Bitcoin dominance hit a new cycle high despite price correction as investors shift from altcoins, driven by stronger-than-expected U.S. job growth and the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance. According to Matrixport, Bitcoin (BTC) dominance has surged to a new cycle high, surpassing 61%.

Bitcoin has ‘more than 50% chance’ of new high by June: Cory Klippsten
The chances of Bitcoin surpassing its all-time high of $109,000 by June are favorable, but the market first needs time to absorb volatile macroeconomic conditions, says Swan Bitcoin CEO Cory Klippsten. “I think there’s more than 50% chance we will see all-time highs before the end of June this year,” Klippsten told Cointelegraph.
