Macro'Market Structure (Total Crypto)
- Market Cap: $3.92'T, Volume: $160'B ' a slightly bearish daily change of '1.21'% but a cumulative positive count (+0.1879) and a consecutive 'up' streak of +3 days.
- Dominance: BTC 57.86'% ' ETH 12.99'% ' SOL 2.49'% ' Alt 22.27'%.
- Wyckoff Lens: The heavy BTC dominance coupled with a shrinking Alt pool signals that the market is moving from the Markup phase of BTC into a Distribution phase for the broader alt'space. A distribution phase is generally followed by a Markdown.
- Game'Theory Dominant Strategy: Market participants are predominantly selling the top'tier alt tokens into BTC to lock in gains. The dominant strategy for an investor looking to capitalize on this cycle is to short the non'BTC portion of the market while longing BTC'centric positions.
