Is Bitcoin's Dominance Slipping as Altcoins Gain Steam?

"Bitcoin's ( CRYPTO: BTC) dominance sits around 60% as November trading turns choppy. Prices have dropped below $100,000, pushing the broader crypto market lower and shifting attention toward emerging altcoins that are holding up better. Bitcoin's Three-Month Price Performance Bitcoin hit $126,000 three months ago. Since then, it's been mostly downhill. The price crashed to about $106,000 after the crypto flash crash in early October, bounced back to $110,000-$115,000 by late October, then fell again."

"The numbers tell the story: Bitcoin has dropped 16% in 30 days. Q4 momentum is gone as brief rallies get sold. Long-term holders are still up 49% over 12 months, but recent weakness has traders worried. What's Driving Bitcoin's Market Position Bitcoin's market position keeps shifting. Price swings, liquidity moves, and investor mood all play a role. It's still the biggest cryptocurrency, but its market share keeps shrinking. Here's why:"

"The main problem: Bitcoin can't stop falling. After peaking around $126,000, it tumbled below $100,000. Each drop weakens confidence and pushes traders toward other assets. Traders are taking profits early or rotating into digital assets with stronger short-term charts. Lower highs and fresh selling waves have choked off new money. Capital is spreading out across the broader crypto market. Regulation and trade wars are hitting Bitcoin hard. Worries about Trump administration tariffs spooked risk markets, triggering sell-offs in stocks, commodities, and crypto."

Bitcoin's dominance sits around 60% amid choppy November trading as prices dropped below $100,000 and the broader crypto market weakened. Bitcoin declined from a three-month high near $126,000 to about $103,000 in early November, a roughly 16% fall in 30 days. Brief rallies have been sold and Q4 momentum faded, though long-term holders remain about 49% ahead over 12 months. Traders are rotating capital into altcoins with stronger short-term charts as Bitcoin posts lower highs and fresh selling waves. Regulatory uncertainty, tariff fears, compliance demands, and ETF delays have constrained institutional flows and amplified profit-taking.
