PANews February 18 News, Matrixport posted on X platform that Bitcoin’s market cap share has not yet shown a significant rebound, and its trend is generally in line with the consolidation of the overall crypto market. Historically, when the market is under pressure and defensive sentiment increases, Bitcoin’s market cap share tends to rise. Reflecting the increase in defensive sentiment, funds are more inclined to flow back into more liquid assets like BTC.
After the phase driven by Ethereum narratives, Bitcoin’s market cap share fell from a high of 65% to 56.8%. It then only slightly recovered to about 58.0%, and recent upward momentum has weakened. This also indicates that even though market uncertainty remains, there is no clear or sustained “funds flowing back into Bitcoin” sign. The change may suggest that some investors are re-evaluating Bitcoin’s relative dominance, especially as other segments demonstrate relative resilience or even phase outperformance.
