Bitcoin Dominance is one of the most popular tracking metrics. It shows Bitcoin’s total market capitalization relative to the entire market, or in other words, relative to the altcoins.
When Bitcoin price increases, if the Bitcoin dominance is increasing as well, then the price gains of Bitcoin is also the result of altcoins’ sell-off.
