Analyst Captain Fibik To tell Bitcoin’s dominance, as measured by the formation of a parabolic curve of market capitalization, indicates a selling point. BTC’s dominance shrank to 44% while Ethereum’s dominance rose to 19%. As BTC price rises and BTC.D falls, it suggests that alts have a very bullish opportunity and may start to rally.

Altcoin rally?Analyst warns traders
Top Crypto Analyst Calls Ethereum “Altcoin Leading Indicators‘ (I emphasized Rekt Capital’s view here), some say the ‘window’ may not be that big and is likely to recede.
Scott Melker, author of The Wolf Den Newsletter, To tell Altcoin traders say “enjoy it while it lasts”
Michael van de Poppe expects Bitcoin to rise to $40,000 and Ethereum to rise in the $2,800 to $3,000 range. Alts should also see some momentum, but the window is likely to be smaller, he noted.
In general, I think this quarter is going to be a fun one.#bitcoin You can keep running towards $40-50,000. #ethereum $2,800-$3,000. #Altcoin Momentum is picking up as confidence returns to the market (and there is a small window in the market).
2H Recession -> Correction #Crypt.
