Bitcoin Surges Higher as Ethereum Steps Up

With Bitcoin continually setting new all-time highs, any sign of weakness is quickly absorbed, pushing the rally further. Although Bitcoin is in the spotlight, Ethereum is beginning to strengthen its position as the second-largest cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin dominance recently peaked at 60.57% just before the election and now stands at 59.66%—a 1.5% drop over four days. However, Bitcoin’s price continues to climb, indicating that money isn't moving out of Bitcoin into other coins; rather, more funds are flowing into the broader crypto market, with a slight preference for altcoins over Bitcoin. Typically, alt season begins when Bitcoin dominance peaks and then rapidly declines. While altcoins are currently outperforming Bitcoin, Bitcoin’s dominance remains high, making it too soon to call a peak. We expect Bitcoin dominance to remain strong through year’s end, with altcoins poised to surge after that. For a deeper dive, check out our recent Morning Note, 'Bitcoin Dominance Surges'

If you feel underexposed or worry about missing out, now is a good time to bolster your Bitcoin position before the new all time highs are made. You’re still early, and if you have long-term confidence in the crypto space, this is an ideal time to enter. Contact your Stormrake Crypto Broker to seize these golden opportunities.
