Bitcoin Dominance
This video analyzes Bitcoin dominance (currently at 60%) in the context of monetary policy and expects a short-term rise, but no long-term uptrend like in the previous cycle.
Monetary Policy as a Key Factor
- Bitcoin dominance reacts strongly to the Fed's monetary policy.
- Key indicator: The ratio of the Fed funds rate to the 2-year Treasury yield.
- As long as the rate is above the yield, policy is restrictive – that supports dominance.
- Currently, the rate is below the yield, which is less restrictive.
- Expectation: Interest rates may rise soon, while the 2-year yield could fall after the midterm elections – that would make policy more restrictive again and drive dominance.
Cyclical Patterns and Parallels
- In the last cycle (2018–2022), dominance rose throughout the restrictive phase.
- This time, a different pattern is expected: Dominance will only rise temporarily, not for the entire cycle.
- The US Dollar Index (DXY) shows similar patterns to Trump's first term: falling in the first year, rising in the midterm election year.
Short-Term Forecast
- A renewed rise in Bitcoin dominance is expected in the short term, possibly back to the 2025 highs.
- Reason: Capital flows from altcoins into Bitcoin, especially at new all-time highs.
- Altcoin pairs (Bitcoin pairs) may continue to fall as long as monetary policy remains restrictive.
Long-Term Outlook
- Once the economy feels the impact of rate hikes, the Fed will ease policy – then dominance could fall and altcoins could perform strongly again.
- This may be one to two years away.
Conclusion: Bitcoin dominance will rise in the short term, but not for the entire cycle. Altcoin rallies are only expected with looser monetary policy.
