Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) Approaching ATH

CRYPTOCAP:BTC.D   Market Cap BTC Dominance, %
Looking at the 1W timeframe of the Bitcoin Dominance Ratio (BTC.D) is slowly re-approaching it's previous all time high. This means that right now BItcoin's market cap is about 70% of the entire crypto market cap and still rising.

Since the altcoin season at the end of 2017, the Dominance ratio has been gaining and doubled from 35% to 70%. From here on the next weekly candle, BTC is going to retouch the top mkt. cap dominance at 72.04%.

Another option for the Dominance is that this weekly candle (just like the move up to 72%) closes below the level and doesn't gain it as support. At the start of the altcoin season we saw the exact same candle pattern on the weekly where it 1st touch rejected off of the 70% dominance level before proceeding to fall in the following weeks.

Right now, that same exact pattern could play out. We are now 3 years exactly from the previous altcoin season and have seen many coins been shaekn out as well as 10x and 100x growth on more-known altcoin projects. It's only a matter of time before the dominance crashes again for another altcoin season and i'm going to continue posting this chart giving updates until it happens.

In 2017 also to take note of, Litecoin (LTC) lead the altcoin season and right now it seems to be outperforming the market by a lot after breaking out of a 2-year downtrend.

History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.
