Bitcoin dominance deepens as altcoin rebound hinges on BTC gains

Expectations are growing that bitcoin must break higher before altcoins can escape broad selling pressure. Market maker Wintermute and crypto trading platform Phemex said funds have been moving out of altcoins into bitcoin, with capital concentrating in major tokens such as bitcoin and ether. Analysts flagged $82,500 as a key bitcoin level and said a drop below it could reopen $70,000. U.S. inflation data and risk-asset weakness added pressure.
