- Altcoin dominance forms a double bottom at 9% with bullish divergence, signaling a strong reversal after months of correction.
- Bitcoin dominance sits above 61% in overbought territory, historically preceding major altcoin seasons and capital rotation.
- Oscillator trends and increased volume suggest altcoins are gaining traction as BTC dominance shows signs of topping near 63%.
Altcoins are showing strong signs of life after a prolonged period of correction. The latest altcoin dominance data indicates a double bottom near 9.00%, forming a bullish reversal structure. This movement comes as Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) trades in overbought territory near 61.50%. Historically, such overbought conditions have preceded major altcoin rallies. Crypto analyst Javon Marks eyes a potential breakout in altcoins. The setup mirrors the early phases of previous alt-seasons when capital shifted away from Bitcoin into alternative cryptocurrencies.
Bullish Divergence Forms at Key Support
From July to September 2024, altcoin dominance peaked near 13.50%. After that, it entered a sharp downtrend through early 2025. However, by March 2025, dominance found support around 9.00%. A double bottom formed at that zone, signaling exhaustion in the downtrend. Moreover, oscillator readings created a Class A bullish divergence. While dominance made lower lows, the oscillator had higher lows. This pattern typically precedes strong reversal phases.

Consequently, April and May 2025 brought stabilization. The dominance chart also broke above short-term resistance levels, hinting at a fresh uptrend. Additionally, volume increased during the bottom, suggesting rising accumulation.
Bitcoin Dominance Stalls as Altcoin Season Nears
On the other hand, Bitcoin dominance remains elevated, trading above 61%. Each previous rally into overbought zones sparked altcoin seasons. The oscillator also shows historical turning points during such conditions. Notably, the red arrows on the long-term BTC.D chart align with major altcoin rallies.
Hence, a pullback in Bitcoin’s dominance could soon trigger capital inflow into altcoins. Historically, these shifts occur in three-to-four-year cycles. The last alt-season began in 2021 when BTC.D fell from 73% to 40%.

Current positioning mirrors that cycle. Moreover, BTC dominance has already shown resistance near 63%, indicating possible exhaustion. A decline from these levels could reinforce altcoin momentum.
