CRYPTO GOES 'TETHERED & CIRCLED' AMID THE PERDITION OF BTC BULLSThe recent 'Tethering and Circling' of crypto assets amid the downturn of Bitcoin (BTC) bulls can be explained by several interconnected factors rooted in market dynamics, investor behavior, and regulatory pressures.
As BTC bulls face setbacks in sustaining their upward momentum in 2025, the crypto market as a whole tends to become more tethered and circled around stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and Circle's USD Coin (USDC).
This shift is due to the need for stability, liquidity, and risk mitigation in an environment of uncertainty.
Role of Stablecoins Amid BTC Bear Pressure
Stablecoins like Tether and Circle have become dominant anchors in the crypto ecosystem, controlling over 80% of the global stablecoin market capitalization. Their foundational role is to provide a stable medium of exchange and store of value pegged to fiat currencies, predominantly the US dollar. As Bitcoin bulls lose steam and volatility spikes, investors and traders increasingly move their capital into these stablecoins to avoid the sudden price swings of BTC and altcoins. This creates a "tethering" effect where a large portion of liquidity is parked in stablecoins, allowing market participants to quickly enter or exit positions while minimizing exposure to risk. Stablecoins thereby act as a safe haven within the crypto market during periods of bearish sentiment or market correction.
Market Sentiment and BTC Cycle Influences
The 2025 Bitcoin cycle differs significantly from previous bull runs seen in 2021. Analysts suggest the true peak of Bitcoin’s cycle was back in April 2021, and since then the market has entered a phase characterized by cautious consolidation rather than explosive growth. Key macroeconomic indicators such as inflation trends, Federal Reserve rate policies, and quantitative tightening play substantial roles in shaping this slower, more measured market behavior. With BTC showing signs of a shallow bear phase and mixed momentum, investors' confidence is dented, pushing them towards safer crypto assets like stablecoins and highly liquid tokens.
Increased Regulatory and Competitive Pressures
The crypto market environment in 2025 is also shaped by growing regulatory scrutiny, especially around stablecoins themselves. Regulations in regions such as the EU have introduced frameworks like MiCA, impacting how stablecoin issuers operate. Tether, for instance, has responded cautiously to some regulatory moves, even choosing not to comply with certain restrictive regulations, leading to delisting from some centralized exchanges and challenges in maintaining its dominance.
Meanwhile, Circle’s USDC has been slightly less affected due to wider regulatory acceptance but still faces limitations on certain yield-generating activities. These regulatory pressures influence market dynamics, prompting crypto participants to actively circle around the most trusted and compliant stablecoin options to secure their holdings.
Market Dynamics of Crypto Herd Behavior
Moreover, cryptocurrencies tend to move together due to their correlated trading patterns. Large market movements in BTC often trigger cascading effects in altcoins and other digital assets. When BTC bulls falter, a wave of stop-loss liquidations occurs, leading traders to sell off altcoins and consolidate holdings into stablecoins or less volatile crypto instruments. This communal movement is amplified by the relatively smaller market caps of altcoins compared to BTC and the 24/7 nature of crypto trading, intensifying the tethering phenomenon as market participants seek to safeguard their assets and maintain liquidity.
Technical challenge
The main technical chart is a sum of USDT and USDC dominance; they both in nowadays represent more then 80 percent of all stablecoins market cap.
Long term upside trend is still looks robust, with a potential of Bull extension due to 200-week simple moving average brekthrough.
In summary, the crypto market's increasing tethering and circling around stablecoins amid the recent bearish phase of BTC bulls in 2025 is mainly due to the need for stability during heightened volatility, the maturation and changing cycle of Bitcoin, regulatory developments around stablecoins, and the inherent herd behavior in crypto trading. This dynamic ensures that stablecoins remain central hubs in the crypto economy as investors navigate uncertain market conditions.
USDT.D Weekly – Major Resistance Rejection for Risk AssetsUSDT Dominance (USDT.D) pushed into the 0.786 Fibonacci resistance zone (~8.2%) after breaking the long-term descending trendline.
