Bitcoin Faces Demand Slump—Will Price Hold Above $110K This July?

• Bitcoin supply outpaces demand, raising short-term price correction risks.
• Stalled BTC dominance hints at capital rotation toward leading altcoins.

Bitcoin’s market dynamics are shifting amid signs of weakening demand. CryptoQuant’s recent data show Bitcoin’s “Apparent Demand” has flipped into negative territory. 

This metric, which tracks the 30-day sum of daily block subsidies and changes in one-year inactive supply, indicates that more coins are re-entering the market than are being acquired by new investors.

Analysts explain that this shift suggests long-term holders and miners are capitalizing on high prices. Market analyst Crazzyblockk noted that the imbalance could pressure Bitcoin’s price if buying demand fails to rebound. 

Previous spikes in apparent demand earlier in 2024 had aligned with major price rallies, but the current trend marks a reversal.

CryptoQuant highlights negative demand periods in red, signaling that supply is outpacing demand. With Bitcoin trading near $110,000, the divergence raises concerns about near-term volatility.

Bitcoin Dominance Peaks as Altcoin Season Speculation Grows

Bitcoin dominance closed June at 61.6%, a level last seen several months ago, according to CoinGecko data. The dominance index, which compares Bitcoin’s market cap to other major assets like ETH, USDT, and SOL, has trended upward since April.

Historically, a rising dominance rate suggests market caution, with investors leaning toward Bitcoin during consolidation phases. However, when Bitcoin dominance begins to plateau or peak, capital often rotates into altcoins. 

Analysts now suggest that July may kick off an “alt season,” especially if BTC’s dominance continues to stall. Assets like ETH, ADA, and SOL are under watch as investors seek higher yields beyond Bitcoin. 

Market watchers point to previous cycles in which altcoins surged once Bitcoin’s dominance topped out, indicating a potential repeat of that trend.

Schiff Slams Trump’s Bitcoin Praise

Economist Peter Schiff has criticized Donald Trump’s recent endorsement of Bitcoin. In a statement on X, Schiff argued that buying Bitcoin weakens global demand for the U.S. dollar. He stated that converting dollars into crypto could damage the dollar’s long-term strength.

Coincryptonewz highlighted that Trump recently described Bitcoin as “amazing” and said it contributes to job creation and relieves pressure on the dollar. Schiff pushed back, suggesting the comments were politically motivated and lacked economic grounding. He warned that the shift toward Bitcoin could harm national financial stability.
