Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) weekly Bollinger Bands are the tightest since March 2017 — right before the most explosive altcoin season ever
Tight Bollinger Bands don’t just represent low volatility — they represent suppressed emotion
When volatility is silent, emotion is loudest beneath the surface
Years of divergence between Bitcoin and altcoins have compressed positioning, expectations, and identity around “what should outperform.” That emotional pressure hasn’t resolved — it’s been stored
This is not the environment to:
• Pre-commit to an alt season • Size positions based on conviction • Argue narratives instead of respecting structure
