Altcoins advanced sharply last week while Bitcoin (BTC) held near record levels, shifting market leadership toward higher-beta tokens, according to the latest edition of the \u201cBitfinex Alpha\u201d<\/span> report<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $123,054, a 65% climb from its April low, before entering a sideways range between $116,000 and $120,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the flagship crypto entered a phase of consolidation, its share of<\/span> the\u00a0total crypto market cap fell 6.9%<\/strong> after seven consecutive daily declines in the dominance index, the steepest decline since December 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Such dominance contractions without a concurrent BTC sell-off have historically marked the onset of altcoin-led phases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Large-caps spearhead the catch-up rally<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ethereum (ETH) rallied 19.45% and XRP 21.4% over the week. Meanwhile, the market index excluding stablecoins and the top ten assets, referred to as the \u201cOthers\u201d index, climbed 35%, equating to approximately $85 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solana (SOL) also outperformed, drawing liquidity from Bitcoin as traders sought greater upside. The breadth of the move signals broader participation beyond early-cycle BTC accumulation, a pattern typical in mid-cycle expansions when investors raise risk tolerance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite losing relative share, Bitcoin still trades above the cost basis of 95% of coins in circulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Long-term holders have shifted to net distribution, transferring coins to shorter-term wallets, ETFs, and retail entrants.<\/span><\/p>\n

The spot price now sits just below the short-term holder band near $120,000, a level that historically attracts profit-taking. The next statistical resistance lies near $136,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

This structure leaves Bitcoin fundamentally firm yet more reactive to dips, while altcoins capture incremental flows.<\/span><\/p>\n

Market outlook<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Market mechanics suggest a baton pass rather than a reversal. Bitcoin\u2019s consolidation above realized cost maintains a supportive floor, but relative momentum rests with altcoins as capital rotates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether the rotation endures will rely on continued spot demand for Bitcoin and sustained liquidity in large-cap tokens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For now, performance dispersion defines the landscape, with altcoins setting the pace while Bitcoin digests earlier gains.<\/span><\/p>\n
