Something interesting is happening beneath this market sell-off.

Total crypto market cap is down 2.4%, and ETH is losing over 5%. Yet some altcoins are moving in the opposite direction.

$RSR is up nearly 8%, $PEPE around 4%, while $HOT has surged over 25%.

But look closer: HOT already pulled back from $0.000526 to around $0.000446. PEPE is holding much closer to its daily high of $0.00000519.

I’m more interested in which coins can hold their gains than which ones are pumping hardest.

Is this genuine relative strength, or just a temporary rotation?
