Bitcoin’s recent surge has brought it tantalizingly close to its all-time high, signaling renewed investor confidence in the cryptocurrency market.
-
Despite the overall decline in the total crypto market cap, Bitcoin’s dominance indicates a swift shift in trader preferences away from altcoins.

According to a recent update from COINOTAG, institutional interest has driven Bitcoin’s price up, solidifying its status as the market leader.
Bitcoin’s brief surge above $107,000 showcases strong market momentum; with only 32% of altcoins outperforming BTC, it’s a clear “Bitcoin Season.”
Bitcoin Season is in Full Swing
According to data from Blockchain Center, the cryptocurrency market remains deep in “Bitcoin Season,” a period when BTC significantly outperforms the broader altcoin market.
As of this writing, only 16 (32%) of the top 50 altcoins have outperformed BTC over the past 90 days, far below the 75% threshold required to qualify as “Altcoin Season.”
Furthermore, Bitcoin’s rising dominance supports this position. Since plunging to a two-month low of 61.89% on May 16, BTC.D, a metric that tracks BTC’s share of total crypto market capitalization, has climbed steadily.
As of this writing, the metric stands at 63.92%.
Interestingly, since May 14, TOTAL2, which measures the combined market cap of all cryptocurrencies excluding BTC, has trended downward. Currently standing at $1.18 trillion, it has plunged $83 billion over the past week.
This divergence suggests market participants are increasingly reallocating capital into BTC over altcoins.
The current trend signals that traders are doubling down on BTC’s resilience, especially as the king coin attempts to stabilize above the key $105,000 price mark.
BTC’s DMI Points to Strong Buying Pressure
On the daily chart, BTC’s Directional Movement Index (DMI) confirms the bullish pressure in the market. As of this writing, the coin’s positive directional index (+DI, blue) rests above its negative directional index (-DI, orange).
When an asset’s DMI is set up this way, it indicates that bullish momentum is stronger than bearish momentum, signaling a prevailing uptrend and buying pressure in the BTC market.
If this continues, its price could attempt to breach the resistance at $107,048 and rally toward its all-time high of $109,588.
On the other hand, if sell-offs strengthen, BTC’s price could dip to $102,080.
Conclusion
Overall, Bitcoin remains the dominant force in the crypto market, as evidenced by its increasing market share and investor confidence. Traders should closely monitor these trends, as Bitcoin’s performance could significantly influence the broader cryptocurrency landscape.
