This is an anomaly in my opinion, when bitcoin goes down and BTC dominance goes down, it means the money goes somewhere else, and this didn't indicate altcoin season at all. We need more data like stablecoin dominance in my opinion if there a chart like of that. the reason dominance is plummeting alongside price isn't because retail is aggressively buying mid-caps, it's a reflection of where the money is hiding, and we dont know where the money go.
-snip-
There are many whales and institutions that sell their holdings in BTC and put them on the stock market, so BTC's dominance is also declining.
It's just a dominance turnover cycle that will eventually have an impact on dominance, but just wait for BTC to recover and some FUD to get out of BTC, then dominance will also rise and price starts to recover.
Bitcoin is still entering the beginning of the cycle after starting a new cycle, so it is only natural that the price will drop and some retail confidence will also decline.
What needs to be prepared now is reserve money for buybacks at a cheaper price, so that we can get more BTC at a low price and hold it for the long term.
