The Battle of the Majors is a decisive moment in the crypto market. As BTC dominance nears a critical resistance and TOTAL market cap eyes a breakout, the stage is set for a potential shift towards altcoins. SOL's dominance across multiple pairs and its growing market share highlight its position as a potential leader in the next phase of the market cycle.

SOL dominance (SOL.D)

Current state: SOL dominance has been on a relentless upward trajectory since the beginning of 2023, starting from below 0.4% and climbing to over 3.3% today. This dramatic increase reflects SOL's growing influence in the crypto market as it continues to capture market share.

Key observations

  • Support: SOL.D has been forming a higher high and higher low bullish structure since breaking above its previous ATH of 2.88% in 2022.
  • Market dynamics: The surge in SOL dominance indicates a significant shift in market preference towards SOL, driven by its ecosystem's rapid growth.
  • Potential scenario: As SOL continues to capture more of the crypto market's share, we expect this dominance to increase further, solidifying its position as a leading chain.

Conclusion

SOL.D is exhibiting strong bullish momentum, supported by a well-defined higher high and higher low structure. As long as the 2.5% support holds, SOL is poised for further gains, potentially driving its dominance even higher as it becomes increasingly integral to the crypto ecosystem.


Cryptonary's take

  • ETH/BTC and SOL/ETH: Both pairs are near critical junctures. ETH/BTC's potential reversal back into its wedge and SOL/ETH's push towards price discovery indicate a likely shift in capital towards altcoins, particularly SOL, which is already showing strength.
  • SOL/BTC and SOL.D: SOL's dominance over both BTC and ETH is evident in its bullish structures across both pairs. SOL/BTC's potential breakout and the continued rise in SOL.D reinforce the narrative of SOL leading the next market cycle, especially if BTC's dominance breaks down.

The confluence of these factors suggests that while BTC may continue to hold sway in the short term, the real opportunities lie in the altcoin market, with SOL positioned at the forefront.
