MARKET UPDATE!
Bitcoin's dominance in the market has decreased from 65% to 62%,
indicating a potential shift towards
alternative cryptocurrencies.
Despite the decline in Bitcoin's dominance, broader market measures suggest the bull market has not yet fully expanded beyond Bitcoin.
During the same time, the total crypto market capitalization has increased from $2.90 trillion
to $3.24 trillion.
Joao Wedson, CEO of Alphractal, predicts a full-blown alt season in June, with many altcoins already outperforming bitcoin.
"Even if BTC drops in the coming weeks, most altcoins have already bottomed out, and it's unlikely they'll fall below recent price levels.
Part of bitcoin's $2 trillion market cap is likely to flow into altcoins.
