Bitcoin’s share of the crypto market has climbed above 61%, its highest level since November 2025, as BTC continues to lead the latest market rebound.
TradingView’s BTC dominance index rose from 58.44% at the start of April to about 61% this week. The move suggests that market value remains concentrated more heavily in Bitcoin than in smaller tokens.
The dominance gain comes as Bitcoin trades in the $80,000 to $82,000 range after breaking above $80,000 for the first time since January. Bitcoin briefly climbed to about $82,700 before pulling back toward $80,000. Reports said the move was supported by stronger risk sentiment and a $242 million short squeeze.
Bitcoin dominance rises when BTC gains faster than altcoins or holds up better during market pullbacks. That has kept Bitcoin ahead of much of the broader crypto market during the latest move.
Altcoins are showing some signs of recovery, but the data does not yet confirm a broad rotation away from Bitcoin. Altcoin volumes on Binance rose 49% over the past two months, showing that trading activity outside BTC has improved.
Still, only 12.6% of listed altcoins have regained their 200-day simple moving average. That suggests most smaller tokens are still below key trend levels, even as liquidity improves.
The limited recovery means altcoins have not yet taken market leadership from Bitcoin. A stronger altcoin season would usually require Bitcoin dominance to stall or fall while Ethereum, Solana and smaller tokens outperform BTC over several sessions.
That has not happened yet. Bitcoin dominance continues to rise, and BTC remains the driver of the broader market.
For now, the latest move above 61% shows Bitcoin remains the main driver of the crypto rebound. Altcoin activity is improving, but the market has not yet confirmed a sustained rotation into higher-risk tokens.
Strategy is making huge news as it abandons its never-sell Bitcoin policy, putting nearly 4% of total supply in play. Sell a kidney for exit
