Bitcoin dominance just took a dip below 60%. This ain’t no small thing, it’s the lowest since January, and it’s stirring up memories of those crazy altcoin parties back in 2017 and 2021.
The buzz? Altseason might be knocking louder than ever.
50x altcoin gains?
Bitcoin’s grip on the market has been slipping since late June when Ethereum decided to throw a comeback party, rallying hard and stealing the spotlight.
Bitcoin’s dominance has dropped by a solid 10%, and the talk among the sharpest crypto minds is that if this trend continues and dominance crashes down to about 45% in the next six months, altcoins are gonna explode, like 10x to 50x gains kind of explode.

Yeah, experts say Ethereum, Solana, or Cardano are primed to shine big time while Bitcoin calms down to a slow simmer.
Speaking of Ethereum, this beast has been on a tear, rocketing over 8% to trade at around $4,600 in the time of writing.
Epic! Imagine your colleague at the office suddenly smashing their sales record by almost hitting that big company bonus, all eyes on them while the usual star player, Bitcoin, just plays it cool around $120,000.
Solana’s scooters have raced up 12%, Cardano’s cards are stacking gains at 9%. You love to see it!
Altseason
The best thing is that this isn’t just speculation from the coffee break corner.
The crypto research squad ‘Bull Theory ’ threw in their two sats, the weekly chart for Bitcoin dominance shows clear weakness, signaling a mega altseason might be pending.
XIf Bitcoin’s dominance cracks this week, altcoins will likely explode in all directions.
As always, some cautious voices remind us that while the altseason heat is building, indexes like CoinMarketCap’s altseason meter still hover in the moderate zone.
So yes, the party’s warming up but the dance floor’s not yet packed.
$TOTAL2 is repeating history.
