The tumultuous ballet of Bitcoin continues, between hopes and disappointments. After flirting with 66,000 dollars, fueled by the enthusiasm generated by the approval of crypto ETFs in Hong Kong, the flagship cryptocurrency quickly became disillusioned. Within a matter of days, it tumbled to 61,900 dollars before finally settling at 60,180 dollars, thereby casting a veil of doubt over its future. Yet, despite these tremors, BTC maintains its growing dominance in the crypto sector.

Bitcoin Dominates the Cryptocurrency Market

As for the recent correction experienced by Bitcoin, it seems to defy all logic as the halving approaches. Predictions of an imminent decline, put forward by some experts from CryptoQuant, could well materialize, raising doubts about the stability of the queen of cryptocurrencies.

However, let us remember that volatility is inherent in cryptos, with Bitcoin not being an exception. A drop of several thousand dollars does not necessarily mean the apocalypse.

In the tumult of financial markets, Bitcoin (BTC) stands out, reinforcing its dominant position despite the recent price correction, according to an analysis by CoinDesk. Making headlines, the prominent crypto traded below 61,400 dollars in Asia on Thursday, thus showcasing its resilience against the headwinds of widespread risk aversion.

Two days ago, CoinGape reported a surprising trend: Bitcoin’s dominance reached a three-year high. This rise, although fraught with nuances, paints a complex picture for the cryptocurrency market.

With Bitcoin’s dominant position climbing to 54%, a sign of growing market demand, altcoins are starting to feel the repercussions of this surge. This fluctuating dynamic reveals the complexity of the interactions between Bitcoin and other cryptographic assets.

Chaos in the Crypto Market: Altcoins Sink

While Bitcoin is going through a period of turbulence, Layer-1 tokens and altcoins are facing an even darker fate. Layer-1 giants such as Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), Cardano (ADA), and Filecoin (FIL) have seen losses of up to 30% over the past week.

The collapse is also spreading to artificial intelligence tokens, once the darlings of the market. Important players such as RNDR from Render and FET from Fetch.AI have fallen by 13% and 24% respectively.

In the face of this slump, Bitcoin regains strength, reinforcing its dominant position. At 55.19%, its dominance reflects the mindset of traders and influences trends in altcoins.

In the meantime, interest in Bitcoin’s halving is reaching historic peaks on Google, even surpassing Ethereum, Solana, and Dogecoin.
