BTC is the industry’s stabilizing force; the overall market rhythm is determined by it.

The current situation is interesting. Altcoins like BERA are soaring, but what really matters is the direction of Bitcoin’s dominance. Once BTC stabilizes or experiences a slight pullback, and at the same time, the open interest (OI) in altcoins begins to rise, that’s a signal — altcoin season is truly here.

To put it simply, don’t be dazzled by the price increases of individual coins. Watching the changes in BTC’s dominance is the key to judging when the overall trend will shift. This is crucial for understanding the market rhythm.

BTC-1,71%

BERA-16,41%

Don't just focus on BERA's increase; BTC is the real indicator. --- Altcoins soaring is not surprising; what’s concerning is a full retracement after a correction. --- Ultimately, it still depends on how Bitcoin's dominance changes; that's the key signal for switching. --- This situation is indeed interesting. Only when BTC stabilizes the altcoin open interest can we speak. --- Those who chase only the gains are just leeks; only those who understand the market rhythm are the winners.

BTC remains as steady as a mountain, while other coins are just dancing. --- Here we go again, the alt season is coming, coming, every time it's the same story... --- It's true that dominance matters, but does an increase in open interest really mean anything? I think we still need BTC to break out before it counts. --- Alright, I trust you, then just keep a close eye on every move of BTC. --- BERA soared, but the key is whether BTC is willing to give face. --- This analysis makes sense, but I'm more concerned about when I can get in without losing out. --- Sounds nice, but in actual trading, weren't you just cut by the single coin’s gains? --- Got it, so only when BTC stabilizes can altcoins take off. Got it, got it. --- Change in dominance... sounds simple, but how about predicting it?

Hmm... It's the same theory again. BTC as the reliable anchor is not wrong, but the real question now is who can read the right rhythm. --- It sounds simple, but in practice, it's still easy to chase the high. I've already lost a wave on BERA. --- The change in dominance is eye-opening, but does rising OI really mean a signal? How many false signals have we seen last year? --- Stop talking. I just want to know when I can get on board. Waiting for BTC confirmation is already too late. --- This logic is worn out. The key is that those who buy the dip are always the ones being bought from. --- Interesting, but it still depends on the actual flow of funds. People talk about being rational, but in the end, they just follow the trend.

BTC trembles with every move, there's no doubt about that. But BERA's recent surge has indeed been fierce; we need to keep a close watch. When the altcoin season will come really depends on BTC's performance. Once the dominance weakens, it'll be our turn. Stop talking. Last time, we were fooled by the single coin’s gains. Has the open interest (OI) increased? Still sleeping? As long as BTC stays steady, everything else is just superficial.