This remains a high-timeframe confluence area, previous reactions, structural resistance, and a macro decision level for risk assets.
Over the past weeks we’ve now seen multiple rejections from this zone, including a large upper wick, suggesting that dominance attempted to move higher but failed to establish acceptance above the resistance box.
Momentum indicators are also starting to roll over on the weekly timeframe, with RSI flattening and Stoch RSI turning down from elevated levels.
This suggests that stablecoin dominance may be losing momentum after the recent spike.
If USDT.D continues rejecting this resistance area and starts moving lower:
→ Downside continuation becomes likely – potentially toward 7.2% → 6.5%
→ Stablecoin inflow momentum slows
→ Liquidity rotates back into risk assets
→ BTC and altcoins could see constructive upside continuation
→ Potential tailwind for crypto over the coming weeks
However,
If dominance manages to reclaim this resistance zone and confirm acceptance above it:
→ Liquidity remains parked in stablecoins
→ Defensive positioning strengthens
→ Risk-off pressure increases
→ BTC likely remains corrective or capped
For now the chart still shows repeated rejection at a key macro resistance level, keeping the risk-on scenario on the table.
This area remains a major decision zone for crypto markets.
USDT Dominance is once again approaching a critical resistance USDT Dominance is once again approaching a critical resistance zone near the descending trendline around 8.3%–8.5%, the same area where the previous analysis played out perfectly with a rejection that led to a drop in dominance and a rotation of liquidity back into crypto; if price tests this zone again and faces another rejection, it could trigger a move down toward the 7.2%–7.0% support area, which would likely indicate capital flowing out of stablecoins and back into the broader crypto market, potentially fueling renewed bullish momentum across major coins and altcoins.
USDT.D: Bullish Breakout Imminent - Target 9.50%Based on my analysis of the USDT Dominance (USDT.D) chart, we are seeing a clear consolidation pattern within a bullish structure. The price is currently testing a key resistance level around 8.00%.
I have projected a purple path that shows a breakout from this triangle. Once the resistance is cleared, I expect a sharp rally towards the 9.50% zone (the blue box).
Key Takeaways:
• USDT.D is gaining strength, which signals further downside for the overall crypto market.
• Following my purple projection line for the next move.
• Target: 9.50%.
USDT Dominance: Bearish Bat; 3 Line Strike; RSI BreakdownOne of the main contributing technical reasons to my recent shift in being Bullish on crypto at these lows has been the USDT Dominance chart. Previously when I was Bearish, USDT.D was holding support at a trendline which aligned with the 61.8% retrace and had developed a local harmonic at the low and during the recent drop in crypto, the USDT Dominance rose back up and made a 0.886 retrace. It just so happens that in the process of doing so USDT.D completed an even bigger potential Bearish Bat Pattern. As its spent the last few weekly candles trading around the 0.886 retrace and rejecting it, the weekly candle now looks like it's going to take out the last few weeks of attempted bullish price action to confirm a Bullish 3 Line Strike which has historically been a very powerful Bearish Reversal candlestick pattern; and to do so on such a high time frame (the weekly) at the 0.886 Completion of this Bearish Bat while showing buyer exhaustion on the RSI which seems close to breaking down its trendline and killing the momentum; seems to all but confirm that the USDT Dominance will see a notable decline in the near future; one that may even result in the break of the uptrend and of the 61.8% retrace. If these supports break the only Harmonic BAMM Target for the USDT Dominance will be down at the lows of the 0.786 or even the 0.886 which from there we could be on the look out for a potential future Bullish Gartley, but for the time being declining to those retraces would result in a 50-80% decline in the US Dollar Dominance within the crypto market, which would mean that on the other end of that trade you will see the TOTAL marketcap dominance of Bitcoin and Other Cryptos start to rise at a similar rate.
Replace Prev vs Historical Context - Two Clean Ways to Use D.C.Replace Prev vs Historical Context - Two Clean Ways to Use Dynamic Channels Without Chart Spam
Auto-structure tools become unusable when they “never forget.”
