Bitcoin dominance exhaustion now signals a shift in market momentum. The BTC.D index has reached a level that, in past cycles, marked the point where Bitcoin’s lead faded and altcoins began to take flow. Analysts tracking capital movement said a break below this trendline often triggers liquidity rotation into high-beta assets such as Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Avalanche (AVAX). $BTC.D | Bitcoin DominanceApproaching the 59.5% level I called out on October 4.The fifth wave is unfolding as an ending diagonal, not an impulsive move — signaling exhaustion in BTC.D.The upside move should be nearing completion.Alts should start to outperform. 🤝 https://t.co/2RF0QIfya3 pic.twitter.com/2uc0htJEw6 — Quantum Ascend (@quantum_ascend) October 9, 2025 Altcoin market capitalization excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum has pushed to a fresh monthly high, showing that new money is entering the broader crypto market. While Bitcoin holds firm above $120K, traders see a buildup of strength beneath the surface. Each rally attempt from here could draw more capital toward the assets that move faster once Bitcoin dominance weakens. The structure remains the same: Bitcoin provides stability; altcoins chase expansion. If dominance rejects this resistance as it did in 2021, the market could enter the first true altcoin season of 2025. Bitcoin Finds Support at $120K–$118K Zone On the weekly chart, Bitcoin remains well-supported even after its latest pullback. Strong demand sits between $120,000 and $118,000, creating a solid base for the next upward phase. Source: TradingView There are several support layers, and the higher structure remains intact. This means Bitcoin can bounce from any of these areas without breaking its broader uptrend.

These levels line up with previous Fibonacci extensions and prior resistance areas. The next upward leg could be important, pushing Bitcoin more than 20% higher from its current range once momentum returns. Altcoins in Focus as Capital Flows Shift As Bitcoin dominance retesting trendline draws market attention, traders are eyeing a shift toward altcoins in focus for Q4 2025. Historically, when BTC.D rejection occurs, funds move into high-momentum tokens, in this instance, Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Avalanche (AVAX), the core of this cycle’s altcoin season 2025 narrative. Solana (SOL) Eyes $400 After Mid-Range Break: Solana continues to trade near its key mid-range resistance. A breakout above this zone could send SOL toward the $400 mark, a level that aligns with previous cycle highs. Cardano (ADA) Targets $2 Zone: Cardano remains range-bound but is showing signs of accumulation. If ADA breaks above its current resistance, the next target lies around $2 — a psychological and technical level not seen since the last bull run. Avalanche (AVAX) Builds Toward $80: Avalanche also sits just under a strong resistance level. A confirmed move higher could take AVAX toward $80, supported by strong accumulation patterns seen in recent weeks.
