But according to analyst Ash Crypto, this consolidation has <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AshCrypto\/status\/2034142313149088059?s=20\">created<\/a> a technical setup where a break above 60% could send dominance up to 63% or 64%.<\/p>\n<p>And if that happened, it would mean that institutions are only buying Bitcoin, causing altcoins to bleed further and pushing the value of the ETH\/BTC pair to new lows.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, a break below 58% would mean that capital is leaving Bitcoin and going into Ethereum and other altcoins. The analysts said that this would confirm an ETH\/BTC breakout above the 0.0320 level, which would mark the start of a genuine altcoin season.<\/p>\n<p>The ETH\/BTC pair itself is printing what Ash Crypto described as a bear trap, something it has done twice before.<\/p>\n<div>\u201cBreak above 0.0320 and ETH starts outperforming Bitcoin,\u201d the expert wrote. \u201cBreak below 0.0280 and new lows follow.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>At the time of writing, ETH\/BTC was trading close to 0.0314, just below the critical threshold Ash Crypto had identified.<\/p>\n<h2>Ethereum\u2019s Technical Picture Gets Interesting<\/h2>\n<p>BTC itself has been mostly flat over the past 24 hours, staying just above $74,000 after <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-surges-to-six-week-high-as-bulls-eye-80k\/\">hitting<\/a> a six-week high of about $76,000 on Coinbase on Tuesday. However, there\u2019s much more action over longer periods, with the asset up more than 6% in the last seven days and about 8% across 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>Ethereum has had a pretty good performance in the last few weeks, going up about 14% in the last seven days and about 18% in both the last 14 and 30 days. At the time of writing, it was trading above the $2,300 level, up 22% from the same time last year, compared to BTC\u2019s nearly 11% drop in the same period.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, ETH\u2019s SuperTrend indicator <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/the-ultimate-bull-signal-why-eths-chart-just-flipped-to-buy-for-the-first-time-since-september\/\">changed<\/a> from \u201cSell\u201d to \u201cBuy\u201d for the first time since September 2025. Recall, the last two times that signal showed up, the cryptocurrency rose by 52% and 174%, respectively, prompting analyst Ali Martinez to identify $2,400 and $2,600 as the next levels to watch.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/analyst-warns-btc-dominance-break-will-dictate-whether-alts-explode-or-collapse\/\">Analyst Warns BTC Dominance Break Will Dictate Whether Alts Explode or Collapse<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s market share is stuck between 58% and 60%, which is a six-month trading range that one expert says will decide whether Ethereum and smaller altcoins enter a bullish season or suffer more losses.