You end up with old lines, new lines, broken lines, and overlapping lines — and after a few sessions, the chart stops communicating.
AG Pro Dynamic Channels Elite includes multiple hygiene controls that let you choose your preferred behavior, depending on whether you are:
- executing in real time (needs clarity), or
- studying/reviewing structure history (needs context).
Mode A — “Current Map” (Execution Focus)
Goal: see only what matters *now*.
Recommended settings:
1) Replace Prev = ON
This keeps the active map up to date by replacing older channel instances as structure evolves.
2) Broken channels = OFF (or Auto‑Hide quickly)
If a channel is invalidated, remove it from your execution screen.
You want your eyes on live structure, not on history.
3) Visual Preset = Clean (or Manual with minimal toggles)
Reduce extra visuals; keep the primary corridor visible.
Mode B — “Context Map” (Review / Study Focus)
Goal: understand how structure failed and evolved.
Recommended settings:
1) Replace Prev = OFF (or less aggressive)
Allow more history to remain, so you can study regime transitions.
2) Broken channels = ON with Fade
Use broken fade opacity so old structure remains visible but not dominant.
3) Auto‑Hide broken channels after N bars (optional)
This gives you a rolling history window instead of infinite accumulation.
Why this matters:
A structure engine is not only about drawing the “right” line.
It is about maintaining a readable chart over time, so your process stays consistent.
Practical rule of thumb:
- If you can’t tell which channel is active in 3 seconds → switch to Current Map mode.
- If you want to learn why breaks happen and how retests behave → switch to Context Map mode.
Limitations:
Structure evolves as new pivots confirm. Hygiene controls manage visual load; they do not remove market uncertainty.

Hidden Bull May Suggest Further Downside For BTCHidden Bullish Divergence
Subtle amounts of hidden bullish divergence are showing up in USDT.D. The last case led to a higher high and now we have more showing up during this current swing low. Price is below a 0.618 golden window, so, perhaps that area could prove to be adequate resistance.
$USDT dominance is currently approaching a major resistance zoneCRYPTOCAP:USDT dominance is currently approaching a major resistance zone. If it faces rejection here, we can expect a pullback in dominance. Historically, when USDT dominance drops, liquidity tends to rotate back into the broader crypto market, giving many assets renewed upward momentum. This means we could see stronger price action and potential gains across various cryptocurrencies as the market regains strength.
Tether Dominance (USDT.D) – Daily OutlookUSDT dominance is currently around 8.1%, testing a long-term descending trendline.
This chart is a key risk indicator:
• Rising USDT.D = capital moving to stablecoins (risk-off)
• Falling USDT.D = capital flowing into crypto assets (risk-on)
Bullish USDT.D Scenario (Bearish for Crypto)
If dominance breaks and holds above 9%:
Targets:
• 9.5%
• 10%
Implication:
• Altcoin weakness
• Bitcoin consolidation or correction
Bearish USDT.D Scenario (Bullish for Crypto)
If dominance rejects and drops below 7.1%:
Targets:
• 6.5%
• 5.8%
Implication:
• Strong altcoin rotation
• Potential altseason
USDT: alt season or just a trap? key levels to monitorMarket Cap USDT Dominance. Alt season loading or was that bounce just copium? Dominance just got slapped down from the 8.3–8.5% supply zone while headlines talk about fresh flows into majors, and the market clearly flipped more risk‑on. When stablecoins lose share, it usually means traders are leaving the bunker and getting back into coins.
On the 4H chart, price is sitting on the green demand band around 7.7–7.8% with a chunky volume node a bit higher, so any pop toward 7.95–8.0% looks like a simple retest to me. RSI just bounced from oversold, but structure is still lower highs and lower lows, so I’m leaning toward more downside in dominance over the next few sessions.
