Bitcoin dominance is currently sitting around the mid-50% range, and although 
it has not shown any dramatic breakdown yet, some traders are beginning to 
watch for signs of rotation. Data from platforms that track market share show 
Bitcoin dominance slowly pushing to the mid-fifties, but projections 
suggesting a future decline are forming the basis of new discussions in the 
XRP community. One such projection comes from an XRP enthusiast known as DROP, 
who shared a chart illustrating a steep fall in Bitcoin dominance that he 
believes will unlock XRP’s next major rally to double digits. Bitcoin 
Dominance Projection Shows A Breakdown Zone The chart shared by DROP outlines 
a scenario where Bitcoin dominance trends sideways for a while before sliding 
into the low-40% region. This projected decline is highlighted by a wide 
purple zone extending into 2026. The expectation is that a major rotation into 
altcoins, most especially XRP, would begin once dominance loses its current 
structure. Related Reading: Here’s How High The XRP Price Needs To Be To Flip 
Bitcoin Although Bitcoin&#8217;s dominance has fallen quite a bit from its 60% range 
where it was circulating in October, it has fairly held up even when it fell 
to as low as $81,000 on November 21. The last time Bitcoin&#8217;s dominance was as 
low as 40% was in early 2023. The idea behind the projection is not that 
another fall in dominance has already begun, but that the dominance is in a 
region where it could crash if market conditions change. According to DROP, 
this is the moment that will cement the beginning of XRP’s strongest move of 
the cycle. It is from here that the XRP price runs to double digits. Double- 
Digit XRP Dependent On A Crypto Market Transition XRP has often been one of 
the few assets that have shown the ability to outperform Bitcoin, especially 
when traders rotate into large-cap tokens that have lagged behind Bitcoin 
during the early part of a cycle. Related Reading: XRP Price Has Surged 15% 
Anytime This Metric Appeared In The Past This pattern was visible in both 
January and July 2025. The January 2025 move pushed XRP above $3 for the first 
time since 2018, and the July 2025 move saw the XRP price register a new all- 
time high. The projection by DROP positions XRP as one of the likely gainers 
once market share begins to redistribute away from Bitcoin. This has not 
happened yet, and current dominance readings reflect stability rather than 
collapse. The projection centers on what could occur when the market enters 
the next altcoin rotation phase. If dominance eventually drops toward the 
low-40% range, then the conditions might just be right for XRP to break out 
above $10. These conditions include retail and institutional participation, 
deeper liquidity from large investors, and meaningful inflows into XRP ETFs to 
sustain such an advance to double digits. Featured image from Getty Images,
