- Bitcoin dominance uptrend is breaking.
- Ethereum already trading above $4,000.
- Corporate treasuries are accumulating ETH.
Bitcoin dominance — the percentage of the crypto market ’s value held by BTC — is showing signs of weakness after holding an uptrend since late 2022. The last time Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) broke down, Ethereum soared to its all-time high of $4,900. Now, the pattern is appearing again, with BTC.D slipping from its trendline and Ethereum already above $4,000.
A weakening BTC.D often signals stronger altcoin performance, as traders rotate capital from Bitcoin into other assets. Ethereum, with its deep liquidity and institutional appeal, is usually the first beneficiary.
Ethereum’s Early Lead
Unlike the previous cycle, Ethereum is already showing strength before Bitcoin dominance has fully broken down. At over $4,000, ETH is signaling early bullish momentum. This could be fueled by growing optimism about its network upgrades, Layer 2 scaling, and the increasing use of ETH as a yield-bearing asset through staking.
Institutional interest is also rising. Major corporate treasuries are reportedly adding ETH to their holdings, diversifying away from a BTC-only strategy. This kind of large-scale buying could act as a catalyst for sustained price appreciation.
Is Another All-Time High Coming?
The combination of technical signals and fundamental demand makes a case for a potential retest of Ethereum’s previous high. If Bitcoin dominance continues to decline, liquidity could flood into ETH and other altcoins, amplifying their price action.
While no market move is guaranteed, the similarities to the last major BTC.D breakdown are too significant to ignore. If history rhymes, Ethereum could be on the brink of another explosive rally.
