominance (BTC.D) displays the relationship between the direction of movement of different cryptocurrencies. To find this index you just need open TradingView and type BTC.D
There are quite a lot of indexes known to you in the world, the most famous of them are:
Dow Jones Industrial Average
S&P 500
RTS
Bitcoin dominance is the ratio of its market capitalization to all other cryptocurrencies.
However, we cannot trade this index.
Pure math: if the capital invested in bitcoin decreases, then part of the funds goes into altcoins.
BTC.D gives an understanding of the general direction of the market at the moment and helps to determine when alt pairs are correlated with the first cryptocurrency.
However, the dominance of Bitcoin is declining as new cryptocurrencies emerge.
Why? Because the capitalization of the alts is increasing much faster than the capitalization of bitcoin.
Bitcoin dominance often depends on the altcoin season
Altseason is a period during which altcoins gain a significant market share relative to Bitcoin, thus reducing the dominance of Bitcoin.
Note, however, that Bitcoin dominance does not always depend on the phase of the market.
What does it mean?
This means that if bitcoin falls in price, and with it the alts, then the dominance of bitcoin will remain approximately at the same level.
I prepared this cheat list by which you can determine the further movement of alts, depending on the Dominance of Bitcoin
You can always use it! Bitcoin dominance also can be used even on lower timeframes but it’s not a magic pill and you should understand some alts follow more btc some less. Thats why you can see situations when bitcoin going down and some alts with low cap can pump 100% in a few days.
Bitcoin dominance is just a tool that can give us more information about the state of the current market, and its possible future. On the Bitcoin Dominance chart, technical analysis works well, its help you to try predict the movement of the Bitcoin price relative to other alts.

Head and Shoulder and Inverse Head and Shoulder differencehello dear traders,
Here are some educational chart patterns that you must know in 2022 and 2025.
I hope you find this information educational and informative.
We are new here so we ask you to support our views with your likes and comments,
Feel free to ask any questions in the comments, and we'll try to answer them all, folks.
What is the head and shoulders pattern:-
The head and shoulders pattern is used in technical analysis. This is a typical chart formation that predicts a bullish-to-bearish trend reversal. The pattern appears as a baseline with three peaks, where the outer two are close in height, and the middle is the highest.
The head and shoulders pattern is formed when the price of a stock rises to a peak and then retraces to the base of the previous up-move. Then, the price rises above the previous peak to form a "head" and then back to the original base. Finally, the stock price reaches the level of the formation's first peak before turning down again.
The Head and Shoulders pattern is considered to be one of the most reliable trend reversal patterns. It is one of several top patterns that signal with varying degrees of accuracy that an uptrend is nearing its end.
Formation of the pattern:-
Left shoulder: Price rise followed by a price peak, followed by a decline.
Head: Price rise again forming a higher peak.
Right shoulder: A decline occurs once again, followed by a rise to form the right peak,
which is lower than the head.
What Is the Inverse Head and Shoulders Pattern:-
inverse head and shoulders, also called a "head and shoulders bottom", is similar to the standard head and shoulders pattern, but inverted: with the head and shoulders top used to predict reversals in downtrends.
This pattern is identified when the price action of security meets the following characteristics: the price falls into a trough and then rises again; the price falls below the former trough and rises again; Finally, the price falls again but not to the second trough. Once the final trough is formed, the price moves upwards towards the resistance found near the top of the previous trough.
Formation of the pattern:-
Left shoulder: Price declines followed by a price bottom, followed by an increase.
Head: Price declines again forming a lower bottom.
Right shoulder: Price increases once again, then declines to form the right bottom.
Advantages and Disadvantages of the Head and Shoulders Pattern:-
Advantages:-
Experienced traders identify it easily
Defined profit and risk
Big market movements can be profited from
Can be used in all markets
Disadvantages:-
Novice traders may miss it
Large stop loss distances possible
Unfavorable risk-to-reward possible
Advantages Explained:-
Experienced traders identify it easily: The pattern is very recognizable to an experienced trader.
