Altcoin-Bitcoin 14-day correlation turns negative for first time since July 2025

  • —14-day altcoin-Bitcoin correlation turned negative for the first time since July 2025
  • —90-day correlation to Bitcoin: about 0.88 for ETH and 0.83 for SOL
  • —In July 2025 Bitcoin dominance fell nearly 6% in a week to below 61%
  • —Earlier in 2026 the 14-day correlation slipped to 0.26-0.27, then the lowest since July 2025
Why it matters: Low correlation favors targeted sector bets, but such periods have often preceded higher volatility and shifts in Bitcoin dominance.
