Bitcoin market cap dominance has reached 54.5, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/BTC.D/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data</a> provided by TradingView. This marks the highest value in this metric for Bitcoin since July 2021.
A coin dominance is a ratio of its market cap to the cumulative market cap of cryptocurrencies. It is calculated by dividing the coin's market cap by the overall market cap of the top 125 coins and multiplying it by 100.
The fact that Bitcoin has hit a three-year high in dominance could indicate a potential altcoin bull run.

Analysts pointed to the fact that the tech-heavy Nasdaq index declined 2% on Thursday. For comparison, the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM), an index that is composed of small-capitalization stocks, was up more than 3%.
