TL;DR<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s dominance climbs off key support, hinting at renewed strength into September and October.
\nAltcoins may underperform as Ethereum-led rallies show signs of topping out this quarter.
\nAnalysts expect Bitcoin to regain control as liquidity exits altcoins in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Dominance Rebounds After Trendline Support<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s share of the crypto market has started to rise again. The Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) index recently bounced off a key trendline that\u2019s held firm since early 2023. It now sits above 58%, following weeks of decline. This rebound may signal the end of altcoins\u2019 recent run.<\/p>\n

1 week warning<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Dominance is likely going to move higher in Sep\/Oct.<\/p>\n

As noted in the post below, ALTs tend to find tops against BTC in late August.<\/p>\n

Benjamin Cowen, founder of Into The Cryptoverse, issued a warning last week. He expects Bitcoin dominance to climb higher through September and October as altcoins often peak against BTC in late August.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiquidity will flow back to the king,\u201d he wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Cowen pointed out that several previous summers showed similar patterns. Altcoin rallies often peak around late August, then lose strength<\/a> as money shifts back into Bitcoin heading into the final quarter of the year. He reminded traders,<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are riding ALTs right now like the last few summers, just remember that the tides will likely turn a little later in Q3.\u201d<\/p>\n

His chart suggests a possible rise in BTC dominance toward the 61\u201363% range. This shift would likely come at the expense of altcoins, which could underperform during this period. The focus appears to be moving back to Bitcoin, particularly if ETH, which has led the latest altcoin push, starts to fade.<\/p>\n

Analysts Cautious on Short-Term Moves<\/h2>\n

A crypto market watcher said<\/a> Bitcoin dominance could still drop to 52%, but not right away. \u201cIf it goes to 52%, I don\u2019t think it will happen until much later in the year,\u201d<\/em> Cowen replied. He acknowledged that while shorter timeframes may show BTC.D as overbought, the longer-term charts suggest there\u2019s room to move higher.<\/p>\n

Cowen added<\/a> that the current rotation into altcoins seems to be driven mainly by Ethereum\u2019s rally. He expects ETH to face resistance soon, which could trigger another upward leg in BTC dominance lasting through September and October.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Price Holds, but Market Watches Key Level<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin was trading at $113,000 at press time, with a daily gain of 1%, though still down 1% over the past week. Market veteran Peter Brandt commented<\/a> on a large weekend sell order, saying it could represent market supply. \u201cTops in markets are created by SUPPLY or DISTRIBUTION,\u201d he said, adding that BTC needs to reclaim $117,570 to avoid forming a potential double top.<\/p>\n

While Brandt made it clear he wasn\u2019t taking a side, he urged traders not to ignore<\/a> the signal. With Bitcoin dominance rising and altcoins showing signs of slowing, the coming weeks may mark a shift in market direction.<\/p>\n
