Bitcoin's share is 59.6% in a high-level consolidation, will alts have the chance to take over in 2026? Ethereum may become the breakthrough point favored by institutions.

Question

[Coin World] Although Bitcoin still occupies 59.6% of the market share, the industry generally believes that 2026 will be the turning point for alts. Ethereum is expected to become the leader of this round of market trends amid a continuous influx of institutional funds.

Well-known exchange analysts point out that the rise of alts is actually a necessary law of market operation—there will always be certain assets that will emerge. The recent rebound of Solana and the rapid rise of new dark horses like Hyperliquid are actually validating this logic. The rotation of alts has already become a historical pattern; in the next cycle, who will take off largely depends on the flow of funds.

The rotation of alts is being discussed again, just like last year...

ETH favored by institutions? Let&#39;s wait and see, capital flow is the real deal

Solana rebounds, Hyperliquid big pump... the rotation pattern sounds good, but it’s actually just gambling

Will it turn around in 2026? I feel like this round has already started

Is 59.6% for Bitcoin still considered a high position? I think it’s just that the funds haven’t been distributed yet

Every time it’s said "historical patterns", it’s a bit annoying... the key is who can catch this wave of institutional money

Institutional influx ≠ making money, wake up everyone

Capital flow is hard to predict, rather than studying rotation, it&#39;s better to hold core assets

So what if Solana rebounds, it mainly depends on whether there’s a new narrative to support it

59.6% share has been consolidating for so long, can alts really take over? It’s a bit uncertain.

Wait a minute, is 59.6% still called high-level consolidation? It feels like Bitcoin&#39;s current movement is just Accumulation, the real alt season hasn&#39;t come yet.

I believe that institutions are pouring into Ethereum, but do new coins like Hyperliquid really dare to enter a position? It&#39;s too much of a gamble.

They talk about historical patterns, but isn&#39;t it just about who can play people for suckers, haha.

As for the flow of funds... I’m optimistic about Solana making a comeback this year, as long as ETH holds steady.

2026, right? I&#39;ll mark it down and see whose butt is out of place by then.

Wait a minute, is 59.6% still considered high-level consolidation? BTC has to hold this position well, or it will really become the prelude to altcoins.

2026 is too far away; I only care about how much money institutions can pour in next year.

The rebound of Solana is not surprising, but the question is whether it can break the previous high; that’s the real test.

Capital flow determines everything, but who can predict accurately? If you can’t guess, then just go all in.

ETH as the leader? Let’s see if it can break this resistance level first.

I’ve heard the phrase about rotation patterns so many times; the key is still not to be late when entering a position.

New coins like HPL rise like roller coasters; you earn quickly, but you can also lose quickly.

Institutional funds pouring in sounds good, but why haven’t we seen any real money yet?

Actually, it’s all about who can buy the dip the hardest; the capital side is the king.

Mountain coin season? Wait, we need to wait for BTC to ease up first.

Institutional funds are pouring into Ethereum, is this for real this time?

---

Solana has rebounded, Hyperliquid is jumping around, how many times have we heard about this rotation pattern? Haha

---

59.6% of Bitcoin&#39;s share makes people more expectant of alts to da moon, will it really be like this in 2026?

---

Capital flow is the core, but who can know in advance...

---

Watching these new dark horses rise, I&#39;m still holding onto old coins, who is really right?

---

I believe in Ethereum as the leader, but will institutions really cooperate this much?

---

Inevitable patterns, historical patterns, it feels like we&#39;ve heard this every cycle.

---

Can alts make a comeback? Let&#39;s see if they can outperform Bitcoin first.

---

Hyperliquid is indeed fierce as a dark horse, but the risks are also absolute.

MelonField · Answer

Here we go again, trying to fool us into buying altcoins? I really don&#39;t believe institutions are coming in.

---

ETH as the leader? Why do I feel like Bitcoin is making money while altcoins are just getting the leftovers?

---

It&#39;s simple to talk about capital flow, but who the hell knows when institutions will buy the dip?

---

Does Solana&#39;s rebound mean a rotational pattern? This logic seems a bit forced.

---

Waiting another year until 2026, I just need to stay alive for now.

---

Every cycle talks about historical patterns, just listen and forget.

---

Dark horses are always the result of hindsight, who can know in advance?

---

Ethereum can become the leader, but real capital needs to enter the market first.

---

It&#39;s easy to see capital flow, but the problem is how to judge what&#39;s real flow and what&#39;s fake flow?

---

Every time they talk about rotational patterns, how can we ensure we won&#39;t get played?

Another story of altcoins making a comeback, haven&#39;t we been through this many times?

They said the same thing last year, and what happened...

Whether ETH can hold up depends on how BTC moves.

Let&#39;s wait and see who can really emerge in 2026, anyway, I missed out again.
