Altcoin Dominance Is Testing a Multi-Year Breaking Point

Another signal gaining attention is the behavior of altcoin market dominance outside the top 10 cryptocurrencies. This metric, often tracked through the “Others.D” index, reflects how much of the overall crypto market is flowing into smaller assets rather than Bitcoin, Ethereum, or stablecoins.

Technical analysts note that this index is nearing a breakout from a long-term descending wedge pattern — a structure historically associated with bullish reversals. If confirmed, it could indicate that capital is slowly rotating back into altcoins, even if prices haven’t responded yet.
