How to read it
Rising dominance usually means BTC is outperforming or the market is de-risking into it. Falling dominance often signals capital moving into altcoins — the "alt season" setup. Read it alongside total market cap: dominance up while total cap is flat is a rotation, not necessarily new money.

FAQ
- What is Bitcoin dominance?
- Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) is BTC's market cap as a percentage of the entire crypto market's cap. When it rises, capital is rotating into BTC. When it falls, capital is rotating into altcoins.
- What is a high or low dominance level?
- There's no fixed threshold. Historically, dominance under ~40% has often marked strong alt seasons; above ~60% has often marked BTC-led markets. Ranges shift as the market changes.
- How is it calculated?
- BTC market cap ÷ total crypto market cap × 100. Both figures come from CoinGecko's global aggregate.
