It’s not confirmed yet, but Bitcoin’s dominance might have peaked for this cycle.

Historically, that has often marked the later stages of a crypto bull run. But what does it really mean for Bitcoin? Is a drop in dominance a sign that performance is about to suffer or is that reading too simplistic?

As we’ll see, the data points to a more nuanced interpretation. A decline in dominance doesn’t necessarily spell weakness for Bitcoin. In some cases, it can actually be a healthy sign for the overall market.
