With Bitcoin Dominance (BTCD) gradually decreasing, market data shows that XRP tends to surge each time this ratio declines.
In the context of a prolonged downward trend that has suppressed price activity across the cryptocurrency market, the Bitcoin Dominance (BTCD) ratio has continued to decline over the past few months. Since July 2025, the Bitcoin dominance ratio has sharply decreased from 65.2% to the current 59.3%, corresponding to a 9% drop over seven months.
Interestingly, as the consolidation process occurs, Bitcoin Dominance (BTCD) appears to be narrowing on the weekly chart, signaling the potential for significant volatility in either direction. Notably, if the dominance ratio decreases, XRP may "spike" according to past price movements.
Key Points
Although the current downward trend has impacted the entire cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin seems to be underperforming compared to the altcoin market.
This performance disparity has led to a decline in Bitcoin Dominance (BTCD), with a significant drop from 65.2% in July 2025 to the current 59.27%.
Currently, Bitcoin Dominance (BTCD) is undergoing a prolonged consolidation phase, with Bollinger Bands indicating the current narrowing.
Data compression often leads to increased volatility in either direction, and if the dominance ratio decreases, altcoins may record price gains.
XRP, being one of the most liquid altcoins in the market, has historically benefited from such price drops.
