Altcoins are rocketing, Bitcoin dominance hasn't ‘even sneezed': Analyst
'BTC dominance hasn't even sneezed and Alts are ripping,' crypto analyst Matthew Hyland said in an X post on Friday. Bitcoin reaches new highs on three consecutive days
TradingView shows Bitcoin Dominance is 64.46% at the time of publication, down just 1.53% over the past week, while altcoins saw significant price spikes amid Bitcoin reaching new all-time highs on Wednesday, Thursday, and reaching $118,760 on Friday.
Hyland said, 'What do you think happens if it drops from 65 to 45.'
Analysts have traditionally used Bitcoin Dominance to gauge the timing of altcoin season, with a decline typically seen as a signal that altcoins are gaining market share.
However, while BTC Dominance stayed relatively steady, the recent altcoin surge could signal that fresh capital is flowing into the wider market.
MemeCore (M) leads the top 100 crypto gainers over the past seven days with a 1,263% surge, followed by Mog Coin up 75.01%, and Stellar up 67.43%, according to CoinMarketCap data.
Ether, the second largest crypto by market cap, is up 17.68% over the past seven days, which is often another indicator traders use to determine when the focus is turning from Bitcoin to the broader market. Trader says this will be the 'final easy' Altcoin season
The ETH/BTC ratio, which measures Ether's relative strength against Bitcoin, is up 8.39% over the past seven days.
However, CoinMarketCap's Altcoin Season Index suggests the market is still heavily favoring Bitcoin, with the Index reading a 'Bitcoin Season' score of 29 out of 100.
In an X post on Friday, MN Trading Capital founder Michael van de Poppe said, 'I assume that we're about to witness the final easy and biggest bull ever on Altcoins.'
Meanwhile, Santiment recently said that their metrics indicate that the altcoin season has begun. 'The data confirms that, for now, it has,' Santiment said.
'As long as Bitcoin can maintain its position above the crucial psychological support level of around $110k, traders will likely feel comfortable redistributing profits into altcoins,' they added.

Bitcoin holdings of Saylor's Strategy swell to over $70 billion
14 July 2025 20:40 (BLOOMBERG)The total value of Bitcoin held by Michael Saylor's Strategy has surpassed $73 billion as the cryptocurrency treasury company resumed purchases of the digital asset with prices at an all-time former MicroStrategy Inc. bought 4,225 Bitcoin tokens for $472 million at an average price of $111,827 during the seven days ended July 13, according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on purchase, the latest in a series of almost weekly acquisitions of the cryptocurrency, increased the Tysons Corner, Virginia-based firm's holdings of the digital asset to around $73 billion, or around 2.8% of all the 21 million tokens that will ever be minted. Strategy is the largest corporate owner of Bitcoin and boasts a market capitalization of more than $121 recently pivoted from selling common shares and has been marketing three different offerings of preferred shares through its at-the-market program to fund its Bitcoin purchases. The company raised $472 million from last week's sale of these products, with the majority of it going toward its Bitcoin haul. The stock-like products are able to be traded forever and produce company is set to register a multi-billion dollar quarterly profit when it reports earnings next month due to a rebound in the price of Bitcoin and a fairly recent accounting change related to valuing its massive holdings of the cryptocurrency. This quarter, the company has spent $7.24 billion on Bitcoin over 13 separate purchases, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Strategy's shares have soared over 3,300% since Saylor began buying Bitcoin in the middle of 2020 as a hedge against inflation. Bitcoin is up more than 1,000% during the same period, while the S&P 500 has increased around 115%. The original cryptocurrency hit an all-time high of $123,000 before paring back gains on Monday. It is now trading at $121,696 as of 10:11 am in New York.

