Dominance
Part d'une cryptomonnaie dans la capitalisation totale du marche.
Dominance is expressed as a percentage and is most commonly referenced for Bitcoin (BTC.D). When Bitcoin dominance rises, it typically means capital is flowing from altcoins into Bitcoin, often interpreted as a risk-off signal within the crypto market.
Ethereum dominance (ETH.D) is the second most watched metric. During DeFi booms or NFT surges, ETH dominance tends to rise as activity on its network increases demand for the native token.
Falling BTC dominance in a rising market often signals the start of an altcoin season, where smaller-cap tokens outperform Bitcoin. This rotation is a well-observed cyclical pattern in crypto market structure.
Dominance shifts reveal capital rotation between Bitcoin and altcoins, helping traders identify market phases and adjust portfolio allocation accordingly.
