When it rises, capital flows into BTC at the expense of altcoins, often indicating a \u201crisk-off\u201d approach or a bet on the flagship cryptocurrency as the market\u2019s safe haven.<\/p>\n<p>Rekt Capital\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/rektcapital\/status\/1918016432845054131\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">analysis <\/a>suggested that reclaiming 64% as support could mirror historical patterns where dominance climbed above 70%, a level last seen during Bitcoin\u2019s 2021 bull run. \u201cThe road to 71% continues on successful retest of 64%,\u201d the crypto investor stated.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, in March and April, he outlined how BTC Dominance initially faced stiff resistance near its November 2024 highs before managing a breakthrough in late April. The successful retest of those levels into early May now marks the \u201cfinal leg\u201d of Bitcoin\u2019s primacy, which, in the past, was followed by a sharp decline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBitcoin Dominance is now in the process of positioning itself for what will most likely be its final leg in its Macro Uptrend before a major collapse,\u201d stated the analyst.<\/p>\n<h2>Altcoin Season Incoming?<\/h2>\n<p>The expected reversal often triggers what the crypto community calls an \u201caltcoin season.\u201d During such periods, the rest of the digital asset market tends to outperform BTC, drawing significant investor interest.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, the king cryptocurrency\u2019s share of the market stood at 63.8%, a heartbeat away from 64%. And if Rekt Capital\u2019s prediction holds, then we could see a move to 71% within weeks, potentially setting the stage for a market rotation. \u2018It is the Final Countdown,\u201d the analyst wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s price has been on a sharp rebound since April when it dipped below $75,000. It is currently changing hands at $96,873, up a modest 0.6% in 24 hours and 3.2% over the past week, amid a wave of <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/4-billion-in-2-weeks-bitcoin-whales-go-on-massive-accumulation-spree\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whale buying<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But not everyone is holding.
