Altseason does not start when everyone is screaming about it. It starts quietly, while Bitcoin is still stealing the spotlight.

Here is the rotation most traders miss: money flows BTC, then large caps, then mid caps, then the small caps nobody was watching. Each stage lasts longer than impatient traders expect, and each one ends with the same trap, chasing green candles after the move is already old.

Watch Bitcoin dominance, not hype. When it rolls over after a strong run, capital does not leave crypto. It just moves down the risk curve.

The patient trader rotates early. The impatient one buys the top of someone else's rotation.

I break down these cycles every week, follow along and you will start seeing them before the crowd does.
