BTC is the king of crypto. Why?

*1. BTC = Market Mood Indicator*
If BTC rises sharply → Altcoins usually follow suit, even if they lag by 1-2 days. It’s called "altseason"
If BTC dumps → Altcoins bleed. They can fall 2x-3x more than BTC. Example: BTC -3%, WLD/ETH could be -8%

That’s why analyzing BTCUSDT earlier was so important. If BTC is heading below 63,770, then ETH and WLD will also be pressured.

*2. BTC Dominance = BTC.D*
Currently, BTC dominance in the market is around 52-55%. That means out of all the crypto money in the world, half is parked in BTC.
If BTC.D rises = money flows into BTC, altcoins become quiet, and prices drop.
If BTC.D falls = money leaves BTC and flows into altcoins, and altcoins can pump wildly.

*3. Why does BTC become the center?*
1. *First* - BTC is the father of crypto. Everyone knows BTC first.
2. *Big liquidity* - Even if you want to sell 100 billion, there’s someone ready to take it. Altcoins? Even 1 billion can crash.
3. *ETF + Institutions* - BlackRock, MicroStrategy, etc. buy BTC, not WLD/ETH. So news about BTC becomes the sentiment for the entire market

*But there are exceptions:*
1. *Coin-specific news* - For example, if ETH has a major update, or WLD has a partnership, it can rise on its own even if BTC drops.
2. *Altseason* - When BTC has already risen high + moved sideways, the money runs into altcoins. That’s the moment of "altcoin revenge"
BTC-0.49%
WLD-10.82%
ETH-1.15%
