Bitcoin Tests $28K as BTC Dominance Highest Since June 2022

Bitcoin’s price is inching closer to $28,000, charting an increase of around 1% over the past 24 hours. This comes as most of the altcoins are trading flat over the same period.

One thing that’s important to note, not just for the past 24 hours but for the past couple of weeks, in general, is that Bitcoin’s dominance is increasing. This is the metric that tracks its share relative to that of the rest of the market and is an indicator of how BTC performs compared to altcoins.

Currently, BTC dominance stands at a high not seen since June 2022, indicating that it’s outperforming most of the alternative cryptocurrencies.

    A mid-term approach to price modelling Bitcoin is something entirely new, something never before observed. Because of this, many of the trusted tools in our financial toolkits might simply not do a very good job of modelling its performance, and it’s causing apprehension among analysts who are used to deploying certain modelling tools to make sense of asset pricing.

    The Bitcoin block reward is forecast to halve on April 20th. This is seen as a bullish catalyst for crypto markets. I agree that it will pump prices in the medium term; however, the price action directly before and after could be negative. The narrative of the halving being positive for crypto prices is well entrenched. When most market participants agree on a certain outcome, the opposite usually occurs. That is why I believe Bitcoin and crypto prices in general will slump around the halving.
