Altcoin dominance has been compressing for 4+ years — and pressure like this doesn’t fade.
Alts are coiled inside a massive falling wedge. That’s not noise — it’s multi-year compression. And moves from structures like this rarely resolve sideways. Recent crash showed something subtle: While $BTC broke structure, many alts held relatively strong. Rotation starts with relative strength, not explosions. We’ve seen previews before: HBAR 10x • XRP 6x • XLM 5x (Q4 alone) Now most alts are back near discount levels. Sentiment low. Participation thin. That’s where asymmetry lives. Liquidity is improving. Risk appetite is rising. Capital rotates — it doesn’t disappear. When dominance finally breaks, the move won’t wait. The wedge is tightening.
