Two real periods, and the limits

In this lesson

Read TOTAL2, TOTAL3 and dominance together on real Money Globe data, and learn where these charts can mislead.

Key takeaways

18–20 Oct 2026 (recorded): TOTAL +2.2%, TOTAL2 +3.7%, TOTAL3 +4.3%, BTC.D 60.1% → 59.5%, USDT.D 6.7% → 6.5% — other coins grew faster than Bitcoin.
8 Nov 2025 – 7 Feb 2026 (estimated): TOTAL −30%, TOTAL3 −22%, BTC.D 60.1% → 58.6%, USDT.D 5.3% → 7.7% — Bitcoin's share fell because Tether's share grew, not because money went into altcoins.
Dominance can fall because stablecoins grow, and USDT.D can rise simply because everything else falls.
These charts describe the market's mood; they are context, not buy or sell signals, and never a forecast.
