Timing the Crypto Market

Bitcoin dominance measures the percentage of the total crypto market cap held in Bitcoin. As crypto investors, it’s one of the most valuable indices we can use to time market cycles. My personal strategy, proven over years of investing, is straightforward:

When Bitcoin dominance is high, I start accumulating altcoins.

When Bitcoin dominance is low, especially around the 42% zone, I take profits on altcoins.

This simple principle has helped me consistently enter and exit the market at the right moments.

Looking at the current Bitcoin dominance chart, we’re still sitting around 59%. This means a large portion of market capital is still concentrated in Bitcoin, and the significant money flow into small-cap altcoins hasn’t begun yet. In other words, altseason is just getting started.

For now, patience is key. The bigger moves in altcoins are likely ahead as capital rotates out of Bitcoin and into the broader market.
