AFTER THIS BREAKOUT IN 2020 👀 $QNT moved +3500% $AVAX moved +1500% $BNB moved +1300% $INJ moved +1100% $DOT moved +700% And now the same breakout happened in August and no one is paying attention Yesterday, we looked at why Bitcoin could keep printing until 2029 if the 4 year cycle holds. The next question is where altcoins fit in, and this chart answers it in an interesting way. Altseason 2021 did not repeat itself in this cycle, but the OTHERS dominance chart says it can still happen. 👉 WHAT THE OTHERS DOMINANCE CHART SHOWS OTHERS dominance tracks the share of total crypto market cap held by coins outside the top 10. When it rises, capital is rotating into smaller projects, and that is what altseason looks like on a chart. It currently sits near 8.14% after bouncing off a rising trendline that has held since 2016. 👉 HOW THE 2019 SETUP COMPARES TODAY After the 2018 bear market, dominance slid down to that same trendline in late 2019 and then rallied about 248% into early 2022. The slide from 2024 to 2026 looks very similar, with a fresh wick into the line and a monthly recovery already building above it. 👉 WHAT A REPEAT COULD LOOK LIKE A move of around 190%, which is what the projection on the chart measures, would take dominance back toward the 20% area. That is a pattern based projection and not a guarantee, but it fits the idea of Bitcoin leading first and altcoins catching up later in the cycle. If the 2027 to 2029 window plays out the way past cycles did, the rotation into altcoins would likely come after most people have stopped expecting it. The ones who built positions while dominance sat on support will be the ones holding when the crowd arrives.
