Is Altcoin Season Finally Here? Bitcoin Dominance Faces Critical Test
As the crypto market continues to navigate the unpredictable waters of 2025, many investors are left wondering if we’re on the cusp of an altcoin season. The recent performance of various digital assets has sparked heated debates about a potential shift in dominance away from Bitcoin (BTC). According to Trader Edge X, Bitcoin’s dominance is currently testing key resistance around 58-65%, historically marking the start of new altcoin seasons.
Intriguingly, altcoin dominance charts display bullish divergences. The relative strength index (RSI) and moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicators have formed higher lows despite price actions displaying lower lows. CoreCrypto predicts a potential 36.91% drop in Bitcoin dominance to the 42-45% range if this resistance trendline breaks.
Notably, Ethereum’s (ETH) recent strength relative to Bitcoin often signals the start of an altcoin season. As seen on the ETHBTC chart, any breakdown from its current wedge pattern would likely result in capital rotation from Bitcoin into altcoins.
