Momentum trading 101: buy tokens that actually pump on their own catalysts, not ones bleeding out hoping for a reversal.

$HYPE is the textbook example - when it gets positive news, it rips. Same pattern with $ZEC, $VVV, $PUMP. They're not just following $BTC, they're showing independent strength.

The logic: if a token can't rally on good news during favorable conditions, it's probably not going to suddenly moon when the overall market turns. Strong tokens reveal themselves by outperforming when they should.

$BTC holding stable gives these plays room to run without fighting against macro headwinds. The setup is there if you're chasing performance over narratives.
