However, he opined that there should be a bigger correction starting somewhere around the current levels. The analyst added that the potential target area for a top in this scenario goes up to 68.56%.<\/p>\n<p>His accompanying chart showed that the Bitcoin dominance could hit this projected top of 68.56% in July, after which a decline would begin. Based on the chart, the BTC.D could drop to as low as 48% on this decline, paving the way for a potential altcoin season. If so, then altcoins could witness significant gains in the second half of the year and outperform BTC in the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-776265\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Finsends.png?w=512&#038;resize=512%2C315\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"512\" height=\"315\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In an <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoMichNL\/status\/1936877259542991211\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">X post<\/a>, crypto analyst Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe also commented on the rising Bitcoin dominance and a potential altcoin season. He noted that the altcoin season indicator has hit its lowest number in two years. The analyst added that the lows of this indicator over the last six years were in June or July.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Based on this, he remarked that there seems to be a pattern since the indicator has hit a low again this June. <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-is-ready-to-surge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe<\/a> didn\u2019t predict when exactly altcoin season could begin or if the Bitcoin dominance would top anytime soon. However, before now, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cryptomichnl\/status\/1934691195046723713\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">he had expressed<\/a> confidence that the alt season would still happen.

He further remarked that once <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-price-pattern-hints-at-100000-target-here\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">the BTC price<\/a> bottoms out, that is a very likely moment for Ethereum to continue outperforming the flagship crypto, with the Bitcoin dominance declining.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The analyst believes that altcoins would start \u201cshining\u201d when the next leg <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-eyes-upward-move\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">upwards for Ethereum<\/a> takes place, possibly ushering in altcoin season. He declared that once altcoins start to shine, market participants can expect them to heavily outperform the markets. However, for now, Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe believes investors need to have some more patience.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $101,700, down in the last 24 hours, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/currencies\/bitcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">data<\/a> from CoinMarketCap.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/QCIIzjFU\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"2108\" height=\"1398\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bitcoin dominance has hit a new cycle high, providing a bearish outlook for altcoins and any potential altcoin season.
