Evidence is growing that a second dome of high-T_c superconductivity can be accessed in the cuprates by increasing the doping beyond the first dome. Here, in this study, we use ab initio methods without invoking any free parameters, such as the Hubbard U, to reveal that pressure could turn YBa₂⁢Cu₃⁢O₇ into an ideal candidate for second dome superconductivity, displaying the predicted signature of strongly hybridized d_x²-y² and d_z² orbitals. Notably, pressure is found to induce a phase transition replacing the antiferromagnetic phases with an orbitally degenerate d-d phase. Our study suggests that the origin of the second dome is correlated with the oxygen-hole fraction in the CuO₂ planes and the collapse of the pseudogap phase.
