Analysis: Bitcoin's market dominance struggles to recover, possibly indicating a trend reversal

PANews reported on February 18 that Matrixport posted on X, stating that Bitcoin's market dominance has not shown a significant rebound and its trend is generally consistent with the overall consolidation of the crypto market. Historically, when the market is under pressure and defensive sentiment rises, Bitcoin's market dominance tends to increase. This reflects that when defensive sentiment intensifies, capital is more likely to flow back into BTC and other more liquid assets.

After the phase driven by the Ethereum narrative, Bitcoin's market dominance fell from a high of 65% to 56.8%. It has since only slightly recovered to around 58.0%, and the recent upward momentum has weakened. This also means that even though market uncertainty remains, there is still no clear and sustained sign of "capital flowing back into Bitcoin." The change may indicate that some investors are reassessing Bitcoin's relative dominance, especially as other sub-sectors demonstrate relative resilience or even outperform in certain periods.
