Bitcoin Dominance: The Final Rotation Continues

Bitcoin dominance is in a significant upward trend, having formed a low in September and showing sustained green weeks, indicating a 'final rotation' where Bitcoin outperforms altcoins.

• Bitcoin dominance is in a sustained upward rotation since a September low.

• Altcoin investing requires precise timing due to volatility and underperformance against Bitcoin.

• Focus on Bitcoin as the core asset due to altcoins' inherent risks and infinite supply.

Bitcoin dominance has been rising for six consecutive weeks since forming a low in September, signaling a 'final rotation' where Bitcoin is poised to skyrocket higher, especially upon breaching the 60% mark again. The future trajectory of Bitcoin dominance and its potential for a higher high against altcoins ultimately depends on the ETH/Bitcoin valuation, though a higher low for Bitcoin dominance this cycle is anticipated. This trend highlights the importance of timing in the volatile altcoin market, where many investors struggle to break even against their Bitcoin holdings.

Bitcoin Dominance Trend

• 00:00:40 Bitcoin dominance found a low the week of September 8th and has been green for six consecutive weeks, signifying an ongoing upward rotation. While the ascent might not be as rapid as some expect, it is happening, with a significant surge anticipated once dominance breaches 60% again. The initial breach of 60% observed weeks prior, despite being dismissed by some as a mere 'wick,' indicates the direction Bitcoin dominance aims to go, preparing the market for this shift.

ETH/Bitcoin Valuation Impact

• 00:02:50 The extent to which Bitcoin dominance can reach a new high hinges on how low the ETH/Bitcoin valuation goes. Although altcoin-Bitcoin pairs have generally set lower lows, ETH/Bitcoin potentially forming a higher low has prevented Bitcoin dominance from immediately establishing a higher high. Despite this, a higher low for Bitcoin dominance this cycle remains a distinct possibility, and the market should be open-minded to dominance returning near previous highs.

Market Sentiment & Altcoins

• 00:04:26 There is a persistent cycle where predictions of rising Bitcoin dominance are often met with denial from 'influencers' who promote micro-cap altcoins. When Bitcoin dominance does surge, and altcoin-Bitcoin pairs decline, these promoters often react emotionally or play the victim. It is crucial for market participants to understand the inherent risks of 'penny stock equivalent' altcoins and not to blame those who accurately predict market movements when speculative investments do not pan out.

Importance of Bitcoin

• 00:09:28 Timing is critical when investing in altcoins, unlike in low-expense ratio index funds, because altcoins often bleed against Bitcoin over time, making it difficult for investors to even break even. Bitcoin is presented as the foundational asset of the cryptoverse, with altcoins' survival dependent on Bitcoin's. There is only one Bitcoin, providing a stable common ground, while the infinite number of altcoins means liquidity will continue to flow towards Bitcoin, 'the king.'
