- Dominance of BTC, ETH, and stables is retesting broken support, similar to the 2021 pre-altseason structure.
- A full breakdown below the 74% dominance level could trigger major capital rotation into altcoins.
- Current setup mirrors 2021 conditions, where altcoins outperformed following the failure of the dominance retest.
Crypto dominance data shows Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoin capital nearing a crucial breakdown. The same structure preceded the 2021 altseason, raising expectations of a similar market rotation now.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Stablecoin Dominance at Crucial Support Level
The combined dominance of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins now sits at a vital decision point. This measure tracks where capital is parked within the crypto market.
As of writing, BTC trades at $116,327, up 1.92% over 24 hours, while ETH trades at $3,832.45, up 6.55% in the same period. Despite the gains, total dominance remains stuck just above the 74% threshold—a level that has historically held as temporary support.
In a tweet by CrypFlow, the analyst noted: “Capital rotation: The pattern is repeating… Dominance rallied, broke down, bounced off 74%, and retested the trendline.” This retest mirrors the 2021 structure that preceded one of the largest altcoin rallies of that cycle.
Retest of Broken Trendline Suggests Imminent Capital Rotation
The chart displays a multi-step sequence: dominance climbs, breaks trendline support, rebounds at 74%, then retests the broken trendline. This exact sequence unfolded in 2021 before a sharp capital shift into altcoins.
According to CrypFlow, the crypto market is now at the final stage before a potential breakdown. Should dominance fall below 74%, capital could exit BTC, ETH, and stables in favor of high-risk altcoins.
This behavior suggests increasing investor appetite for risk. If history follows the same trajectory, altcoins may enter a high-reward phase in the weeks ahead.
Technical Structure Aligns with Previous Altseason Setup
The resemblance to the 2021 cycle is pronounced. In that year, dominance peaked in January, broke trendline support, bounced, and retested. That failed retest in May 2021 was the trigger for a massive altcoin surge.
Now, in 2025, dominance has followed the same structural path. With the failed retest confirmed, only a full breakdown remains to complete the pattern. Market watchers believe this could usher in a new wave of altcoin outperformance.
Crypto investors are closely monitoring dominance metrics, aware that timing capital rotation can offer substantial upside during cycle transitions.
