XRP Price Watch: Oscillators Signal Caution Despite Bullish Scalping Setup

Bitcoin is witnessing a tough battle between the bulls and the bears at 
$105,000, but several altcoins are showing strength with potential breakout 
setups.

Bitcoin&#8217;s current price action is marked by a consolidation around the 
$105,500 price level. Although it reached an intraday high of $106,807, it has 
since returned to $105,500, and its dominance also witnessed a minor fall. 
Notably, Bitcoin&#8217;s dominance metric, the BTC.D, which measures its share of 
the total crypto market capitalization, has stalled around the 64% level in 
recent weeks. This stalling behavior drew attention from a certified market 
analyst, especially in light of many altcoins struggling to gain momentum in 
an environment dominated by Bitcoin&#8217;s inflow. BTC Dominance Hits Resistance, 
Candlestick Flash Warnings According to certified Level III CMT analyst Tony 
&#8220;The Bull&#8221; Severino, the 64% region on the Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) chart 
could mark a meaningful reversal point. Sharing his insights alongside a 
technical chart of Bitcoin&#8217;s market cap dominance on the monthly timeframe, 
Severino pointed out that the latest monthly candlestick formed a Doji right 
at the bottom of a previous Falling Window. Related Reading: Altcoin Season: 
Bitcoin Dominance Reaches Critical Level Above 64% In Japanese candlestick 
theory, such &#8220;windows&#8221; are not just gaps to be filled but serve as critical 
zones of support or resistance. The fact that BTC.D formed a Doji candle 
precisely at this window, according to Severino, is a textbook reaction 
suggesting the dominance rally may be losing strength. This candlestick 
structure brings the focus onto how the current monthly candlestick plays out. 
If the current monthly candle becomes an Evening Star candlestick and closes 
below 62%, the odds of Bitcoin dominance rolling over increase significantly. 
Altcoin Season Not Quite There Yet As noted by Tony, if Bitcoin&#8217;s dominance 
candlestick this month forms an Evening Star pattern and closes below 62%, it 
has a high possibility of marking the end of the cryptocurrency&#8217;s current 
dominance. However, the analyst added a key caveat: the BTC.D Relative 
Strength Index (RSI) closed the previous month above 70, still suggesting 
strong momentum and keeping the larger trend in flux. Related Reading: Is

Despite these early signals, Severino warned against jumping the gun. Although 
the technical evidence points to a possible short-term reversal in dominance, 
he clarified that it does not necessarily guarantee a full-fledged altcoin 
season. In his words, &#8220;I am still not of the mindset that we will get a 
typical altcoin season, but I am seeing some of the first signs that BTC.D 
might reverse here.&#8221; For now, Bitcoin continues to hold steady above $105,000, 
and until BTC.D breaks convincingly below 62%, the cryptocurrency is in 
dominance. Nonetheless, the altcoin market could soon be looking at its first 
real window of opportunity in months. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is 
trading at $105,500, down by 0.1% in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin dominance is 
currently at 63.1%, down by 0.57% in the past 24 hours. Ethereum, on the other 
hand, increased its market share by 2.13% to 9.6%. Featured image from Adobe
