Bitcoin's dominance has remained relatively stable over the past six months.

Interestingly, currently gold, silver, and stock markets are all hitting new highs, which usually indicates a shift in market risk appetite. Historically, when commodities and traditional assets are operating at high levels, it often signals a key window for capital reallocation — the time for altcoins to explode is not far off.

There are two possible future trends: Bitcoin's dominance declining, or altcoin dominance rising simultaneously. Regardless of which occurs, it indicates that the market is about to shift from a Bitcoin-only trend to a multi-chain ecosystem rotation. The key is when trading volume will flow back into the altcoin sector.

Wait, gold and silver have both hit new highs? Should we start bottom-fishing small coins now?

Just waiting to see when the altcoins will take off. For now, it feels like they are still accumulating energy.

Just waiting for the altcoin sector to break through; for now, BTC is still taking the spotlight alone.

It's the same rotation theory again, but this time, the breakout of gold is indeed interesting. Wait, when will altcoins truly take off? I've been watching for half a year, and they're still digging holes. Stable dominance = BTC still has to keep holding up.

Wait, just because gold and silver hit new highs, does that really indicate a change in risk appetite? That logic seems a bit far-fetched. Altcoins' breakout depends on when the funds actually start to flow in. Right now, it's mostly just talk. Having maintained a dominant position for half a year, we should be more cautious about sudden changes. Can we stop always rotating? Sometimes, no one wants altcoins. Can you stop cutting me this round? Let the trading volume speak.
