Altcoins Show Early Signs of Dominance Shift in 2025

Altcoins gain early momentum as bullish signals suggest growing market dominance beyond the top ten cryptocurrencies.

Historical altseasons indicate 2025 could spark another cycle, with traders rotating funds into alternative crypto projects.

Momentum indicators show strength despite price drops, pointing to potential sustained recovery for altcoins ahead.

Altcoins are showing early signs of gaining market dominance, signaling a potential bullish turn for alternative cryptocurrencies. According to analyst Javon Marks on X, altcoins have responded positively to a Regular Bullish Divergence, hinting at increased market share ahead

With the exception of the top ten cryptocurrencies, his chart tracks dominance for the OTHERS.D index on TradingView. In late 2023, price action began to dominate by around 10%, and it went through a protracted decline in 2024 and 2025. The bearish pattern was strengthened by many rallies that failed to breach the declining trendline.

Momentum indicators, however, tell a different tale. In contrast to diminishing dominance, Marks draws attention to an oscillator trendline that is rising. Despite losing market share, the oscillator’s recent low readings of about 32 indicate strengthening.

Altcoin dominance is currently at 7.38%, which represents a marginal increase of 0.10 percentage points. This difference indicates the possibility of a prolonged bullish phase in addition to early signs of recovery.

Historical Patterns Support Altcoin Resurgence

Analyst 𝕄𝕠𝕦𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕔ⓗ𝕖 on X also notes historical parallels supporting an altcoin resurgence. He points to previous “Mini Altseasons” in 2019 and 2020, when altcoins gained market share while overall dominance metrics declined. A major Altseason in 2021 further demonstrates the market’s capacity for significant capital rotation into alternative projects

Currently, total market cap dominance sits near 67.26, below a resistance zone near 72, which may indicate the start of another altcycle. Additionally, recent consolidation patterns suggest traders are positioning for potential upward shifts in capital allocation.

All the technical signals, past market trends, and overall market patterns point to a possible bigger rally for altcoins. Both analysts say that when momentum shows strength while prices lag, and key resistance levels get tested, it can give a good idea of where the market is headed.

On top of that, these patterns suggest the market may just be starting a bullish phase, making altcoins attractive for traders looking beyond the biggest cryptocurrencies.
