BTC.D: A Long-Term Weekly Analysis of Bitcoin Dominance
This post is about the overall long-term trend of BTC.D, not the day-to-day action. All analysis is based on the weekly timeframe.
Fundamental Catalysts for a Trend Change
A significant downturn in Bitcoin Dominance would likely be preceded by a combination of these factors:
Technical Readout (Weekly Chart)
1. Price Action & 50 SMA

So far, I'm not seeing any signs of a trend change in the price action itself. A decisive break and hold below the 50-week SMA would be a strong indicator of a major trend change. However, other indications will likely appear before that happens.
2. MACD Indicator

Currently, even a bearish MACD crossover on this timeframe would not be enough to confidently signal a larger trend reversal. It could easily just be part of a short-term pullback or consolidation.
3. Diagonal Trendline On RSI

A failure to move above the yellow diagonal trendline could be an early sign of weakness. However, on its own, this is not a strong indicator and requires other signals for confirmation.
4. Stochastic RSI

There is nothing worth mentioning on the Stochastic RSI at this time; it is not providing a clear signal.

Fundamental Catalysts for a Trend Change
A significant downturn in Bitcoin Dominance would likely be preceded by a combination of these factors:
- US Rate Cuts: An increase in market liquidity from easier monetary policy could fuel a
broader crypto rally, benefiting altcoins. - Shift in Retail Interest: A rotation of attention towards altcoins, which can be tracked by
crypto-related content views. (Note: The rise of AI Search may alter how we track this
compared to traditional Google search metrics). - "Bitcoin is Expensive" Sentiment: As BTC's price becomes psychologically high for retail
investors, they often look for higher potential returns in lower-priced altcoins.
