What does a rise mean?
Rising BTC dominance: Bitcoin is outperforming altcoins, or alts are falling harder in a sell-off. In uncertain times money usually moves to Bitcoin first.
What does a fall mean?
Falling BTC dominance: altcoins may be outperforming — the so-called "altcoin season". But if the drop comes from a rising stablecoin share (USDT dominance), it's money leaving crypto, not an alt rally; read both together.
