Bitcoin's grip on market dominance is loosening. The downtrend we're seeing right now? That's the green light altcoins have been waiting for.

When BTC dominance contracts, capital typically rotates into the broader altcoin ecosystem. This shift creates opportunities across different layers—from Layer 1 solutions to emerging DeFi protocols and utility tokens.

If this pattern holds, we should watch for increased volume and volatility in alt markets over the coming weeks.

I've been through it all. In 2018, it was said the same way, and what was the result? A bunch of Layer1 projects ran away, DeFi protocol smart contracts exploded, and new retail investors lost everything. Does a decline in BTC dominance mean altcoins have a chance? Wake up, this is the biggest pie the project teams love to draw. Isn't every capital rotation just moving funds around to harvest retail investors? Have you looked into the contract risks? Wait and see, don't rush to all-in. The bear market lessons are learned this way.

BTC is no longer able to move up; now it's time for small coins to turn things around, right?

The moment Bitcoin lets go, the altcoins rush out. This rotation pattern has been played out, but some still believe it. --- Is it this again? Every time BTC is in a slump, they talk about rotation. But guess what, altcoins still fall along with it. --- Wait, are you saying this time it's really coming? Or do I have to be fooled again into investing in Layer1 to heal my psychological wounds? --- Laughing until crying, I can recite this capital rotation script by heart. Will the next episode still be losing money? --- Data speaks, but my wallet speaks even louder. It's already hardened. --- Wow, this is the usual operation in the leek farmer's diary. Looking forward to it.