Defined profit and risk: Short and long entry levels and stop distance can be clearly defined with confirmation openings and closings.
Big market movements can be profited from: The timeframe for a head and shoulders pattern is fairly long, so a market can move significantly from entry to close price.
Can be used in all markets: The pattern can be used in forex and stock trading.
Disadvantages Explained:-
Novice traders might miss it: The head and shoulders pattern may not present with a flat neckline; it may be skewed, which can throw off new traders.
Large stop loss distances possible: Large downward movement over long timeframes can result in a large stop distance.
The neckline can appear to move: If the price pulls back, the neckline might be retested, confusing some traders.
Trade with care.

Bitcoin dominance. How does it affect the cryptocurrency market?#BTC #altcoins #dominance #education
▪️Bitcoin dominance index - is an indicator that indicates the ratio of bitcoin capitalization to the capitalization of the entire cryptocurrency market.
▪️How does btc dominance affect the market? - When the dominance of bitcoin falls, altcoins begin to rise - this is called the alt season!
▪️Now the dominance is at its minimum values, which means that it will soon begin to grow! Altcoins will be weak during this period of time. Bitcoin may reach $30,000 and go for a correction. So far, these are my thoughts for the near future!

Using BTC Dominance With Current Bitcoin PriceSome people monitor bitcoin price along with bitcoin dominance to help them make trading decisions. Although they are not iron laws, here are some potential outcomes that various combinations of BTC price and dominance may be indicative of.
1. When the price and dominance of BTC are rising, it could signal a potential bitcoin bull market.
2. When the price of BTC is rising but BTC dominance is falling, it could signal a potential altcoin bull market.
3. When the price of BTC is falling but BTC dominance is rising, it could signal a potential altcoin bear market.
4. When the price and dominance of BTC are falling, it could signal a potential bear trend for the entire crypto market.
5. While these two factors do not imply a definite bull or bear market, historical observations suggest a correlation.
#Bitcoin Dominance Mid-Term Analysis using VPVR IndicatorHello there ladies and gentlemen , BulloTaurus here with some Educational Bitcoin Dominance Chart Analysis.
For the past months we had an amazing bull run so far! Bitcoin broke all previous resistances like there were none of them!
We still didn't saw a massive volume spike on exchanges, mostly because this time we have Institutional Investors join the game that have their own private offers to buy bitcoin what doesn't always show on graphs.
Thanks to VPVR ( Volume Profile Visible Range) indicator that is available only in Premium Plan from TradingView, i can show you something very important again.
We can see that at 67% we have a huge demand zone, this is illustrated perfectly thanks to VPVR.
VPVR displays trading activity over a specified period and plots a histogram on the chart which reveals dominant and significant price levels based on volume and in essence gives a clear indication of Supply or demand at a certain price rather than volume in a certain period.
Traders that use this indicator try to use it as a support or resistance confirmation.
Based on previous HVN (±64%) we might have a dip up to 60% in the next following weeks. HVN = High Volume Nodes or HVN are represented as peaks of volume on VPVR indicator, they usually mean that there was a lot of demand in the market at a specific price. These Nodes form when price spends a great amount of time at a certain price level, usually as a consolidation.
If the price leaves the HVN, like we have right now on CRYPTOCAP:BTC.D chart, we might see the drop that i explained earlier, basically like losing the resistance.
Conclusion
Volume Profile Visible Range is used frequently by professional traders, CRYPTOCAP:BTC.D might not be the best example of how this indicator might work to show all its potential. Personally i expect a dip in Bitcoin Dominance Chart, holiday season might also contribute to this short-mid term down movement.
Trade wisely and don't forget risk management and setting your stop-loss.
I will keep updating this Educational Material with fresh examples and show its full potential.
Peace.
BTC% dominance When is the pump season? The Dragon. ABCD PatternOn the% chart, bitcoin prevails in the cryptocurrency market. I followed a little over a year. All the key movements during this time I predicted. This percentage of bitcoin dominance is very much related to the transfer of altcoins.
