Bitcoin dominance nears 62% as altcoins struggle, highest since 2021

Bitcoin now commands nearly 62% of the total crypto market, its highest level since February 2021. As altcoins struggle, traders are closely watching BTC’s price movement, particularly the $102,000 CME Gap—a crucial level for potential reversals. As of Feb. 3, Bitcoin’s ( BTC ) market dominance has climbed to nearly 62%, marking its highest level since February 2021. BTC market dominance measures the share of total cryptocurrency market cap accounted for by Bitcoin. A dominance of 62% indicates that BTC makes up the bulk of the market, leaving altcoins with the scraps. Bitcoin’s market dominance reaches 61.66% on February 3, 2025, marking its highest level since 2021. Sourced from Trading View by crypto.news In February 2021, Tesla announced a $1.5 billion investment in BTC and a commitment to accept it for payments, causing the price to surge above $44,000, according to Reuters . This momentum continued throughout the year, driven by growing adoption among businesses and organizations, ultimately pushing BTC’s price past $68,000 in November 2021.

CME Gaps occur when BTC’s price makes a significant move whilst the CME futures market is down. Historically, BTC tends to fill these gaps over the weekend, becoming a critical area of interest for traders looking for price reversals or corrections. While BTC’s dominance strengthens, many predict an upcoming altcoin season by February 2025, similar to previous market cycles.
