The biggest cryptocurrency in the world, Bitcoin is losing its hold
on market supremacy, therefore changing the crypto scene. Analysts
believe cryptocurrencies may soon take the spotlight as their
market share drops to 55.80% and a confirmed sell signal flashes
for the first time since 2020. As Bitcoin’s price battles to
sustain its momentum and falls below important trendline support,
this sentiment picks traction. Related Reading: XRP Still Below Its

Signals Trigger Altseason Conjecture The relative strength index
(RSI) indicating Bitcoin’s dominance is trading below its midline,
therefore reinforcing negative expectations. Such situations have
historically cleared the path for what is known as “altseason”—a
time when other cryptocurrencies shine above Bitcoin. Experts
contend that capital from Bitcoin could move into altcoins,
generating instability and fresh investing prospects. The sell
signal has just flashed on the Bitcoin dominance for the first time
since 2020 Let the real fun of #ALTSEASON begins

December 3, 2024 This trend corresponds with the lowered holdings
among long-term Bitcoin investors, hence it is not only
theoretical. Recent data from IntoTheBlock shows that wallets
containing Bitcoin for more than 155 days currently only possess
about 12.45 million BTC, the lowest number since mid-2022. These
balances, declining almost 10%, point to some individuals cashing
in gains or shifting their money to cold wallets. Bitcoin: Decline
In Long-Term Holdings As the anticipated $100,000 goal for the
alpha coin gets closer, Bitcoin’s price has run into strong
resistance. Multiple failures at $97,500 have led to big drops.
Bitcoin fell even more on Tuesday, selling around $93,940. This
volatility is matched by a clear drop in long-term assets, which
makes it hard to tell where the market is going. Bitcoin long-term
holders are gradually reducing their balances, now holding 12.45
million BTC—the lowest level since July 2022. So far, this decline
is less severe than in past cycles. Long-term holder balances have
fallen by 9.8% this cycle, compared to 15% in 2021 and 26% in…

3, 2024 Although the present drop in holdings is less significant
than those in 2021 or 2017, it draws attention to shifting market
attitude. Some observers say this conduct shows purposeful
repositioning by experienced investors trying to fit changing
market conditions. Rare Bullish Signal Provides Hope Among Bearish
Mood Even with the negative undertones, a rare bullish indication
gives some hope. Recently in line with moving averages, the Spent
Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) indicates that Bitcoin might rally in
the next one to two months. Such signs are rare, only once or twice
during an upward market cycle. Related Reading: Cardano To Hit $10?
Analyst Thinks It’s Happening This Cycle Although the bearish
pressure is still evident, experts note that these positive signals
provide risk-tolerant investors some good possibilities. Consistent
with past patterns following halving events, market observers are
also preparing for a possible slump as January 2025 draws near. For
now, the declining dominance and increasing volatility of Bitcoin
highlight the need of a careful yet strategic approach. Whether
it’s Altseason or a fresh Bitcoin surge, the next months could
change the scene of cryptocurrencies. Featured image from DALL-E,
