Bitcoin (BTC) dominance has consolidated in a tight range of 60% and 58.8% between January 1, and March 10, 2026, thus further delaying altseason 2026.

In the weekly timeframe, the BTC dominance has, however, signaled its reversal after breaking down from a bearish pennant pattern, according to renowned crypto trader TATrader_Allan

The cryptocurrency analyst believes that Bitcoin dominance, in the weekly chart, has already formed a lower low, thus predicting a fresh capitulation in the coming weeks.

As such, the odds of altseason 2026 materializing in the coming months, akin to the 2021 crypto summer, have surged significantly. Moreover, the Altcoin Season Index has risen to 37/100 at press time from 22/100 at the beginning of February, based on data from CoinMarketCap.

How big will altseason 2026 be as BTC dominance reverses 

From a technical analysis standpoint, the 2026 altseason is expected to mirror its 2021 performance, as per crypto trader Matthew Hyland. He argued that an incoming monthly death cross of Bitcoin dominance will trigger its next major crash below 40%.

However, with the help of institutional funds and mainstream retail adoption, the altseason 2026 could outshine its 2021 performance to mirror the 2017 bull market. 

What’s the ultimate trigger for an altcoin bull rally in 2026? 

The ultimate trigger for an altcoin bull rally in 2026 will be the passage and enactment of the Clarity Act in the United States. Furthermore, Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson has argued in the past that the delay of passing the Clarity Act in 2025 caused the bull market’s misfire.

With President Donald Trump advocating for the passage of the digital assets market structure bill before the end of this year, an altcoin’s bull rally is well-positioned to kickstart before the end of this year.

The post HOT MOMENTS: FOMC Statement Released Following the Fed Interest Rate Decision – Here Are All the Details of the Full Text appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Fed has resumed interest rate cuts after a nine-month hiatus, lowering the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a range of 4% to 4.25%. According to the “dot plot” projection reflected in the decision text, two additional interest rate cuts are envisaged in 2025. While 9 out of 19 officials expected two more interest rate cuts this year, 2 predicted a single cut, and 6 predicted no additional cuts. Newly appointed Fed Board member Stephen I. Miran dissented from the decision, voting for a stronger 50 basis point cut. The decision noted that economic growth slowed in the first half of the year, employment growth slowed, and the unemployment rate rose slightly. It also noted that inflation had begun to rise but remained high. While reiterating that it maintains its long-term targets of maximum employment and 2% inflation, the Fed noted that uncertainties regarding the economic outlook remain high. The statement read, “The Committee assesses that downside risks to employment have increased, in line with the balance of risks.” The statement stated that interest rate policy will be reshaped in the coming period, taking into account future data, the economic outlook, and the balance of risks. It also noted that the reduction in holdings of Treasury bonds, corporate debt instruments, and mortgage-backed securities will continue. The resolution was supported by Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Vice Chair John C. Williams, and board members Michael S. Barr, Michelle W. Bowman, Susan M. Collins, Lisa D. Cook, Austan D. Goolsbee, Philip N. Jefferson, Alberto G. Musalem, Jeffrey R. Schmid, and Christopher J. Waller. *This is not investment advice.
