What this chart measures

Two independent measures of capital rotation inside the crypto market.

Why this relationship matters

This is where you see whether money is migrating from Bitcoin into the rest of the market — which has often marked shifts in the phase of the cycle.

How to read it

Dominance falling while ETH/BTC rises is the classic pattern of rotation into altcoins. If both move in the same direction, something else is going on, typically new capital entering everything at once.

When this relationship tends to hold

In the late stages of bull cycles, when capital that has already appreciated in Bitcoin looks for additional risk elsewhere.

When it can break down

Dominance also rises when altcoins collapse without Bitcoin rising at all. It measures share, not absolute strength.

Limitations

Dominance depends on the universe of coins the provider tracks, which changes over time. Very long-run comparisons are affected by this.

SOURCE AND METHODOLOGY

IMPORTANT — METHODOLOGICAL CORRECTION. A chart of "Bitcoin dominance vs. altcoin dominance" produces NO new information, because altcoin dominance is defined as 100% minus Bitcoin dominance. The two lines are mathematical mirrors of one another and the correlation between them is always exactly −1, by construction. Comparing dominance with ETH/BTC, by contrast, crosses two measures built in different ways: one is a share of market capitalization, the other a price ratio. The relationship between them carries real information.
