Technical indicators
Bitcoin’s dominance (BTC) – the share of cryptocurrency in the total capitalization of cryptorrhniks – approached an important point of turn.

Usually this pattern is considered a bear signal and often leads to sharp rollings.

The altcoin season index fell to a minimum at 16. This metric compares the dynamics of the largest 50 altcoins and bitcoin. The current indicator indicates that the BTC is ahead of all other assets.
