Bitcoin bottom at $60K? The answer might be in Tether’s dominance chart
Bitcoin price more than doubled the last time Tether’s crypto market dominance topped out, a signal that is flashing again in 2026.
Bitcoin (BTC) may form a bottom in the coming weeks as Tether’s USDT dominance retests a key resistance level that preceded BTC’s 2022 cycle low.
As of February, Tether dominance reached the 8.50%–9.00% range (the red area in the chart below), revisiting a historically significant zone that previously aligned with Bitcoin’s bear market lows.
When USDT’s market share rises, it usually means traders are playing it safe and parking money in stablecoins instead of riskier coins like Bitcoin. Likewise, a rotation back into crypto usually aligns with USDT dominance falling.
