The latest outlook came from crypto analyst Cryptoinsightuk, who highlighted the current state of the weekly Bollinger Bands indicator on the BTC.D chart as a reason why BTC\u2019s dominance is about to experience a massive crash.<\/p>\n<h2>Weekly Bollinger Bands Flash 2017-Style Setup<\/h2>\n<p>According to CryptoInsightsuk, the current compression and positioning of the Bollinger bands <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Cryptoinsightuk\/status\/2025563576988246276?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">resemble conditions seen in<\/a> March 2017, a period that preceded a rapid decline in Bitcoin dominance and the start of a powerful altcoin rally season.<\/p>\n<p>The weekly candlestick chart shows Bitcoin dominance pressing near the mid-to-upper Bollinger Band region around 59%, with the bands now tightening. In previous cycles, particularly in 2017, a similar band structure led to a high-velocity crash that pushed BTC\u2019s dominance downwards for many weeks. This is visible in the grey zone labelled in the chart below as the \u201cPrevious ALT Season Start Point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-666222\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Bitcoin-chart-from-CryptoInsightsuk.png?w=512&amp;resize=512%2C300\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"512\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p>According to the analyst, this tightening of Bollinger Bands is expected to result in a downward move that pushes the BTC dominance to the mid-30%. This is highlighted in the chart below as a target range between 30% and 35%, with a mid-level of 33.5%.<\/p>\n<h2>Liquidity Rotation And The Altcoin Effect<\/h2>\n<p>Another crypto analyst known as Bird <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Bird_XRPL\/status\/2025565497945972745?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">responded to the analysis<\/a> with a note that charts are pointing to a violent move down in Bitcoin dominance. As noted by the analyst, violent downward moves in BTC.D have always coincided with aggressive liquidity rotation into altcoins. A quick drop in Bitcoin\u2019s market share is due to more capital flowing into the altcoin market than into BTC.<\/p>\n<p>In the analyst\u2019s view, once dominance breaks convincingly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/ethereum\/ethereum-break-out-against-btc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">major cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum<\/a> and XRP will start to gain meaningful market share. Bird specifically noted that XRP may be positioned for a strong move through March and beyond, citing reasons of ongoing infrastructure<a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ripple-global-footprint-expands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \"> development tied to Ripple\u2019s ecosystem.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>That said, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-analyst-on-altcoin-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">predictions of a crash in <\/a>BTC dominance are not new. Market participants have been anticipating the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/rise-in-altcoin-dominance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">start of a full-scale altcoin season<\/a> for the past several months. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-dominance-grows-as-altcoins-post-another-losing-year-analyst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bitcoin\u2019s dominance has held steady<\/a>, even during periods of price crashes. This is because periods of outflows from Bitcoin have always led to corresponding outflows from other cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, Bitcoin is currently at 57.7%, down by 1.34% in the past 24 hours. A breakout above the prior alt-season start zone in the 60% range could invalidate the bearish thesis and extend Bitcoin\u2019s control further into 2026.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/xD74S95w\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"2108\" height=\"1628\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technical analysis of the BTC.D chart is pointing to a tip in balance that might lead to a crash in Bitcoin\u2019s crypto market cap dominance.\u00a0 Analysts on X are pointing to signals on the Bitcoin dominance chart that could precede a sharp downward move, one that could have a massive effect on how liquidity rotates [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3,4,5],"class_list":["post-73740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-crypto","tag-doge","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73740\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dogewisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
