Bitcoin dominance is a term that has grown in significance and relevance as the world of cryptocurrencies continues to evolve. Essentially, it refers to the ratio of Bitcoin's market capitalization compared to the total market capitalization of all other existing cryptocurrencies combined. This figure serves as an indicator for investors, providing insight into Bitcoin’s interest among them.

A high BTC dominance index often precedes and coincides with a bull run. During such times, investors tend to resort to investing in relatively stable and high-market-cap cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. The reason behind this trend is simple: during periods of economic uncertainty or volatility within the crypto markets, investors might feel more comfortable placing their funds into established currencies like Bitcoin due to its perceived stability compared with lesser-known altcoins.

On the flip side, a decrease in BTC dominance typically indicates that investors are transferring their capital and/or profits to altcoins in order to achieve higher returns. This shift typically triggers an explosion of rallies for altcoins—smaller or newer digital currencies that aspire to emulate or surpass Bitcoin's success.

However, we should not view these trends as hard-and-fast rules, but rather as tendencies observed from past behaviors within cryptocurrency markets.
