Final report of BTC Dominance In January 2026
As of January 21, 2026, Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) is currently testing a critical psychological and technical resistance zone between 59.4% and 60.0%.
Current Market Report (January 21, 2026)
The market is presently in a "Bitcoin Season," with altcoin momentum limited as capital rotates back into BTC following a recent market-wide cooldown.
Dominance Level: BTC.D is hovering at approximately 59.74%, showing a slight increase of 0.1 points over the last 24 hours.
Key Support: The 59.0% level has been successfully defended as a base, suggesting that capital remains concentrated in Bitcoin during periods of macro uncertainty.
Market Context: This dominance comes as Bitcoin experiences a six-day losing streak, dropping to around $89,369 due to renewed global tariff threats and a general "risk-off" sentiment in the markets.
Outlook for Next Week (January 22 – 28, 2026)
The coming week is viewed by analysts as a "pivot window" that will determine if Bitcoin leads a market recovery or continues into a deeper correction.
Bullish Scenario (Breakout): If BTC.D manages a sustained close above 60.0%, the next technical target is 61%. This would likely happen if Bitcoin price recovers toward the $94,000–$96,000 resistance range while altcoins remain stagnant.
Bearish/Altcoin Scenario (Rejection): Many analysts are watching for a rejection at the current 60% ceiling. A failure to break this level, followed by a drop below the 59.0% support, would signal the start of an "altcoin expansion" where Ethereum and other assets begin to outperform BTC.
Price Correlation: For the next week, Bitcoin is projected to trade within a range of $88,000 to $98,000. A decisive break below the $85,600 support level would invalidate the current bullish structure and likely drag dominance down as panic selling affects the entire sector.
