Bitcoin's market dominance decreased during a recent 36% price correction, diverging from the typical pattern where dominance increases during sell-offs. The cryptocurrency's value dropped from October's peak of $126,000 to nearly $80,000 by late November 2025. This marks the third instance of a 30% or greater decline in the current cycle, but unlike previous corrections, Bitcoin's dominance fell from 61% to 58.5%. This suggests Bitcoin was more adversely affected than the broader crypto market, with altcoins showing relative strength. The correction unfolded over 47 days, a quicker pace compared to previous corrections, intensifying market anxiety.
