The month of April saw bitcoin dominance plummet lower. With BTC basically being flat for the month (down roughly 1K) and alts like ETH, BNB and others pushing higher the drop in dominance was precipitous.
Through the 2017/2018 Pivot Point and Below..
Next Stop All Time Low?
Looking at the chart you can see the line drawn at the 49 area. If you look to the left you will see BTC dominance bounced off that level several times in late 2017 before breaking below right at the end of the year.
After touching the all time low, which was quite the move from the 70s almost straight down to 36 the index bounced back to that 49 area before running out of steam and pushing lower again.
At that point it was halfway through the 2018 bear market and BTC dominance began to climb once again, eventually back to the all time highs.
The kick off of 2021 saw BTC dominance hit its peaks and it has been dropping ever since.
Based on the chart, there is no reason to think we won't see the index hit the 40 area and then potential the all time lows.
Many people think at some point there will be even a further low as alts like ETH catchup in market cap to BTC.
That very well may be the case, however I would be surprised if we didn't see the index get a short-term bounce sometime in the coming weeks as the drop has been aggressive and the 10 day moving average is trailing far behind.
Whether that means BTC will push up for a bit or alts will pullback is anyone's guess, but I personally am rooting for a pump in BTC price as that would bode better for the current bull market continuing for a while.
As I always say, we shall see what happens!

What that sounds like?
Altcoins season. The dominance has been falling and will continue to fall until like something around 30% in mid summer imo. If you check crypto twitter, many don't even post that much about BTC. The most pumps are also recorded on alts.

Indeed. We shall see how long this alt season lasts

No wonder BTC looked like its consolidating for a while now, and some shitcoins starts to pump up.

Yup, I will take btc consolidating all day as opposed to it going down and dominance dropping for that reason.

I was trying to explain to my worker the other day about the potential flippening and what it would look like and how it might work. He was a bit in awe of the whole thing I think. It has been pretty crazy seeing how fast the market cap of ETH has grown. I remember just a short time ago it was sitting around 100 to 200 billion and I was thinking man it has a long way to go to overtake BTC. :)

Yeah, eth has been crazy of late

Man, I've been waiting for altcoin season for years now! I do wish that people will stick with their selling plan and not let greed takeover. It would be a shame if a lot of people would be left hanging.

In the end there will be bagholders, sadly. Some people just never book any gains

While many are calling for alt coin season I have to say Bitcoin is kind of crap when you look at it compared to hundreds of other projects going on right now. It's mad slow, it has high fees and the only real thing it has going for it currently is it's value and that it's been battle tested the longest as being secure. I firmly believe that Bitcoin will eventually be replaced by something else. It could be Ethereum but we are going to have to see how things go over the next year possibly two.
