Everyone’s busy debating rate cuts and Bitcoin targets.
But this quiet chart might be the biggest clue to what’s coming next for Altcoins.
It tracks the market dominance of Altcoins outside the top 10, and what it’s showing right now looks eerily similar to 2019.
1️⃣ Fed Ended QT in 2019 and Altcoins Took Off
Back in September 2019, when the Fed officially ended Quantitative Tightening (QT), this exact chart was sitting near its long-term support trendline just around 4%.
Within the next 6–9 months, that number shot up to over 12%, meaning smaller-cap Altcoins outperformed majors by a huge margin.
Most people blamed the 2020 liquidity wave on “Covid stimulus,” but this move started months earlier, right after QT ended.
That’s the real historical cue as liquidity began returning to risk assets the moment the Fed paused tightening.
2️⃣ December 2025 ( The Same Setup is Back )
Fast forward to now: the Fed is expected to end QT next month, and this dominance chart is once again hugging the same support line that’s held strong since 2015.
Current levels sit near 7.2%, right where past cycles found their turning point.
The pattern is nearly identical a long-term trendline test, compression of volatility, and weeks of sideways chop before the breakout.
Charts like this don’t shout; they whisper.
And this one’s whispering that smaller Altcoins are loading up for their next phase.
3️⃣ The Room Above is Wide Open
Technically, there’s little resistance until the 12–14% zone, which leaves plenty of upside room if history repeats.
The structure remains intact, the higher lows are in place, and the market is still underexposed to non-top-10 projects.
It’s not about guessing the exact week.
It’s about recognizing that this cycle’s foundation is being laid the same way it was before the last big rotation.
When the Fed steps back, liquidity steps in.
And when that happens, Altcoins outside the spotlight often run the farthest.
