    Ethereum declines as Bitcoin dominance rises
    
    In his video, ‘The Moon’ trader looks at a chart, in which you can see the recent pullback of the BTC dominance. Along with this, altcoins were growing. However, now,&nbsp;BTC dominance has found support and is bouncing back up.

    If Ethereum manages to break above the crucial resistance line, then ETH will officially enter a new trading range, the trader says.

For this reason, ‘The Moon’ admits that it is a good idea to take advantage of an altcoin season, but still rely on BTC in the long term.

Since the Bitcoin price fell into decline on Sunday, breaking below the $10,000 level, it has now reached the $9,639 zone, as per data from CoinMarketCap.

Altcoins have started losing value against the major cryptocurrency, with some of the top ten coins crashing by more than 10 percent earlier today.

In today’s video, crypto trader and analyst known as ‘The Moon’ shares his take on whether this is the end of the alt season. The trader looks into the issue and offers his take on it.

Ethereum declines as Bitcoin dominance rises

In his video, ‘The Moon’ trader looks at a chart, in which you can see the recent pullback of the BTC dominance. Along with this, altcoins were growing. However, now, BTC dominance has found support and is bouncing back up.

At the same time, altcoins have started to decline, the trader points out.

Is this the end of the altcoin season?

‘The Moon’ reckons it is hard to say whether altcoins will continue declining or if they are going to reverse and head upwards in the short term.

However, he believes that holding Bitcoin is always less risky than sticking to altcoins. 80 percent of a crypto investor’s portfolio should be Bitcoin, ‘The Moon’ states.

Although, he admits that sometimes altcoins can give an investor 100% or even 200% percent returns within the short term (a few weeks or months). It is very hard to achieve that with Bitcoin. For this reason, ‘The Moon’ admits that it is a good idea to take advantage of an altcoin season, but still rely on BTC in the long term.
