Bitcoin seems to be slowing down a bit as its dominance in the market dips slightly, creating new opportunities for other digital currencies. At the same time, experts suggest that Bitcoin might have reached its peak, with traders now turning their attention to alternative coins.&nbsp;

Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MNTrading thinks that “Bitcoin dominance has likely peaked” indicating a shift in focus, while he mentions that “the bottom for altcoins is likely in (BTC pairs).” 
He added, “Altcoins start to wake up in their Bitcoin pairs, which means that the rotation is started.” Bitcoin’s dominance, which measures its share of the total crypto market value, is now at 53.90%, down by <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/BTC.D/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="external">1.75%</a> in the last week. This drop might not seem huge, but it suggests growing interest in alternative coins.

Trading team IncomeSharks wrote, “Bitcoin Dominance dropping. If the price continues to chop for a few months, alts could take advantage. A lot of alts holding up surprisingly well today.” 
Meanwhile, coins like Solana (SOL), PEPE, and Dogwifhat (WIF) are holding up well, with small price increases in the past day. This shows that more people are becoming interested in these alternative digital currencies. 
Is Bitcoin’s dominance on the decline signaling a new era for altcoins? As Michaël van de Poppe suggests, could this be the start of a rotation towards alternative digital currencies?
