View Bitcoin Dominance Chart — BTC.D on TradingView ↗What does Bitcoin dominance mean on this chart?
BTC.D is TradingView’s Bitcoin market capitalization divided by its TOTAL crypto-market capitalization index, multiplied by 100. TOTAL tracks the top 125 ranked cryptocurrencies in its Crypto Coins Screener; the chart’s unit is percent.
Read it.
Don’t mythologize it.
Dominance can rise because Bitcoin rises faster than the basket, falls less, or because other constituents change. It is a relative share of market capitalization. Read it alongside Bitcoin’s dollar price and the TOTAL index to separate those different situations.
A move from 50% to 52% is a rise of two percentage points, or a 4% increase relative to the initial share. Those descriptions are not interchangeable. The axis on this page shows dominance in percent, not a daily return.
If BTC market cap is $1 trillion and the same index’s TOTAL is $2 trillion, dominance is 50%. If the denominator changes, the share can change without an equivalent amount of money moving between assets. The numbers are illustrative.
The basket is not every cryptoasset ever created. Composition changes can affect the index, and market-cap share is not capital inflow, trading volume or a forecast of an altcoin cycle. This page does not turn a dominance threshold into a trading signal.
Less guessing.
Better questions.
Does rising dominance mean Bitcoin’s dollar price increased?
Not necessarily. Bitcoin can lose dollar value while losing less than the rest of the basket. Its market-cap share can then rise.
Does 2% higher dominance mean two percentage points?
No. A move from 50% to 52% is two percentage points and a 4% relative increase. Keep the starting share and unit explicit.
How fresh are the values, and can I export them?
TradingView supplies the feed and its observation timestamps. The crypto chart updates automatically while connected; check the widget’s status before treating a value as current. The page does not maintain a separate copy of live quotes or offer a market-data CSV export. If the source cannot load, use the direct source link.
