Bitcoin’s market share marginally declines, while altcoins rise

While the crypto market dip has stabilized and hasn’t seen further corrections, Bitcoin’s market share has decreased, and altcoins have gained momentum, leading to a recovery.

The crypto market correction of May 1 may have led to panic sell-offs among traders, but long-term investors have held their holdings. Moreover, Bitcoin did not go below $56,000, with the level likely becoming its new support. However, Bitcoin’s market share in the crypto market has minimally decreased.

According to data, BTC’s dominance is ranging around 53% from a high of over 56% in April 2024. From a year-to-date perspective, it is up by 4.57%. If Bitcoin’s key support level sustains over the next few days, its dominance may improve.

Meanwhile, altcoins in the crypto market went through a recovery. ETH rose by over 2%, whereas SOL raced ahead by 9%. XRP, DOGE, AVAX, SHIB, and ADA were also in the green. After the recent dip, traders and investors may have sensed a buying opportunity in these altcoins. 

Once BTC crosses $60,000, it may have to breach its 20-day moving average to regain the bullish sentiments. BTC’s 100-day moving average is at 55,082, and the token may not go below this mark in the near future. 

On a macroeconomic level, the US Federal Reserve has not changed interest rates amidst high inflation. Once this trend reverses, the crypto market could benefit.
