After four years of steady suppression, the ALTs/BTC structure is finally testing a major inflection point.
The multi-year downtrend that started after the 2021 peak — the one that consistently pushed capital back into Bitcoin — is now cracking. That trendline acted as a lid on relative alt performance for years. And when a structure holds that long, a break matters.
But only if it holds.
This isn’t about one green candle. It’s about acceptance above the broken trendline on higher timeframes. If the ratio sustains above it, we’re no longer looking at random alt bounces — we’re looking at capital rotation.
And rotation doesn’t move slowly.
Historically, once ALTs/BTC flips structure:
– Bitcoin dominance cools
– Liquidity spreads outward
– Mid-caps catch bids first
– Low-caps follow with higher volatility
That’s when relative performance accelerates. Not because Bitcoin collapses — but because $BTC stabilizes and excess risk appetite migrates outward.
The key window? The next 30–50 days.
If this breakout confirms, that’s typically the ignition phase — before social feeds call it “altseason.” Early rotation is always structural first, narrative second.
But if the breakout fails and price falls back below the trendline, this becomes another fake expansion — and dominance likely resumes control.
Four years of compression creates stored energy.
Now we’re at the release point.
Is this the structural shift that starts the rotation… or just another test before $BTC regains control?
