Entering early January 2026, the overall crypto market is in a crucial transition phase. If 2024 was the year of the "entry point" (ETFs) and 2025 was the year of "euphoria," then 2026 is the year of "fundamental proof."
Here is a summary of the outlook on the general crypto market at the start of this year:
1. Bitcoin Dominance vs. "Mini Altseason"
The market is witnessing a shift in liquidity. While Bitcoin remains the primary anchor with prices ranging between US$ 90,000 - US$ 100,000, its dominance is beginning to erode slightly.
High-Potential Altcoins: Assets like Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) are showing strong performance, driven by Layer-2 adoption and more tangible practical applications.
Projects Without Fundamentals: Hype-driven projects are starting to get weeded out, replaced by tokens with clear business models (such as buyback mechanisms or protocol fee-sharing).
2. The RWA (Real World Assets) & Tokenization Narrative
This is the biggest trend of 2026. No longer just a concept, major financial institutions are now actively migrating traditional assets onto the blockchain.
Digital Gold & Bonds: The tokenization of gold and treasury bonds has become a favorite choice for investors seeking the security of traditional assets with blockchain efficiency.
Infrastructure Protocols: Projects like Chainlink (LINK) and Ondo Finance are viewed as the new backbone due to their role in bridging Traditional Finance (TradFi) with the crypto ecosystem.
3. The Rise of AI-Crypto & Prediction Markets
These two sectors have become the new stars in early 2026:
AI Agents: The use of AI bots capable of performing autonomous on-chain transactions is exploding, creating new efficiencies in yield farming strategies.
Prediction Markets: After massive success during the previous political year, prediction markets have now expanded into entertainment and sports, attracting billions of dollars in weekly transaction volume.
4. Regulation: From Barrier to Bridge
Clearer global regulations (such as the full implementation of frameworks in the US and the transition of oversight to the OJK in Indonesia) are providing the security needed for large-scale funds to enter more deeply. Crypto is no longer seen as the "Wild West," but rather as a regulated financial sector.

BTC Dominance (BTCDOM) on the 3H timeframe is currently showing a mild bullish structure, supported by price action staying above the EMA 9, 21, and 50. This indicates that Bitcoin still maintains short-term strength compared to altcoins.
However, the bullish momentum is not aggressive. The MACD histogram remains thin, suggesting limited buying pressure and the possibility of consolidation.
Indicator Overview
RSI around 62 → Healthy momentum, not yet overbought
Stochastic RSI near 70 → Approaching overbought zone, increasing the risk of a short-term pullback
EMA 200 remains far below price → Long-term dominance structure is still intact
Key Levels to Watch
Resistance: 4.75 – 4.85
A strong breakout above this zone could push BTCDOM toward 5.0 – 5.2
Support: 4.55
Strong support lies at 4.30 – 4.35 (EMA 50)
Conclusion
BTC Dominance remains strong but cautious. While the trend is still bullish, the weakening momentum suggests a potential sideways movement or minor correction before the next significant move.
If BTCDOM fails to break resistance and momentum weakens, this could provide short-term relief for altcoins. Conversely, a confirmed breakout would likely favor Bitcoin over the broader altcoin market.
Always manage risk and wait for confirmation #dominancebtc #BTCDOMINACE
Altseason Insight 🔍Altseason typically begins when BTC Dominance fails to break resistance and starts forming lower highs, allowing capital to rotate into altcoins.At the current level:If BTCDOM gets rejected at resistance and RSI rolls over below 60, altcoins may experience a short-term relief rally.If BTCDOM breaks and holds above 4.85, Bitcoin is likely to continue outperforming, delaying a broader altseason.For now, the market suggests a selective altcoin phase, where strong narratives (AI, L2, RWA, new narratives) may perform better than the overall altcoin market.ConclusionBTC Dominance remains mildly bullish but vulnerable to consolidation. Traders should watch resistance behavior closely, as it may determine whether the market shifts toward altcoin expansion or continued Bitcoin strength.Patience and confirmation are key. Risk management remains essential.

Over the past week, BTC spot ETF saw a net inflow of $1.39 billion, while ETH spot ETF saw a net inflow of $24.22 million. BTC price rose by 12.2% in the past week, and ETH price increased by 9.9%. The ETH/BTC exchange rate stands at approximately 0.388, remaining low. BTC's market dominance reached 57.66%, expanding compared to the previous week, but still mid-range.

The stablecoin market cap has reached $172.8 billion, just 9% below the last bull market high of $188 billion. This current market movement, driven by BTC and ETH spot ETFs injecting external funds, indicates pre-bull market conditions based on stablecoin reserves and fund inflows.
However, caution is still advised due to high Federal Reserve interest rates, ongoing anti-VC sentiment in the crypto market, and the unlocking of many VC tokens.
