Bitcoin stalls at 200-day SMA (~$83.3K) and rolls below $81K, reviving false-breakout fears as analysts say $85K–$88K still key

Bitcoin dominance climbed to about 61% (highest since November 2025) after BTC gained roughly 36% since its Feb. 6 lows. Altcoin activity is beginning to recover: Binance altcoin volume share rose to 49% (from 31% in March), Binance altcoin volumes increased 49%, TOTAL3 (market cap ex-BTC/ETH) rose 17% to $765B, and 12.6% of altcoins have reclaimed their 200-day SMA. However, the 90-day AltSeason Index is 28.6 (well below 75) and the average altcoin still trades ~23.47% below its 200-day SMA (improved from ~44.4%).

AI Analysis

Dominance moved to ~61% and BTC has rallied ~36% since Feb. 6, which is bullish for BTC relative to altcoins; altcoin metrics show partial recovery (Binance altcoin share to 49%, TOTAL3 +17%, 12.6% above 200-day SMA) but leading indicators remain muted (AltSeason Index 28.6, average altcoin ~23.47% below 200-day SMA), so net effect is modestly positive for BTC and mixed for alts.
