One strange thing about the last fall in price is that the prices of cryptocurrencies fell but there wasn’t any significant adjustment in the trading volume. What this means is that a sell-off wasn’t the only thing that ignited the fall in price. As the prices fell against the USD, Bitcoins dominance in the market increased to 54.92% from 54.5% within a few days. Even with this dominance shift, there is no sign that the price of BTC will outperform other coins drastically.
