$BTC dominance tells the story of this year better than price alone.
The first half was clearly BTC-led. Dominance rose steadily, marked major bottoms, and drove rotations across the market. Bitcoin was the anchor and capital followed with conviction.
The second half flipped that structure. BTC dominance trended lower, opening room for $ETH rotation, but Bitcoin never truly reclaimed leadership. Instead of clean handoffs, we saw fragmented flows and shorter-lived moves.
Recent attempts to rebuild dominance after the deleverage event have weakened again into year-end. That signals low conviction in BTC leadership and a market still searching for a clear anchor.
Until dominance structure resolves, expect rotations to remain shallow, trends to struggle for follow-through, and patience to outperform aggression. #CryptoMarketRebound #bitcoin #eth