Bitcoin surge signals cryptocurrencies going mainstream
The new all-time high that Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, hit on Monday signals a long-term structural shift in how digital assets are integrated into the global financial system, analysts say. According to Reuters data, Bitcoin scaled a record high of $123,153.22 before pulling back slightly to trade 2.4 per cent higher around $122,000. Starting on Monday, the US House of Representatives have started to debate a series of bills to provide the digital asset industry with the nation's regulatory framework it has long demanded. 'The surge in bitcoin, which is up 29 per cent for the year thus far, has sparked a broader rally across other cryptocurrencies over the past few weeks even in the face of Trump's chaotic tariffs,' said Vijay Valecha, Chief Investment Officer, Century Financial. Ether, the second-largest token, scaled an over five-month top of $3,048.23 on Monday and last stood at $3,036.24. The sector's total market value has swelled to about $3.78 trillion. 'As adoption deepens and infrastructure improves, we expect continued momentum and stronger collaboration between crypto-native platforms and traditional financial institutions,' Lennix Lai, Chief Commercial Officer, OKX, told Khaleej Times. Bitcoin's breakout above $120,000 marks a pivotal shift, fuelled by pro-crypto sentiment from the Trump campaign, strong ETF inflows, and increasing corporate treasury allocations. These drivers signal a sustained bullish trend heading into Q3 2025, with BTC projected to average around $125,000. Analysts expect a trading range of $105,000 to $150,000, with key levels at $108,500 support and $130,000 resistance serving as critical markers for momentum confirmation, analysts say. Ethereum is also gaining strength, currently trading between $2,800 and $3,000, supported by continued ETF demand, the upcoming Pectra upgrade, and expanding DeFi activity. ETH is forecasted to average $3,800 in Q3, with upside potential toward $5,000 if it can clear the $3,700 resistance. However, downside risks remain: a Bitcoin correction or shifting regulatory landscape could push ETH back to $2,700. 'Long-term fundamentals remain solid, bolstered by 34.6 million ETH staked and rising institutional interest, though volatility and competitive pressure from chains like Solana warrant a cautious approach. Traders should prepare for 10–30 per cent swings and monitor macroeconomic developments closely,' Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget Research, told Khaleej Times. While investor interest continues to grow, the most significant catalysts for this milestone have been the record inflows into regulated Bitcoin ETFs, the passing of favorable legislation in key markets, and the rising adoption of stablecoins as a foundational layer for capital mobility across the digital asset ecosystem. 'As traditional asset classes experience shifts in performance, more investors are turning to Bitcoin, stablecoins, and gold as long-term value stores and diversification tools, with Bitcoin now perceived as a long-term strategic reserve within both the retail and institutional sectors, as well as to central banks,' Lai said. The introduction of regulated ETFs has opened the door to new capital from institutional investors, while progressive legislation has enhanced trust and reduced barriers to entry. 'At the same time, stablecoins are playing a critical role in facilitating real-time access to markets, enabling frictionless transitions between fiat and crypto, and amplifying liquidity across exchanges. These forces combined are not only fueling price appreciation but are accelerating the broader institutionalization of crypto,' Lai added. Devika Mittal, Regional Head at Ava Labs, stressed that the bouquet of legislation being debated at the US Congress is expected to bring some much-needed structure to the Wild West of digital assets. 'It's a bold move that demonstrates how far we've come from the days when cryptocurrency was viewed as a fringe investment. The timing couldn't be better, as countries like Vietnam are starting to embrace crypto themselves, following America's lead in the global digital economy. Wall Street's big players have been waiting on the sidelines for clearer rules, and these bills could finally give them the confidence to dive in,' she said. But it's not just about attracting big money - there's real attention being paid to protecting everyday investors from scams and sketchy practices. 'What's really striking is how the conversation in the US has evolved. Instead of treating crypto with suspicion, lawmakers are now actively working to help the industry thrive while keeping it transparent. It's a remarkable turnaround that could reshape our understanding of digital assets and blockchain,' Mittal said. Some analysts sound a note of cautioned over the current market euphoria. Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, India's second-longest running digital asset exchange, noted that the crypto fear and greed index currently stands at 70, indicating that the market is overheated and due for a correction. 'However, single day inflow into crypto funds on July 11 (latest recorded data) stood at a staggering $1.23 billion, out of which, Bitcoin ETFs contributed nearly $1.03 billion. This massive inflow of institutional money coupled with euphoria around the US 'Crypto Week', which kicks off today, is driving the current crypto rally,' he added.
