Sunday Midday Market Watch: Bitcoin Continues to Bloodsuck, Do Altcoins Still Have a Chance?

Good Sunday everyone. Last night's market remained indecisive, with Bitcoin leading the performance while other coins bled out. As a new week approaches, these key pieces of information are especially important for defending against trend reversals:

**Bitcoin Market Share Is Rising — What Does This Mean**

Recently, BTC Dominance has been on an upward trend, which is a very typical signal. Funds are moving out of smaller coins into larger ones, representing a "risk aversion" mode in the market. At this point, if you see an altcoin being dumped, don’t think about bottom fishing. Especially those with poor liquidity, stay far away. Before BTC market share turns downward, it’s advisable to stay cautious.

**What Signs Are There for TON**

On-chain data shows that TON’s trading activity has recently picked up, with technical indicators suggesting a bottom reversal. This public chain has a large user base backing it, and during market downturns, it often moves independently. It’s worth adding to your watchlist.

**Will 2026 Be the Beginning of a Bear Market**

Recently, there’s been a lot of discussion about the 4-year cycle in the crypto community. Many worry that 2026 might repeat the historic bear market. But I believe history won’t repeat exactly. Looking at the performance of the US stock market and gold now, their volatility isn’t high, and there’s no sign of large-scale institutional fund outflows. Rather than saying a bear market is coming, it’s more like an adjustment in the middle of a bull market — a deep squat, gathering strength for the next upward move. The key is to hold your mindset and not give up before dawn.

**How to Operate This Week**

If you’re trading futures, weekend liquidity is already thin, and the risk of slippage is high. It’s recommended to stay flat or lightly positioned over the next two days, and adjust your strategy after the US stock market opens on Monday.

For spot trading, it’s safer to observe more and act less. Unless there’s a sharp decline, then it’s a good opportunity to build positions gradually in quality assets like BTC, SOL.

Is the current trend a "reverse gear to pick up people" or a "chance to escape"? What’s your view? Share your thoughts and current holdings in the comments.
