While the crypto market dip has stabilized and hasn’t seen further corrections, Bitcoin’s market share has decreased, and altcoins have gained momentum, leading to a recovery.

The crypto market correction of May 1 may have led to panic sell-offs among traders, but long-term investors have held their holdings. Moreover, Bitcoin did not go below $56,000, with the level likely becoming its new support. However, Bitcoin’s market share in the crypto market has minimally decreased.

According to data, BTC’s dominance is ranging around 53% from a high of over 56% in April 2024. From a year-to-date perspective, it is up by 4.57%. If Bitcoin’s key support level sustains over the next few days, its dominance may improve.

Meanwhile, altcoins in the crypto market went through a recovery. ETH rose by over 2%, whereas SOL raced ahead by 9%. XRP, DOGE, AVAX, SHIB, and ADA were also in the green. After the recent dip, traders and investors may have sensed a buying opportunity in these altcoins. 

Once BTC crosses $60,000, it may have to breach its 20-day moving average to regain the bullish sentiments. BTC’s 100-day moving average is at 55,082, and the token may not go below this mark in the near future. 

On a macroeconomic level, the US Federal Reserve has not changed interest rates amidst high inflation. Once this trend reverses, the crypto market could benefit.
