rangebound BTC, rising dominance, and bleeding Alts since 5/21 (scenario 2)
despite pockets of outperformance: HYPE, MKR, JTO, USELESS, most Alts struggling vs BTC
next major risk on regime likely triggered by a BTC breakout to $120k+
Since the last drop in BTC dominance (ending 5/13), Alts have struggled to keep pace as BTC climbed to its highest daily close
what's next?
1/ BTC breakout w decreasing dominance
2/ rangebound btc w rising dominance
3/ BTC breakdown w rising dominance
4/ something else?
BTC.d returns to May 9th level when BTC started this move from $75k.
Since then OTHERS moved a similar magnitude as BTC (44% vs 38%).
On the lookout for continuation down in BTC.d and OTHERS up if BTC holds at or above this level.
Otherwise, Alt strength could be short lived.

is the decoupling in the room with us now?
since Jan 23rd (3 months ago):
BTC down 10%
NASDAQ down 14%
S&P down 11%
recent drawdown of similar magnitude to drawdowns during feb to oct '24 range
BTC closed down more than current level on 49 out of 219 days during Feb-Oct ‘24 range
$72k would be a 34% drawdown from current range high and comparable to max drawdown in Feb-Oct ‘24 range; Currently down 21% from range high

Alt market drawdown relative to prior rolling 365 day periods
we spent 4 months last year (july to nov) over 55% below recent highs
tbd how long we spend in that zone this time

trees dont grow to the sky
don't confuse rotating liquidity from a cycle duration trend
create a trading plan and stick to it
better to take profits and leave something on the table than to roundtrip multiples of your initial position
