meme market: which moves first, the leader or the small caps?
I only watch meme when there is independent buying pressure; otherwise, I treat it as volatility.
For meme, first check whether the leader has volume, then see whether the small caps dare to follow.
BONK 0.00000306（+1.66%），WIF 0.1816（+1.28%），DOGE 0.0780（+1.11%），SHIB 0.0000049（+1.03%）
Comparison: BTC 80299（24h -0.01%）。
The strongest meme, BONK, is +1.66%, but it has not pulled away from BTC（-0.01%）。If it hasn’t pulled away, it’s not a trend; it’s volatility.
BTC is still at 80299（-0.01%）。If BTC does not get above 80,941, I treat meme’s right-side move as noise.
The switch for meme is BTC: if it does not get above 80845, I do not treat small-cap gains as a sector-wide move.

When meme is not outperforming BTC, are you still holding?

Key point: OI is open interest notional, not trading volume.
Insight: when large accounts’ long-short ratio is clearly higher than the overall account base, you can follow the direction, but do not fully size in.
