BTC/MOON/WHEN/NOW? - BTC to 73% market Dominance?
I am no astronomer but I think I might see the moon! This breakout is significant. Look at the channel inside the major channel, the one we just broke out of a week or so ago. Now imagine in perspective a similar run as we break out of that much larger channel.
Technically this is not confirmed, confirmation would be after we pull back some and prove that old resistance as support now but this breakthrough is still quite significant.
Order books still arent growing much but that probably just means traders dont seem to be day trading much more, so likely this growth is from a large buy and hold movement. I do suspect more traders will be fattening up the order books soon though, its a day trader friendly environment ATM.
Looking at the BTC Dominance chart, which is also a thing, anything that can be charted really has patterns that can be observed, so anything that can be put into numbers can be charted and patterns can be found. BTC Dominance is how much of all the market capitalization of all the crypto belongs to BTC, what % of market dominance is from BTC valuation. And well we broke out a while back, it was already an indicator of a jump in dominance to come but many times BTC gains dominance when the market crashes as well so BTC dominance rising is not always a good thing. What happens is that BTC drops 5% and Alts (mostly contributed to by ETH's marketcap) drop 10-20%, that is pretty frequent, well that increases BTC Dominance. Of course the other way, BTC runs but runs harder than alts, and that doesn't have to be the same % because BTC already has such a massive market cap if it moves 1% it will already add more market capitalization than the entire market cap of many Cryptos.
Here you can see that BTC Dominance break out, it seems to have staged a run. This chart insinuates that we could see BTC claim 73% dominance before resisting.
In general I am likely pretty bullish on Crypto for the foreseeable future.
I do recognize that BTC and the USD are on a collision course. If there is a large outflow of USD to crypto, the US could implement capitol controls as most countries do in that situation. It could be a long time but the more viral BTC runs, the more imminent and fast approaching a conflict with the USD and BTC will be. On top of potential outflows of USD to crypto triggering monetary capital controls, this would hugely degrade the United States ability to control the globe with global audits, sanctions and monetary control if the USD starts losing to BTC globally. In both cases BTC would be seen as a threat to Americas security and our govt could act against it, or if the USA does not take action against it somehow, it could finally rid the world of the tight grip America has on it. I really don't know how long for either of those scenarios to play out, only I am confident these are tangible conflicts of interest that will face the US and Crypto some time in the future.
In the meantime, there is a lot of opportunity to take advantage of. If you are trading make sure you always DYOR and build a tool belt of knowledge, only day trade with what you can afford to lose, dont play with margins unless you are really comfortable with losing everything you are trading with. Ideally, use a stop loss and capture gains with a trailing stop loss if possible, especially if you are doing a momentum trade, getting on the wrong side of an asset that just ran 50% and now pulling back can wreck your funds fast. As always, be vigilant and dominate.
