Forget Altcoin Season? Bitcoin Dominance Soars as Crypto Price Eyes $82K

With just 23 days until the Bitcoin Halving event, excitement is palpable across the cryptocurrency community. After a recent dip, Bitcoin is back on the rise, reclaiming the coveted $71,000 mark and sparking optimism among investors.

Notable cryptocurrency analyst Benjamin Cowen predicts that Bitcoin’s dominance is set to soar, potentially reaching 56% soon. Cowen attributes this expected rise to the upcoming halving event, suggesting that money currently invested in altcoins will gradually shift back to Bitcoin as the halving date approaches.

Understanding ALT/BTC Pairs: A Key Indicator

Cowen emphasizes the importance of keeping an eye on ALT/BTC pairs, indicating that Bitcoin may continue to be favored by investors until these pairs start to show signs of weakness. Currently sitting at 47%, a drop to 39% or lower could signal a potential peak for Bitcoin’s current uptrend.

Drawing parallels with past data, Cowen points out a recurring pattern seen in Bitcoin’s price movements during late March, with subsequent surges into April observed in both 2017 and 2021. This pattern suggests a potential trajectory for Bitcoin’s price in the coming weeks.

Bitcoin vs. Ethereum

Looking ahead, Cowen predicts a shift in the power dynamic between Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH), forecasting Bitcoin’s dominance over Ethereum in the near future. This projection could lead to a breakdown in the ETH/BTC ratio, potentially stabilizing around 0.05 by the end of the year before rebounding.

Market Outlook

As the week begins, Bitcoin maintains a positive momentum, trading around $70,404 and aiming to hold above the crucial $70,000 mark. Analysts believe that if Bitcoin manages to stay above $69,000, the BTC/USDT pair could surge towards the significant resistance level of $73,777. While breaking through this barrier might pose a challenge, a successful breach could propel the pair towards the $82,000 milestone.
