- The rising Bitcoin -Dominance was bad news for the Altcoin markets.
- The Stablecoin Exchange Reserves showed potential for a rebound.
In the last 24 hours, $ 2.18 billion on liquidations were seen in the Cryptomarkt, the largest liquidation event ever. Bitcoin [BTC] Saw for $ 409 million in liquidations, but the Altcoin market has taken a much more difficult hit.
The proof of this was both the price action and the rapid rise in Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) in the past hours.
The latter was a sign of relative BTC strength or altcoin weakness. The BTC.D was not outside the resistance zone of 60%- and this was not a good news for Altcoins. Nevertheless, Stablecoin statistics showed that there could be some hope.
There was too much blood on the street to ask “when an altealth season”, so we will ask the next best question – what could traders and investors expect in the coming months, and could an altiation season be one of the likely results?

Before a panic is set, it should be noted that Bitcoin has not yet lost the lows of the reach of 2 months at $ 92k.
The necklace [USDT] Statistics were investigated to see if buyers have strength. The USDT exchange reserves have grown over the past two years.
More stablecoins in exchange reserves imply a greater purchasing power that is present on the market. However, it can take a while before the bulls stepped into the past hours after the extreme liquidation event.

The exchange reserves showed some promise. The USDT networks were positive in recent weeks, especially in November.
The transfer from stablecoins to exchanges was a different sign of buying, but it has been delayed since December.

The rejections of the 60% resistance zone on the BTC.D graph took place in 2018 and 2019, during the bear years after the Bull Run 2017.
The current retest takes place in a bull’s running year, assuming it is not over, and none of the conventional BTC Bull Peak indicatorS are still positively flashed.
From a technical perspective, BTC.D will probably go higher to 63.84% and 72.5%. This can be excellent news for BTC and bad for the Altcoin market.
It could come in the form of stable ETF and institutional demand for Bitcoin, while Altcoins are overlooked.

Later in the cycle, closer to the peak, an Altcoin season could come true. It would be characterized by a sharp BTC.D-Druppel and stunning profits over the rest of the market while the capital of BTC turns to the alts.
As an alternative, an alert season cannot come out at all. There are too many altcoins for them all to go up- this could see some blue chip coins and tokens with unique value are the biggest winners.
Only time should learn, but investors must be prepared for both scenarios.
