Altcoin Season? Capital Quietly Rotates Into Mid-Caps

Bitcoin dominance fell to 54.2% this week, its lowest level since May, as trading volume broadens out of the largest assets and into a wider set of mid-cap tokens.

Infrastructure and DeFi-adjacent projects have led the move, with several posting double-digit weekly gains against a relatively flat BTC.

Historically, sustained dominance declines of this kind have preceded broader altcoin rallies — though analysts caution the current move is still early and could reverse quickly if bitcoin volatility picks up.
