A Crypto Cycle Does Not Begin With Every Token Moving at the Same Time.
Attention usually moves through the market in stages.
First, the market looks at BTC to measure overall confidence.
Then, capital begins paying closer attention to ETH and other major ecosystems.
As risk appetite increases, names like BNB and SOL often receive more attention.
Only after that does interest begin spreading toward tokens that are still building their stories, such as ASTER.
This is why BTC can be moving strongly while the rest of the market remains almost silent.
There are also times when BTC barely moves, yet certain ecosystems beneath it become extremely active.
The market does not have just one flow of capital.
It has multiple layers of attention, different groups of participants, and different levels of risk tolerance.
The important question is not only which token is moving.
It is which stage of the market currently holds the most attention.
