Why altcoins might surge 300% as Bitcoin dominance falls

• Bitcoin dominance declined in the last few days. 
• Ethereum’s technical indicators looked bearish, but BNB was bullish. 

The market was somewhat in a consolidation phase as most of the cryptos didn’t show much volatility. However, this just might be the beginning of an altcoin season.
