Crypto news outlet The Block reported on May 11 that Bitcoin dominance had recovered to about 58.5% after rebounding from a recent low near 55%.
Rising dominance is typically associated with correction and consolidation periods in which Bitcoin outperforms altcoins on a relative basis, the outlet said.

Still, some altcoins, including Toncoin, Zcash and Dogecoin, have recently shown relative strength.
