Bitcoin Dominance Warning? Alts About To Collapse? Deep Dive Into Crypto

Bitcoin dominance is flashing a warning signal that could spell major trouble for altcoins, and it could pull Bitcoin back toward $70,000 along the way. In this video, Gareth Soloway, Chief Market Strategist at VerifiedInvesting.com, explains why the Bitcoin chart still holds a bullish consolidation pattern while the charts around it tell a more cautious story.

Gareth starts with the Bitcoin breakout and the second bull flag forming above it. He explains why the higher high still has him convinced the cycle low is in. Then he lays out two concerns. The first is a trend line drawn off the lows of the prior flag patterns, which pinpointed the recent top. The second is a sideways, choppy zone full of buyers who got crushed twice and are now close to break even.

The biggest signal comes from the Bitcoin dominance chart (BTC.D). Gareth covers three things:

1. what dominance actually measures
2. why it usually rises when Bitcoin dips a little and altcoins drop a lot
3. why its breakout above a long descending trend line, followed by a retest at the scene of the crime, points to another leg higher

He then runs the math. A 10% Bitcoin pullback puts price in the mid-$70,000s and could mean 30% to 40% drops in altcoins. A 20% pullback could cut altcoins in half.

Gareth closes with the level that matters most. A daily close below $81,000, the base plate, would signal that the bull flag is failing. He also shares that he is almost entirely in cash, holding one remaining Chainlink short with a break-even stop.
