Bitcoin's dominance is loosening. As its market share drops to nearly 59%, rumors of altcoins making a comeback are flying everywhere. BTC is stuck around $89,644, with only a 1.7% increase in the past 24 hours—honestly, this growth is a bit dull. But look at what other coins are doing—XRP jumped by 6%, approaching the $2 mark; Dogecoin surged by 10.51%, now trading at $0.139. This momentum could lift the entire altcoin market sentiment. Ethereum is not to be outdone; it recovered from previous lows, rising by 4.36% to $3,114.

In fact, this rotation has been hinted at for a while. By the end of 2025, Bitcoin had experienced a wave of capital shifting, coupled with continuous accumulation of institutional funds, all suggesting that the ETH/BTC ratio might have a short-term upward opportunity. It now seems this prediction has largely come true. Altcoin season is really here.

Bitcoin has taken a backseat, now it's time for small coins to show their muscles Hurry up and run, BTC's recent surge is enough to make you sleep As expected, the copycat season is here, and we no longer have to look at BTC's face The moves by XRP and Dogecoin remind me of last year's glory BTC's dominant position dropping below 60 is really a turning point Small coins are waking up, and my wallet should also become active Finally, the day has come, I'm tired

Dogecoin surges 10% in one wave, this is the real increase. The slow pace of Bitcoin is really hard to watch anymore. XRP is almost $2, it feels like the altcoin season is really here this time... Is the era of BTC gatekeepers coming to an end? It feels a bit different. Bitcoin's 1.7% increase is quite awkward, no wonder funds are flowing into altcoins. It seems that big institutions have long seen through the accumulation of corporate funds. This round of rotation is quite fierce, the coins held in hand finally have hope. Bitcoin is still dithering; it should have made way long ago, brother.

Dogecoin 10.51%? This increase is really outrageous, BTC only 1.7% and still dragging its feet... The altcoin season has arrived for sure.

Dogecoin gains 10% in a day, while Bitcoin only 1.7%. This movement is so obvious. Is the altcoin season really coming?

Dogecoin's 10% surge is really impressive, but I always feel like this altcoin season is coming a bit suddenly... Old BTC is only up 1.7%, it seems like funds are fleeing, so we still need to be cautious. Is XRP approaching $2? People who were bearish before are probably eating dirt now haha. If this rotation can last until the end of the month, it will be considered a success; history is always so dramatic. Altcoin season is here, but keep your wallet in check, or you'll suffer heavy losses. ETH's 4% increase still shows confidence; it's much more reliable than those meme coins. The fact that BTC accounts for 59% of the market share is honestly a warning sign. Is the funds shifting? It feels more like they're looking for a bagholder.

Uh, the copycat season is here, but BTC only rose 1.7%, it's a bit hard to hold on. It still seems like we need to see where corporate funds are pouring in.

Finally, the moment has arrived: BTC is lying flat, XRP and Dogecoin are taking off. The altcoin season is not a dream.

Altcoin pump this wave, Bitcoin's 1.5x increase is truly disappointing.