Each minor correction and decline in dominance is accompanied by a shot on average 30-50% of altcoins. Some overt fraudulent altcoins with little market capitalization will then be pumped up by a larger percentage. But most continue to "die further."
Therefore, it is very important to use this period in your trade. You also need to work with those altcoins in which there is a “presence” of a major player.
The principle of using BTC% dominance is that the higher the dominance, the greater the “cry of altcoins”. This dominance chart can be used as an indicator for the rise / fall of altcoins.
The real long-awaited long-awaited “altcoin pumping season” will begin only when the bitcoin dominance% is below 62-63%, and there is a clear downward movement, the beginning of which we have after the arrival of the rising wedge.
An increase in dominance above 72-73% will mean the death of the not yet completely “dead altcoins” (complete surrender of the altcoin market).
According to the trading chart of bitcoin dominance. There was an upward wedge (bearish formation) that was broken. Now the Dragon figure is formed, or rather, the target tail of this pattern. The downtrend line (Dragon Ridge) has been broken, now the dominance of% BTC is above it.
It is worth noting that after 3 days, BTC is divided in half. If in the future we will see the development of all target zones of the “Dragon tail”, then the high probability of the formation of a harmonious pattern AB = CD (part of the ascending channel). I showed important pivot zones on the chart.
My past idea is about this analysis tool.
When is the season for altcoin pumps? BTC dominance July 23, 2019.
Soon pump season altcoins? Head and shoulders. Inverted Dragon. Nov 16, 2019
Bitcoin dominance Formation of an ascending wedge before halving Jan 8 2020
Comparison of trends. BTC domination - halving + LTC - halving. Jan 8 2020
Breakdown of the support of the rising wedge. February 6, 2020
The situation is now. As we see, after breaking through the support of the rising wedge, the% dominance began to fall and moved from the rising to a pronounced lateral movement.
About the figure of the Dragon. Read in this training idea:
Dragon figure. Formation. Structure. Target.
here is my trading idea with the potential formation of a dragon figure. Coin BLZ
BLZ (Bluzelle) Dragon. Potential. Channel work 45%
Full take of the target area of the tail of the Dragon + 80%
In this tutorial, you can read about the AB = CD pattern.
Which could potentially form if all of the target areas of the Dragon's tail are taken.
TRAINING + WORK Harmonious drawing ABCD + "Three movements" BAT
Notice how the price behaved on this trading idea.
The downward movement continued, but the support was not confirmed, but made its way.
Therefore, there was no entry point.
It is desirable that this occur in% of BTC dominance. I think the desire is clear. Remember, here the opposite situation is an expression of a downtrend, the better for us. How it will revitalize the altcoin market.
Trading is not an easy path to easy money. It is open to all, but not all of it will pass ..
Elliot wave perspective on bitcoin dominanceHello fellas, we've seen a huge moves on bitcoin in these past few days and in this specific post, I want to do a quick update analysis about the dominance of bitcoin. If you've seen my previous analysis about the correlation between bitcoin dominance and the bitcoin's price, you should know that lately bitcoin's price has a positive correlation with the bitcoin dominance.
Looking at the chart, I use the daily chart which is pretty consistent for the use of swing trader and has a great confirmation whatsoever. Based on EW perspective, I see that the period between September 5th, 2019 - November 12th, 2019 was the A corrective wave in bigger cycle. And with this fact, we can easily see that the A wave has formed a type of Falling wedges or usually known as a leading first wave diagonal. Usually, after this action, we will see the B wave that correct the action of A wave in this market cycle and the B wave could spike to the upside that moves align with the golden pocket zone.
But, other than that, we must consider the 70% level as a strong resistance for this dominance structure. with the price of bitcoin has a potential to touch again $8000 region, I do believe this dominance will have the similar spike as bitcoin has. The higher dominance level of bitcoin means the higher money inflow of the bitcoin and if more money inflow occur on bitcoin, we will see the demand spike comparing with the number of supply of bitcoin which will affect the increase of the price on bitcoin.