✅ Base case: a weak bounce that stalls below 8.0%, then a drift toward 7.4%, and if that breaks, the larger green zone near 6.3% becomes the magnet. ⚠️ If buyers brute‑force it back above 8.1% and hold, I’d expect a risk‑off chill in alts and would cool down on aggressive longs. I might be wrong, but for now I’m positioned for lower dominance with 8.0–8.1% as my line in the sand.
USDT.D Weekly – Major Decision Zone for Risk AssetsUSDT Dominance (USDT.D) just broke above the long-term descending trendline and pushed straight into the 0.786 Fibonacci resistance zone.
This is a high-timeframe confluence area — previous reactions, structural resistance, macro decision level.
Now we’re seeing hesitation.
This is a decision week.
If USDT.D closes back below this resistance box with a clear bearish weekly candle:
→ Downside continuation becomes likely - even toward 6.55%
→ Stablecoin inflow momentum slows
→ Risk appetite expands
→ BTC and alts could see constructive upside continuation
→ Potential tailwind for the coming days or even weeks
However
If dominance holds above this zone and confirms acceptance:
→ Liquidity stays parked in stables
→ Defensive positioning remains
→ Risk-off pressure increases
→ BTC likely capped or corrective
This weekly close matters.
Watching closely.
USDT Dominance at Fib Support, Pivot for the Whole Crypto MarkeUSDT.D Market Update !!
USDT Dominance is still sitting around the key Fibonacci support zone near 7.64%–7.95%, which remains the main decision area for the trend.
Recently, dominance faced strong selling near 8.5% resistance, showing that liquidity is starting to rotate out of stables. If USDT.D continues to stay capped below the highs, it opens room for a gradual move lower, which would support strength in BTC and especially altcoins.
However, as long as the Fib support holds, another push toward the 8.2%–8.9% region can’t be ruled out, and that would keep pressure on the crypto market.
Watch this zone closely, it’s the pivot for the next market direction.

Entire Crypto Market Roadmap (Weekly Analysis)Hello everyone. I know that many of you struggling with your altcoin bags and hoping that the market to return where it was a few months ago.
Good news, it will!
Bad news, you'll get hurt in the meantime.
Let me explain how, when and why:
Remember, USDT.D moves to the opposite side of the market.
The Long Story for the ones who actually care:
We'll have to go back a little bit to understand what happened before and what's really going on at the moment.
First, the entire market has pumped up before the president Trump got elected. Everyone was hopeful, excited..
We got a huge dump right after Trump was elected and that was the first warning signal. Prices for altcoins were way more expensive than they should have been. We had the "sell the news" event. Right after the Genius Act, we've witnessed that Bitcoin has more to show. After the final all time high of Bitcoin, October the 10th, the day many of the traders have remembered what "institutional money" actually means. There was no "decentralization" anymore. Bitcoin's price was becoming more and more dependent on ETF's and the money was driven by big USA whales, institutions..
After they decided to exit, everyone was shocked. Of course, there were many macro reasons why Bitcoin declined, Gold and Silver rallied and so much more. We don't even need to talk about any of these reasons anymore. Ukraine-Russia war, Israel-Iran, USA and Venezuela won't matter anymore. They have all been priced in already. Everything you see on the news is already in the current prices.
So stay with me, here's what I think it's going to be in the upcoming months.
First, FED president Powell will have to leave and someone dependent on Trump will be elected. Which, will result in the decrease of the interest rates (Extremely bullish).
The date of the first rate cuts will be around June/July.
Iran/USA problem will be solved in a way that no one will remember by then and this will reduce the tension around the globe and people will be able to invest in high risk products.
There are more than hundreds of bullish events are stacked in and the time is ticking.
Here is the short and technical part for the ones who are in trouble:
First, look at the RSI before we begin. It's currently at the "overbought" zone. Which means USDT might be pumped up a little bit too much.
Currently, according to my calculations, we are at Main Wave 3 as an Elliott Wave count perspective.
The target of this wave 3 is usually 1.618 fib extension of the wave 1 and wave 2.
