Time For Altcoins to Shine As Bitcoin Dominance All Set to Break Support

The altcoins have finally arrived at the Bull run party that Bitcoin initiated a couple of weeks ago, bringing back the memory of 2017.  Bitcoin’s bull rally started after the king coin broke past the key resistance of $13,000 and $15,000 and is currently trading at $18,658 registering more than 17% gains over the week. Altcoins remained fairly quiet for the past week except for litecoin which made 33% gains over the past week.

Bitcoin Dominance played a key factor in triggering the alt season where the market cap dominance of the king coin broke below the key support of 66.37. Popular Twitter analyst who goes by the name of The Wolf of All Streets has predicted that if BTC breaks past its key support then it could be the alt season for 2020.

The altcoin has remained quite inactive in terms of price movement over the past two years and failed to break past the psychological level of $0.30 even when other coins went through many price fluctuations. The third-largest cryptocurrency has made 53.25% gains over the past week.
