QCP Insights: Bitcoin Dominance Hits 60% as Altcoins Struggle Amid Market Stagnation

Correlation Between Bitcoin and Equities Remains Strong Due to Macroeconomic Uncertainty

Bitcoin is once again asserting its dominance, climbing to 60% market share, a level last seen in 2020. According to the latest QCP Insights, this comes as ether and altcoins struggle to gain momentum, reinforcing BTC’s status as the preferred digital asset during uncertain times.

A key driver behind this shift is weak sentiment toward altcoins and memecoins, particularly following the LIBRA rug pull scandal, which implicated Argentinian President Javier Milei. The controversy has further dampened confidence in speculative tokens, delaying hopes of an altcoin resurgence.

BTC’s price action remains range-bound, and implied volatility continues to decline, with 7-day realized vol dipping to 36v. With no major crypto-specific catalysts in sight, BTC’s movement appears more macro-driven, maintaining a close correlation with equities.

Interestingly, despite economic uncertainties including tariffs, inflation, and Trump’s unpredictable policies, crypto implied volatility and the VIX remain at lows. Open interest has yet to recover significantly after the January month-end expiry, suggesting that traders are waiting for policy clarity rather than just pro-crypto rhetoric.

For now, market participants seem content with near-term range trading, avoiding long-term bets on a major breakout. Until a clear catalyst emerges, BTC’s dominance may continue to rise, reinforcing its position as the crypto market’s anchor.

Can the Federal Reserve win the battle to defend its independence? Powell's reappointment may be the key to victory or defeat

Bank of America believes that there is little to fear if Trump nominates a new Federal Reserve Chair, as the White House's ability to exert pressure will be significantly limited if Powell remains as a board member. In addition, a more hawkish committee would leave a Chair seeking to accommodate Trump's hopes for rate cuts with no room to maneuver.

From panic to reversal: BTC rises above $93,000 again, has a structural turning point arrived?

BTC has strongly returned to $93,000. Although there appears to be no direct positive catalyst, in reality, four macro factors are resonating simultaneously to trigger a potential structural turning point: expectations of interest rate cuts, improving liquidity, political transitions, and the loosening stance of traditional institutions.
