Bitcoin’s market structure is showing signs of strain as long-term holders begin moving their coins, leading to a decline in illiquid supply. New data from Glassnode reveal that around 62,000 BTC—worth nearly $7 billion—have left long-term, inactive wallets since mid-October, marking the first major drawdown in the second half of 2025.
Bitcoin dominates at 61.6% and altcoins struggle to survive. Are we witnessing the definitive end of altseason? Analysis and figures to support!
The crypto market is undergoing a transitional phase, marked by Bitcoin consolidation and stagnation of altcoins. However, several technical indicators suggest that a trend reversal is on the horizon. The $425 billion threshold on the market capitalization of altcoins, which has long been a major obstacle, may soon give way, paving the way for a surge in alternative assets.

Bitcoin consolidates its dominant position in the cryptocurrency market, reaching 58% market share, while financial markets undergo a severe correction. This increase in dominance comes amid a context of high volatility and risk aversion among investors.
Benjamin Cowen, a leading analyst with a YouTube following of approximately 783,000, sheds light on a concerning trend he believes is on the horizon: a significant drop in altcoins could be imminent. According to him, this comes as no surprise, as it's simply a repetition of historical cycles.