That same fib extension target is also going to be the target of the triple bottom formation's target and they're perfectly aligned together when we see the Main wave 5. When you see a confluence like that. Believe in it. Wave 4 will be aligned with SMA 200 levels, which is also a great retracement level of 0.618.
I believe this bear season will end near the value area of %11.25
And that's our target. After %11.25, press that big green button!
Crypto market about to send upwards or doomed?Here we have the dominance charts of both USDT and USDC combined. It's a daily timeframe, which is a relative low timeframe. And thus what I'm looking at here is a relative short-term play.
There's two scenario's that could be playing out here. As always, but it's up to us to define what scenario has the highest probability of playing out. And right now it looks like there's a re-accumulation taking place on CRYPTOCAP:USDT.D and $USDC.D. Which means the dominance is going to rise and so CRYPTOCAP:BTC and CRYPTOCAP:ETH are most probably going to drop.
Let's see how PA unfolds.
$USDT Dominance vs $BTCLooking at the daily, CRYPTOCAP:USDT.D is now pushing back into its immediate resistance around 8.30%, while CRYPTOCAP:BTC is sitting around 66.3k and clearly building liquidity above. Would love to see 65-64k hold here on $BTC.
There’s a lot of equal highs and resting stops stacked in that 72–74k region. You can almost feel the market coiling there.
If USDT dominance gets rejected again at 8.30% or fails to reclaim 8.50% with strength, that would imply capital rotating back into risk. In that scenario, Bitcoin has a solid shot at running those marginal highs and sweeping the 72–74k liquidity pocket.
On the other hand, a clean reclaim and acceptance above 8.50% would likely cap upside for now and keep pressure on price.
Something worth keeping on the radar as we move into the next sessions.
Tether Dominance Could Trigger Bitcoin Rally (3D)Tether dominance appears to be forming a large triangular pattern, and according to our analysis, we are currently approaching the end of wave D within this triangle. Wave D has been bullish in nature, and with its completion, we expect the market to transition into wave E, which is anticipated to be a bearish wave.
There are two primary scenarios for the completion of wave D:
Direct Drop from the Red Zone – The price could simply fall from the highlighted red area, marking the immediate end of wave D and the start of wave E.
Red Zone Hunt Before Drop – The market could hunt liquidity in the red zone first, creating false signals or temporary price spikes, before ultimately dropping and entering wave E.
It is important to note that market makers often manipulate price action to finish wave D, as they require liquidity to clear this phase. Traders should remain vigilant for potential shakeouts, false breakouts, or liquidity grabs that could precede the main bearish move.
Wave E has two clearly defined targets, which we have marked on the chart for reference. These levels are critical for managing risk and planning entries or exits.
A significant drop in Tether dominance typically has a direct correlation with a pump in Bitcoin and select altcoins, as capital flows out of stablecoins and into risk assets. Therefore, monitoring dominance behavior at these key levels can provide early signals for potential crypto market rallies.
In summary, we are at a crucial junction: the end of a bullish wave D and the impending bearish wave E. Traders should pay close attention to the red zone, watch for liquidity hunts, and plan their strategies according to the two potential scenarios outlined. Proper risk management and target planning will be key to navigating this phase successfully.

USDT Dominance Forming a Double Top: Bullish Signal for CryptoCRYPTOCAP:USDT Dominance is hinting that crypto still has unfinished business
Looking at the weekly chart of USDT.D, it feels like current levels may be closer to a cycle top than the beginning of a new rise.
📉 Base scenario:
By the end of 2026, USDT.D could decline into the 3.50% – 3.90% range.
Last time #Tether dominance was in this zone (2024–2025), the crypto market and CRYPTOCAP:BTC were trading near their local highs.
🚀 More ambitious scenario:
If this is forming a second top, the full pattern could eventually push dominance down to 1.50% – 1.70%
It’s hard to imagine now how big the crypto market must become for that to happen — but that’s exactly what makes this chart so interesting.
💭 Maybe the bright future of crypto is closer than it seems.
❓Do you think USDT.D drops below 4% already in this cycle?
