$BTC the decline is not the worst scenario for altcoins.
When we look at Altcoins Dominance and BTC Dominance,
It seems we are seeing an altcoins season that has been stolen from us...
Altcoins Dominance has been in a bear season for 1 year since the February 2025 decline (White line)...
BTC Dominance has been horizontal for months (September 2025)
In the worst-case scenario, BTC Dominance goes up instead of breaking down, while Altcoins Dominance breaks support and goes down...
But this bad scenario is not 'logical.' Altcoins were already in a bear season, currently at a major dip area, in indicators, etc.
I can't know how much longer it will 'hang around' here, maybe in a few days BTC.D will drop, Altcoins.D will rise, maybe in a few weeks, months...
But one thing I know is that we will enter a period where altcoins will start to move, independent of the BTC situation, and will rise from here.
Under normal circumstances, this is not possible; when BTC enters a bear phase, altcoins follow, but we have gone through an abnormal situation, altcoins experienced the bear while BTC was in a bull phase. (most likely, in the classic and natural way, people bought altcoins while BTC was rising because altcoins needed to move too, but the market maker sold what they had, 'fraud' here...)
That's why, the impossible scenario is currently the most likely scenario...
Even if Bitcoin enters a bear season and makes a dip, altcoins will accumulate in the upcoming period, for the next rally...
In the coming days, we need to keep track of these metrics again, but this is what is visible in general terms.
In summary, what will be truly destructive for the cryptocurrency market is not the decline of BTC, but the movements of the metrics mentioned above, in a bad scenario...
The worst scenarios that could happen in the cryptocurrency market in the last 2 years occurred in a chain;
- The beginning of the Israel-Iran tension was the first breaking point, the market crashed in April 2024.
- In August 2024, the market crashed due to Japan's economic decisions.
- Early 2025, the market crashed due to many decisions made after Trump took office (deliberate manipulation).
- Again in October 2025, Trump's Tariff decisions crashed the market.
However, these were not the worst. The USA, including the president of Argentina, issued many famous (random) tokens and defrauded millions. Many corporate firms and individuals shilled coins-tokens...
Large corporate companies entered the market and seized liquidity, chasing profits with advanced algorithms in a short price range.
Major exchanges became more monopolized and carried out many manipulations solely for their own interests.
The historical silver and gold rally that negatively affected crypto was just the icing on the cake...
In the past, the market would "drop but then bounce back." Now, the reasons for declines are not only fear but also structural decay + erosion of trust.
All of this has squeezed and suffocated the entire season.
You wouldn't gather this much negativity if you tried...
The market needs a solid reset.
Collecting altcoins from the bear market's bottom regions of $BTC will bring the biggest gains, from this perspective.
Save your biggest hopes for that time.
Because a rally from the bottom to the top cannot be manipulated at least to this extent...
Still, there may be many positive developments for the market in the upcoming process...
There is always an opportunity in this market under any conditions, but profit is no longer easy...
