Bitcoin’s dominance metric (BTC.D) has reached a critical technical level at 64%, potentially signaling a major shift in market dynamics that could trigger the next altcoin season. As Bitcoin continues to defend the $105,500 support level, market participants are closely monitoring emerging patterns that could reshape the crypto landscape.
Technical Analysis Points to Possible BTC.D Reversal
According to certified Level III CMT analyst Tony “The Bull” Severino, the Bitcoin dominance chart is showing significant technical warning signs at the 64% threshold. The formation of a Doji candlestick at a previous Falling Window support zone suggests the potential for a meaningful reversal in Bitcoin’s market dominance.
Key technical indicators include:
- Monthly Doji formation at critical resistance
- RSI readings above 70 indicating overbought conditions
- Potential Evening Star pattern formation
- Critical 62% support level to watch
