While Bitcoin Dominance in the Crypto Market Continues Its Steady Rise, One Indicator Is Beginning to Flash Green
May 26, 2025 at 10:00 pm
While Bitcoin's dominance in the crypto market continues its steady rise, one indicator is beginning to flash green for what might come next.
Bitcoin’s dominance in the crypto market continues its steady rise, but one indicator is beginning to flash green for what might come next: the Total crypto market cap excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum has shown a reversal. This suggests that capital might slowly be rotating into altcoins, a classic early sign that an altcoin season could be loading.
Bitcoin’s Historical Patterns Hint at What’s Ahead for Altcoins
Generally, Bitcoin follows a clear pattern during its bull runs. In both the 2017 and 2020-2021 cycles, the asset quickly surges into parabolic rallies after breaking its all-time highs.
Comparing those past cycles to the current one, a major difference stands out: Bitcoin didn’t make its parabolic move yet. Instead, it’s been consolidating around its all-time high level for several months — something that didn’t happen in previous cycles. In past bull markets, this stage was typically brief before prices took off rapidly.
This extended period of sideways movement hints that the current market cycle is behaving differently, and it may be gearing up for something big— both for Bitcoin and for altcoins.

Looking at the Total Market Cap excluding Bitcoin, a clear picture emerges. The market remains in a state of intense compression — a tight range where prices have neither broken out nor crashed. This pattern has been persisting for months, frustrating many traders and investors.
During previous cycles, altcoins didn’t immediately rally after Bitcoin’s breakout. For instance, in December 2020, when Bitcoin was breaking all-time highs, the altcoin market was still far below its previous peak. The real altcoin rally started months later, in early 2021, after Bitcoin reached higher risk levels on technical indicators.
Low Bitcoin Risk Score Suggests Altcoins’ True Rally Yet To Come
At present, Bitcoin’s risk level remains relatively low compared to past bull markets. The Bitcoin Risk Model — which measures market overheating — is sitting at 56, a figure considerably lower than the levels seen in previous explosive rallies. In past cycles, altcoin seasons commenced when Bitcoin’s risk level pushed into the 80s and 90s.
The market may still be in a pre-bull market phase, with altcoins patiently waiting for their turn. Altcoin season hasn’t arrived yet, but multiple signs say it could be loading.

The unusual behavior of Bitcoin’s cycle, anticipated monetary policy shifts, and sustained compression in the altcoin market together suggest that the market is silently preparing for its next phase.
